Zhou, Yiqiu; Kang, Jina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
The complex and dynamic nature of collaboration makes it challenging to find indicators of productive learning and quality collaboration. This exploratory study developed a collaboration metric to capture temporal patterns of joint attention (JA) based on log files generated as students interacted with an immersive astronomy simulation using…

Hoernle, Nicholas; Gal, Kobi; Grosz, Barbara; Protopapas, Pavlos; Rubin, Andee – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Simulations that combine real world components with interactive digital media provide a rich setting for students with the potential to assist knowledge building and understanding of complex physical processes. This paper addresses the problem of modeling the effects of multiple students' simultaneous interactions on the complex and exploratory…

Karimi, Hamid; Derr, Tyler; Huang, Jiangtao; Tang, Jiliang – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Online learning has attracted a large number of participants and is increasingly becoming very popular. However, the completion rates for online learning are notoriously low. Further, unlike traditional education systems, teachers, if any, are unable to comprehensively evaluate the learning gain of each student through the online learning…

Capelo, Carlos; Lorga, Ana – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
Simulation-based learning environments are used extensively to support learning on complex business systems. Nevertheless, there exist studies that identify problems and limitations due to cognitive processing difficulties. Particularly, previous research addressed some aspects of model transparency and instructional strategy and produced…

Chen, Binglin; West, Matthew; Ziles, Craig – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
This paper attempts to quantify the accuracy limit of "nextitem-correct" prediction by using numerical optimization to estimate the student's probability of getting each question correct given a complete sequence of item responses. This optimization is performed without an explicit parameterized model of student behavior, but with the…

Miwa, Kazuhisa; Kojima, Kazuaki; Terai, Hitoshi – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
Tutoring systems provide students with various types of on-demand and context-sensitive hints. Students are required to consciously adapt their help-seeking behavior, proactively seek help in some situations, and solve problems independently without supports in other situations. We define the latter behavior as stoic behavior in hint seeking. In…

Bryan, Jon L.; Thuemmel, William L. – 1996
A study analyzed student delays in flight certification at 106 University Aviation Association (UAA) member postsecondary institutions. After a pilot survey of 5 institutions, questionnaires were mailed to the 101 remaining UAA administrators; 80 responses were returned. Correlations of items in the survey were analyzed and significant…

Roston, John – 1994
The ability to successfully conduct specialized conversations in stressful situations is an essential part of professional competence in a number of subject areas; however, there are few opportunities for students to practice the required skills in a realistic environment. The McGill Negotiation Simulator project was established to investigate the…

Wang, Kuo-Hua – 1994
The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a HyperCard simulation upon student's concepts, opinions, and option-rankings on solid waste management, and to investigate what cognitive activities of the students were involved in the decision-making processes. One hundred eighth-grade students in Taiwan participated in this…

Holmes, Glen A. – 1997
Effective classroom simulations can provide opportunities for end-users to analyze human teaching and learning behaviors and can also help prepare teachers for real-world experiences. This paper proposes a simulation project based on an aggregation of ideas associated with knowledge-based simulations, behavior observations, visualization, and the…

Okey, James R.; Oliver, Ronald G. – 1987
This study investigated the types of tactics and strategies students used in working with computer simulations and examined if the skills acquired when using the computer simulation could be applied in other settings. Sixth grade students (N=50) from three different schools participated in the study and were observed over a period of six weeks.…

Fitzgerald, Gail E.; Nichols, Polly J.; Semrau, Louis P. – 1998
This paper describes an alternative delivery approach for training personnel in observation skills using interactive multimedia technology. The "Classroom Behavior Record (CBR) Observation Training Program," includes three videodiscs that contain video and audio scenes of children in classrooms/playgroups and instructional narrations.…
