    The dual mechanisms of control framework describes two modes of goal-directed behavior: proactive control (goal maintenance) and reactive control (goal activation on task demands). Although these mechanisms are relevant to learner behaviors during interaction with intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), their relation to ITSs is under-researched. We propose a manipulation to induce proactive or reactive control during interaction with an online tutoring system. We present two experiments where students solved problems using either proactive or reactive control. Study 1 validates the manipulation by investigating behavioral measures that reflect usage of the intended strategy and assesses whether either mode impacted learning. Study 2 investigates if alternating between control modes during problem solving affects student performance.
