Advances in Intelligent Systems and Technologies Proceedings ECIT2004 - Third European Conference on Intelligent Systems and Technologies Iasi, Romania, July 21-23, 2004 Toward Supporting Knowledge Quality with an Adaptive and Intelligent E-book Elena Railean University State of Moldova, Centre of Informational Technology Chisinau, Moldova raileanu@usm.md Abstract. The emphasis in education of the future specialist must be not only on the quantity, but also on the quality of knowledge. The traditional model of teaching: teacher - class of students, and the big volume of information in traditional classrooms, cannot be used side by side with the globalisation of social processes, with the radical transformation of informational-communicative infrastructures and with the world tendency of integration and cooperation in all ramifications of science, education and technique. The reasons are different, but first of all we can emphasize different levels of students’ knowledge (Bloom, 1956, Huitt, 2000). A new approach for directing the student cognitive activity through intelligent e- book is proposed. This structure includes educational models: model of knowledge, model of student, model of domain, teaching model, and model of book and the base of knowledge. These models will be included in an adaptive and electronic intelligent book with the aim to provide understanding in study of such subjects us: mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. 1.

In different periods of time these questions have tried to be solved in different manners and through different ways. The first, Socrates schools [1], were schools with emphasis of individualization in instruction. The continued
