Jinnie Shin; Bowen Wang; Wallace N. Pinto Junior; Mark J. Gierl – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
The benefits of incorporating process information in a large-scale assessment with the complex micro-level evidence from the examinees (i.e., process log data) are well documented in the research across large-scale assessments and learning analytics. This study introduces a deep-learning-based approach to predictive modeling of the examinee's…

Fujita, Taro; Doney, Jonathan; Flanagan, Ruth; Wegerif, Rupert – Education 3-13, 2021
This paper reports on a study of collaborative group work in mathematics. Although collaborative group work is known as one of the important approaches in education, it is still uncertain how group thinking can be measured in various learning contexts. We used the Group Thinking Measure (GTM) test developed by [Wegerif, R., T. Fujita, J. Doney, J.…

Cocea, Mihaela; Magoulas, George D. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Exploratory learning environments (ELEs) promote a view of learning that encourages students to construct and/or explore models and observe the effects of modifying their parameters. The freedom given to learners in this exploration context leads to a variety of learner approaches for constructing models and makes modelling of learner behavior a…

Staats, Susan; Robertson, Douglas – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2014
Over the last decade, the pedagogical approach known as mathematical modeling has received increased interest in college algebra classes in the United States. Math modeling assignments ask students to develop their own problem-solving tools to address non-routine, realistic scenarios. The open-ended quality of modeling activities creates dilemmas…

Farrington-Flint, Lee; Stash, Amanda; Stiller, James – Educational Psychology, 2008
This study examined the role of variability and change in children's strategy performance within the context of spelling. The spelling ability of 34 eight- to nine-year-olds was examined using an experimental spelling task comprising 45 items, which varied with regard to rime unit frequency. The spelling task incorporated a series of consistent,…
