Ji-Eun Lee; Aravind Stalin; Vy Ngo; Katharine Drzewiecki; Cindy Trac; Erin Ottmar – Grantee Submission, 2021
We apply an advanced data visualization technique, "Sankey diagram," to explore how middle-school students (N = 343) solved problems in a game-based algebraic notation tool. The results indicate that there is a large variation in the types of students' strategies to solve the problems, with some approaches being more efficient than…
