Abstract

In this paper, we propose an outline of a perceptual computer for grading mathematical tests written by students studying within the bilingual education program. A generic approach to implementing such a computer is proposed. Concrete implementation is described for the case of teaching mathematics in French. The perceptual computer constructed for this case is tested with real tests written by students of one of Kyiv bilingual schools. Results show that the grades obtained using words are compatible with the grades assigned using conventional numbers, which validates the use of the perceptual computer to reduce subjectivity and uncertainty for a teacher.
