Reddick, Rachel – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
One significant challenge in the field of measuring ability is measuring the current ability of a learner while they are learning. Many forms of inference become computationally complex in the presence of time-dependent learner ability, and are not feasible to implement in an online context. In this paper, we demonstrate an approach which can…

Cheeseman, Jill; Clarke, Doug; Roche, Anne; Wilson, Karen – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
The findings discussed here are a small part of a larger study entitled, "Encouraging Persistence Maintaining Challenge". The paper reports five teachers' observations of the implementation of a task which was new to them. The teachers were asked to identify aspects of the task which they perceived as challenging for the Year 6 students.…

Barker-Plummer, Dave; Cox, Richard; Dale, Robert – International Working Group on Educational Data Mining, 2009
In this paper, we present a study of a large corpus of student logic exercises in which we explore the relationship between two distinct measures of difficulty: the proportion of students whose initial attempt at a given natural language to first-order logic translation is incorrect, and the average number of attempts that are required in order to…
