Automatic Question Generation (QG) can make reading-comprehension practice and assessment scalable. For educational use, generated questions should diagnose a target comprehension skill and rely on the passage evidence an expert would use to write the question. Existing answer-aware and skill-conditioned QG methods improve controllability, but often leave these skill-to-question and evidence-to-question dependencies implicit. We present SagE-QG, a Skill-aligned and Evidence-Grounding Framework for Question Generation. SagE-QG exposes evidence-grounded trajectories, optimizes multi-aspect rewards for answerability, skill alignment, and human similarity, and applies Counterfactual Evidence Intervention in reinforcement learning. The intervention removes selected evidence and rewards the Interventional Grounding Gap between full-passage and masked-evidence generations. Experiments on three reading-comprehension QG datasets show that SagE-QG delivers stronger educational quality, especially in skill alignment and answerability, while achieving competitive reference-based results.

Current Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at solving complex mathematical problems, yet this proficiency does not inherently translate into effective tutoring. While advanced LLM tutors may leverage multi-agent frameworks or fine-tuning, most still lack a mechanism to systematically accumulate and reuse pedagogical experience over time, limiting their adaptability to diverse student needs during fluid, multi-turn interactions. To bridge this gap, we propose the Reflective Experience-Augmented Tutoring (REAT) framework, which couples experience distillation from historical dialogues with real-time adaptive retrieval. Driven by a multi-agent Observer-Critic-Mentor (OCM) distillation pipeline, REAT reviews past conversational trajectories and distills raw interactions into structured, problem-agnostic pedagogical experiences. During live tutoring, a state-aware retrieval module injects these curated experiences to provide adaptive scaffolding based on the student’s cognitive state. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms both prompt-only and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) baselines, particularly in improving complex, low-scoring teaching scenarios. Crucially, the distilled experiences exhibit robust generalization across diverse model architectures and mathematical datasets.
