A Literature Review of the Adaptive Algorithms Adopted in Adaptive Learning Systems

The present study screened out 16 papers from SSCI-indexed and SCI-indexed journals for a literature review on the topic of adaptive algorithms applied in various adaptive learning systems. It is found that most of the reviewed articles directly adopted some long-standing algorithms, although a few of them employed game engines or developed their own algorithms for the construction of the adaptive learning systems. The literature review also shows that the majority of the studies have testified the effectiveness of the adopted algorithms, although many of them cannot achieve the ideal dynamic adaptivity.
