SE-Coach
Transform Mathematical Learning
Harness the power of self-explanation to unlock deep mathematical understanding. Our AI-powered platform guides students through proven learning techniques that boost comprehension by up to 89%.
The Self-Explanation Revolution
Why simply reading proofs isn't enough to build true understanding.
❌ The Research-Identified Problem
- Students skip explanatory text in mathematical proofs
- Focus on formulas, not logical connections
- Move through arguments without understanding inferences
- Cannot judge validity of even simple proofs
- Eye tracking confirms poor reading patterns vs. mathematicians
Research: Shepherd, Selden & Selden (2012); Weber (2010); Inglis & Alcock (2012)
✅ SE-Coach's Solution
- AI-guided questioning of each proof statement
- Digital training that relates statements to existing knowledge
- Automated feedback distinguishing high-quality explanations
- Progress tracking showing comprehension improvement
- Scalable platform for institutional deployment
Built on proven 20-minute training methodology
Students who received self-explanation training achieved comprehension scores higher by almost one standard deviation compared to those who studied without training. The effect persists over time, with benefits observed three weeks after initial training.
— Hodds, Alcock, & Inglis (2014), Loughborough UniversityWhy Self-Explanation Works
The cognitive science behind deeper, more durable learning.
Higher-Quality Explanations
Audio analysis proves trained students infer more justifications and show greater awareness of proof structure.
Deeper Concentration
Eye tracking reveals students who received training have longer fixation durations—a direct measure of concentration.
Better Logical Connection
Gaze patterns show trained students are significantly more attentive to relationships between proof statements.
Measurable Gains
Lab studies demonstrate almost one standard deviation improvement in proof comprehension test scores.
Persistent Learning
Longitudinal studies confirm benefits lasting at least three weeks, with continued superior performance on new proofs.
Quick Training Investment
Just 20 minutes of training delivers lasting improvements—now automated in SE-Coach.
