Matsuda, Noboru; Wood, Jesse; Shrivastava, Raj; Shimmei, Machi; Bier, Norman – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2022
A model that maps the requisite skills, or knowledge components, to the contents of an online course is necessary to implement many adaptive learning technologies. However, developing a skill model and tagging courseware contents with individual skills can be expensive and error prone. We propose a technology to automatically identify latent…

Jacob Whitehill; Jennifer LoCasale-Crouch – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2024
With the aim to provide teachers with more specific, frequent, and actionable feedback about their teaching, we explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to estimate "Instructional Support" domain scores of the CLassroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), a widely used observation protocol. We design a machine learning…

Shi Pu; Yu Yan; Brandon Zhang – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2024
We propose a novel model, Wide & Deep Item Response Theory (Wide & Deep IRT), to predict the correctness of students' responses to questions using historical clickstream data. This model combines the strengths of conventional Item Response Theory (IRT) models and Wide & Deep Learning for Recommender Systems. By leveraging clickstream…

Paquette, Luc; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Li, Ziyue; Andres, Alexandra; Baker, Ryan – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
The growing use of machine learning for the data-driven study of social issues and the implementation of data-driven decision processes has required researchers to re-examine the often implicit assumption that datadriven models are neutral and free of biases. The careful examination of machine-learned models has identified examples of how existing…

Crossley, Scott A.; Allen, Laura K.; Snow, Erica L.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2016
This study investigates a novel approach to automatically assessing essay quality that combines natural language processing approaches that assess text features with approaches that assess individual differences in writers such as demographic information, standardized test scores, and survey results. The results demonstrate that combining text…

Ezen-Can, Aysu; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2015
Within the landscape of educational data, textual natural language is an increasingly vast source of learning-centered interactions. In natural language dialogue, student contributions hold important information about knowledge and goals. Automatically modeling the dialogue act of these student utterances is crucial for scaling natural language…
