A key challenge in the design of tutorial dialogue systems is identifying tutorial strategies that can effectively balance
the tradeoffs between cognitive and affective student outcomes. This balance is problematic because the precise nature of
the interdependence between cognitive and affective strategies is not well understood. Furthermore, previous studies suggest
that some cognitive and motivational goals are at odds with one another because a tutorial strategy designed to maximize one
may negatively impact the other. This paper reports on a tutorial dialogue study that investigates motivational strategies
and cognitive feedback. It was found that the choice of corrective tutorial strategy makes a significant difference in the
outcomes of both student learning gains and self-efficacy gains.
