Nguyen, Huy; Wang, Yeyu; Stamper, John; McLaren, Bruce M. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Knowledge components (KCs) define the underlying skill model of intelligent educational software, and they are critical to understanding and improving the efficacy of learning technology. In this research, we show how learning curve analysis is used to fit a KC model--one that was created after use of the learning technology--which can then be…

Liu, Ran; Davenport, Jodi; Stamper, John – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
The increasing use of educational technologies in classrooms is producing vast amounts of process data that capture rich information about learning as it unfolds. The field of educational data mining has made great progress in using log data to build models that improve instruction and advance the science of learning. Thus far, however, the…

Al-Diban, Sabine; Ifenthaler, Dirk – Educational Technology & Society, 2011
Mental models are basic cognitive constructs that are central for understanding phenomena of the world and predicting future events. Our comparison of two analysis approaches, SMD and QFCA, for measuring externalized mental models reveals different levels of abstraction and different perspectives. The advantages of the SMD include possibilities…

Haberman, Bruria – Computer Science Education, 2004
Recursion is a central concept in computer science, yet it is difficult for beginners to comprehend. Israeli high-school students learn recursion in the framework of a special modular program in computer science (Gal-Ezer & Harel, 1999). Some of them are introduced to the concept of recursion in two different paradigms: the procedural…
