Resumo


A utilização de questões fornece um importante mecanismo para promover o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem. Por sua vez, itens educacionais podem ser caracterizados através de métodos como os níveis cognitivos da taxonomia de Bloom e conjuntos de verbos associados a cada um deles. Diante disto, este trabalho propõe uma nova abordagem para a classificação automática de questões. Isso foi feito através da construção de classificadores treinados com features construídas com léxicos baseados nos verbos de ação da taxonomia, em contraste com as soluções existentes. Foi demonstrado a viabilidade desta solução, com os resultados indicando um F1 médio de 0,51 e 0,55 para as diferentes versões de léxicos produzidas.

Palavras-chave: sistemas de apoio à educação, taxonomia de Bloom, classificação de questões, extração de features, processamento de linguagem natural, aprendizado de máquina
