Summary :

We propose a knowledge-based instruction system for writing beautiful Japanese characters correctly, by using ICAI techniques. With this kind of CAI, it is important to relate the character pattern with the skill knowledge of handwriting because the rules of writing are indirectly shown as a feature of the character pattern. However, the CAI for penmanship previously reported was only based on the pattern analysis of the character. In this paper, we describe the rules of writing for this system as the skill knowledge of penmanship in the declarative way. This system evaluates and reforms the student's handwriting based on the rules of writing stored in a knowledge base. We would also introduce the error knowledge by the student's frequent handwriting mistakes. Finally, this system can estimate the student's degree of handwriting ability by their input charecters and give suitable guidance for improving their skills of writing. Students can learn the skills and the knowledge of penmanship effectively by this system. This system is also useful for foreign students learning the Japanese language.
