Abstract
The Emma educational system embodies a Knowledge Based System (KBS) that models a problem-solving method defined at an abstract level. In order to allow different explicit problem-solvings, the KBS is based on a Task-Method modelisation. The objectives of this paper are (1) to explain how we take advantage of the flexibility provided by the modelisation by using analysis-modules that can study what the influence of the student's propositions on the rest of the solving is; (2) to highlight that elaborating a knowledge-base that allows such a flexibility requires the use of automated tools that help the modelling-team to keep a precise understanding of how the different notions interact one with another; and (3) to demonstrate that these different tools can be constructed over the same set of reflective primitive modules, modules that are linked to the problem-solving modelisation.
