Melhuish, Kathleen; Guajardo, Lino; Dawkins, Paul C.; Zolt, Holly; Lew, Kristen – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
In many advanced mathematics courses, comprehending theorems and proofs is an essential activity for both students and mathematicians. Such activity requires readers to draw on relevant meanings for the concepts involved; however, the ways that concept meaning may shape comprehension activity is currently undertheorized. In this paper, we share a…

Kather, Philipp; Duran, Rodrigo; Vahrenhold, Jan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Previous studies on writing and understanding programs presented evidence that programmers beyond a novice stage utilize plans or plan-like structures. Other studies on code composition showed that learners have difficulties with writing, reading, and debugging code where interacting plans are merged into a short piece of code. In this article, we…

Siu-Cheung Kong; Wei Shen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Logistic regression models have traditionally been used to identify the factors contributing to students' conceptual understanding. With the advancement of the machine learning-based research approach, there are reports that some machine learning algorithms outperform logistic regression models in terms of prediction. In this study, we collected…

Mike, Koby; Hazzan, Orit – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
Contribution: This article presents evidence that electrical engineering, computer science, and data science students, participating in introduction to machine learning (ML) courses, fail to interpret the performance of ML algorithms correctly, since they fail to consider the application domain. This phenomenon is referred to as the domain neglect…
