Connectionist MOOC (cMOOC) is a type of MOOC, which can provide an online learning space for learners to sustainable connect. This study analyzed the learning behavior and motivation of repeat learners in the cMOOC "Internet + Education: a dialogue between theory and practice" to study the repeat learning needs and characteristics of…

Objectives: Java is a popular programming language for use in computing education, but it is difficult to get a wide picture of the issues that it presents for novices; most studies look only at the types or frequency of errors. In this observational study, we aim to learn how novices use different features of the Java language. Participants:…

Heritage language (HL) bilinguals' writing skills has been a topic of inquiry in the field of HL education. However, little is still known about HL writers' writing processes and the contribution of individual differences to these processes remains unexplored. By integrating keystroke-logging and think-aloud methodologies, this study examined 61…

Introduction: Despite the necessity for adults with lower literacy skills to undergo and succeed in high-stakes computer-administered assessments (e.g., GED, HiSET), there remains a gap in understanding their engagement with digital literacy assessments. Methods: This study analyzed process data, specifically time allocation data, from the Program…

Background: A priori assumptions about specific behavior in test items can be used to process log data in a rule-based fashion to identify the behavior of interest. In this study, we demonstrate such a top-down approach and created a process indicator to represent what type of information processing (flimsy, breadth-first, satisficing, sampling,…

Technology, while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness, also poses significant cyber threats and risks. Overcoming these challenges necessitates individuals to have high levels of cybersecurity awareness and to exhibit proper cybersecurity behaviors. Correspondingly, in recent years, the exploration of individual factors influencing…

While the impact of behavioural and cognitive processes on online information searching behaviours have been studied in some depth, little is known about the impact of procedural and metacognitive processes on online information searching behaviours. In addition, although the literature contains studies examining online information searching…

Online learning systems allow learners to freely access learning contents and record their interactions throughout their engagement with the content. By using data mining techniques on the student log data of those systems, it is possible to examine learning behavior and reveal navigation patterns through learning contents. This study was aimed at…

Within digitally-supported learning environments, learners need to observe themselves so that they can reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and take a step toward autonomous learning. Within the scope of this research, a technology and analytics enhanced assessment environment in which students can assess themselves was implemented and…
