Gobert, Janice D.; Kim, Yoon Jeon; Sao Pedro, Michael; Kennedy, Michael; Betts, Cameron – Grantee Submission, 2015
Many national policy documents underscore the importance of 21st century skills, including critical thinking. In parallel, recent American frameworks for K-12 Science education call for the development of critical thinking skills in science, also referred to as science inquiry skills/practices. Assessment of these skills is necessary, as indicated…

Sao Pedro, Michael A.; Baker, Ryan S. J. d.; Gobert, Janice D.; Montalvo, Orlando; Nakama, Adam – Grantee Submission, 2013
We present work toward automatically assessing and estimating science inquiry skills as middle school students engage in inquiry within a physical science microworld. Towards accomplishing this goal, we generated machine-learned models that can detect when students test their articulated hypotheses, design controlled experiments, and engage in…

Hershkovitz, Arnon; Baker, Ryan S. J. d.; Gobert, Janice; Wixon, Michael; Sao Pedro, Michael – Grantee Submission, 2013
In recent years, an increasing number of analyses in Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining (EDM) have adopted a "Discovery with Models" approach, where an existing model is used as a key component in a new EDM/analytics analysis. This article presents a theoretical discussion on the emergence of discovery with models, its…

Sullivan, Florence R. – Educational Technology & Society, 2011
This paper presents the results of a micro-genetic analysis of the development of a creative solution arrived at by students working collaboratively to solve a robotics problem in a sixth grade science classroom. Results indicate that four aspects of the enacted curriculum proved important to developing the creative solution, including the…

Gobert, Janice D.; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
The National frameworks for science emphasize inquiry skills (NRC, 1996), however, in typical classroom practice, science learning often focuses on rote learning in part because science process skills are difficult to assess (Fadel, Honey, & Pasnick, 2007) and rote knowledge is prioritized on high-stakes tests. Short answer assessments of…
