Chia-Ju Lin; Wei-Sheng Wang; Hsin-Yu Lee; Yueh-Min Huang; Ting-Ting Wu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study uses a quasi-experimental design to explore the role of natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition technologies in supporting teacher interventions during collaborative STEM activities. The Speech Recognition Keywords Analysis System (SRKAS) was developed to extract keywords from student discussions, enabling real-time…

Priti Oli; Rabin Banjade; Jeevan Chapagain; Vasile Rus – Grantee Submission, 2023
This paper systematically explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) generate explanations of code examples of the type used in intro-to-programming courses. As we show, the nature of code explanations generated by LLMs varies considerably based on the wording of the prompt, the target code examples being explained, the programming language, the…

Andrew Potter; Mitchell Shortt; Maria Goldshtein; Rod D. Roscoe – Grantee Submission, 2025
Broadly defined, academic language (AL) is a set of lexical-grammatical norms and registers commonly used in educational and academic discourse. Mastery of academic language in writing is an important aspect of writing instruction and assessment. The purpose of this study was to use Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to examine the extent to…

Yi Gui – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study explores using transfer learning in machine learning for natural language processing (NLP) to create generic automated essay scoring (AES) models, providing instant online scoring for statewide writing assessments in K-12 education. The goal is to develop an instant online scorer that is generalizable to any prompt, addressing the…

Sonia, Allison N.; Joseph, Magliano P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura K. – Grantee Submission, 2022
The constructed responses individuals generate while reading can provide insights into their coherence-building processes. The current study examined how the cohesion of constructed responses relates to performance on an integrated writing task. Participants (N = 95) completed a multiple document reading task wherein they were prompted to think…

Sonia, Allison N.; Magliano, Joseph P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura, K. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The constructed responses individuals generate while reading can provide insights into their coherence-building processes. The current study examined how the cohesion of constructed responses relates to performance on an integrated writing task. Participants (N = 95) completed a multiple document reading task wherein they were prompted to think…

Sullivan, Florence R.; Keith, P. Kevin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
In this study, we explore the potential of a natural language processing (NLP) approach to support discourse analysis of in-situ, small group learning conversations. The theoretical basis of this work derives from Bakhtin's notion of speech genres as bounded by educational robotics activity. Our goal is to leverage computational linguistics…

Michelle P. Banawan; Jinnie Shin; Tracy Arner; Renu Balyan; Walter L. Leite; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2023
Academic discourse communities and learning circles are characterized by collaboration, sharing commonalities in terms of social interactions and language. The discourse of these communities is composed of jargon, common terminologies, and similarities in how they construe and communicate meaning. This study examines the extent to which discourse…

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…

Crossley, Scott A.; Roscoe, Rod; McNamara, Danielle S. – Written Communication, 2014
This study identifies multiple profiles of successful essays via a cluster analysis approach using linguistic features reported by a variety of natural language processing tools. The findings from the study indicate that there are four profiles of successful writers for the samples analyzed. These four profiles are linguistically distinct from one…

Harbusch, Karin; Cameran, Christel-Joy; Härtel, Johannes – Research-publishing.net, 2014
We present a new feedback strategy implemented in a natural language generation-based e-learning system for German as a second language (L2). Although the system recognizes a large proportion of the grammar errors in learner-produced written sentences, its automatically generated feedback only addresses errors against rules that are relevant at…

Minichino, Mario; Berson, Michael J. – SRATE Journal, 2012
This article is an exploration of the available applications for speech to speech real-time translation software for use in the classroom. Three different types of machine language translation (MLT) software and devices are reviewed for their features and practical application in secondary education classrooms.

Wang, Hao-Chuan; Chang, Chun-Yen; Li, Tsai-Yen – Computers & Education, 2008
The work aims to improve the assessment of creative problem-solving in science education by employing language technologies and computational-statistical machine learning methods to grade students' natural language responses automatically. To evaluate constructs like creative problem-solving with validity, open-ended questions that elicit…

Braun, Sabine – ReCALL, 2007
This paper reports on an empirical case study conducted to investigate the overall conditions and challenges of integrating corpus materials and corpus-based learning activities into English-language classes at a secondary school in Germany. Starting from the observation that in spite of the large amount of research into corpus-based language…
