| Abstract | The purpose of this research project was the development and initial validation of Mandate Consultant, an expert system that provides a second opinion of the appropriateness of the decision-making process used in the development of Individualized Education Programs with handicapped children. (Expert systems are a development of artificial intelligence that combines the computer's capacity for storing specialized knowledge with a general set of rules intended to replicate the decision-making process of a human expert.) This expert system was designed as a tool for administrators of special education programs. The project utilized a four-stage product development approach: (1) product definition; (2) product design; (3) prototype development; and (4) validation of product performance. The validation consisted of a summative evaluation designed to assess whether the expert system accurately emulated the knowledge of experienced educators. It was found that conclusions produced by consultations using Mandate Consultant generally matched the conclusions of the "better" human experts and exceeded the conclusions of the majority of human experts. Thirty-five appendixes comprising more than half the document describe the work of all four phases of the development of Mandate Consultant. (KM) |
