Miguel Eduardo Uribe-Moreno; Iván Felipe Medina-Arboleda; Alfredo Guzmán-Rincón; Suelen Emilia Castiblanco-Moreno – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Grit, the passion for achieving long-term goals, has been conceived as a two-dimensional construct (Consistency of interest and Perseverance of effort). The construct is well known for its easy measurement and its relationship with performance, including academic performance. However, there have been different criticisms, such as the overlap of…

Onoue, Akira; Shimada, Atsushi; Minematsu, Tsubasa; Taniguchi, Rin-Ichiro – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
This study aimed to cluster learners based on the structures of the knowledge maps they created. Learners drew their own knowledge maps to reflect their learning activities. Our system collected individual knowledge maps from many learners and clustered them to generate an integrated version of the knowledge maps of each cluster. We applied the…

Eakins, Amanda; Eakins, Sheldon L., Sr. – Journal of Learning in Higher Education, 2017
Recently the US have seen a movement of African American students demonstrating dissatisfaction with their treatment and presence at predominantly white institutions. Some of the common discrepancies from the students' perspectives have included the lack of student and faculty representation of color on these campuses. The model of cohort…

J. S. Hardin; G. Sarkis; P. . URC – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
We use the Enron email corpus to study relationships in a network by applying six different measures of centrality. Our results came out of an in-semester undergraduate research seminar. The Enron corpus is well suited to statistical analyses at all levels of undergraduate education. Through this article's focus on centrality, students can explore…

Riofrio-Luzcando, Diego; Ramirez, Jaime; Berrocal-Lobo, Marta – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Data mining is known to have a potential for predicting user performance. However, there are few studies that explore its potential for predicting student behavior in a procedural training environment. This paper presents a collective student model, which is built from past student logs. These logs are first grouped into clusters. Then, an…

Salomon-Fernandez, Yves – New England Journal of Higher Education, 2014
The Massachusetts community college system is entering a second year with funding for each of its 15 schools determined using a new performance-based formula. Under the new model, 50% of each college's allocation is based on performance on metrics related to enrollment and student success, with added incentives for "at-risk" students…

Meyer, Katrina A.; Murrell, Vicki S. – Online Learning, 2014
This article presents the results of a national study of 39 higher education institutions that collected information about their evaluation procedures and outcome measures for faculty development for online teaching conducted during 2011-2012. The survey results found that over 90% of institutions used measures of the faculty person's…

Yob, Iris M.; Crawford, Linda – Higher Learning Research Communications, 2012
In the research and professional literature, there are at least four lines of inquiry around mentoring: perceptions of successful mentoring in general, mentoring of doctoral dissertations in particular, mentoring specific to the online environment, and relative importance of mentoring behaviors. In each case, particular qualities that make for…

Rudner, Lawrence M.; Guo, Fanmin – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2011
This study investigates measurement decision theory (MDT) as an underlying model for computer adaptive testing when the goal is to classify examinees into one of a finite number of groups. The first analysis compares MDT with a popular item response theory model and finds little difference in terms of the percentage of correct classifications. The…

Brannon, Sian – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2014
Fieldwork exists as a component of many library schools' curricula. Site supervisors, students, and the schools themselves all play a role. A final part of most fieldwork experiences involves the use of an evaluation form filled out by a site supervisor about the student. In this study, forty seven evaluation forms were collected and analyzed…

Wolstenholme, Janet Z-K.; Evers, Fred – Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, 2009
"Transition from school to work" courses are an excellent way to help fourth-year university students as they complete their studies and prepare for the world of work. In this paper we present "The Bases of Competence" (Evers, Rush, & Berdrow, 1998), a model of the advanced skills used by university graduates in the…

Raths, David – Campus Technology, 2010
In the tug-of-war between researchers and IT for supercomputing resources, a centralized approach can help both sides get more bang for their buck. As 2010 began, the University of Washington was preparing to launch its first shared high-performance computing cluster, a 1,500-node system called Hyak, dedicated to research activities. Like other…

Amershi, Saleema; Conati, Cristina – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2009
In this paper, we present a data-based user modeling framework that uses both unsupervised and supervised classification to build student models for exploratory learning environments. We apply the framework to build student models for two different learning environments and using two different data sources (logged interface and eye-tracking data).…

Coirier, Pierre; Favart, Monik; Chanquoy, Lucile – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2002
The goal of this study was to analyze the development of the relationship between conceptual and linguistic processes as regards idea ordering and structuring (linearizing), when composing a text. Participants (from 7th graders to University students) were required to compose a text using a list of eleven scrambled ideas. Conceptual rules allow to…
