Phung, Tung; Cambronero, José; Gulwani, Sumit; Kohn, Tobias; Majumdarm, Rupak; Singla, Adish; Soares, Gustavo – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Large language models (LLMs), such as Codex, hold great promise in enhancing programming education by automatically generating feedback for students. We investigate using LLMs to generate feedback for fixing syntax errors in Python programs, a key scenario in introductory programming. More concretely, given a student's buggy program, our goal is…

Badrinath, Anirudhan; Wang, Frederic; Pardos, Zachary – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing, a model used for cognitive mastery estimation, has been a hallmark of adaptive learning research and an integral component of deployed intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). In this paper, we provide a brief history of knowledge tracing model research and introduce pyBKT, an accessible and computationally efficient library…

Vassoyan, Jean; Vie, Jill-Jênn – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Adaptive learning is an area of educational technology that consists in delivering personalized learning experiences to address the unique needs of each learner. An important subfield of adaptive learning is learning path personalization: it aims at designing systems that recommend sequences of educational activities to maximize students' learning…

Nongkhai, Lalita Na; Wang, Jingyun; Mendori, Takahiko – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
This paper proposes the design of an ontology of multiple programming languages and give three examples to show the methodology. Our ontology aims to summarize the core of computational thinking logic by elaborating the concepts of three object-oriented programming languages in the industry: Python, Java, and C#. Therefore, the construction of the…

Efremov, Aleksandr; Ghosh, Ahana; Singla, Adish – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Intelligent tutoring systems for programming education can support students by providing personalized feedback when a student is stuck in a coding task. We study the problem of designing a hint policy to provide a next-step hint to students from their current partial solution, e.g., which line of code should be edited next. The state of the art…

Kumar, Amruth N. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Is there a pattern in how students solve Parsons puzzles? Is there a difference between the puzzle-solving strategies of C++ and Java students? We used Markov transition matrix to answer these questions. We analyzed the solutions of introductory programming students solving Parsons puzzles involving if-else statements and while loops in C++ and…

Xu, Jia; Wei, Tingting; Lv, Pin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
In an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), problem (or question) difficulty is one of the most critical parameters, directly impacting problem design, test paper organization, result analysis, and even the fairness guarantee. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the problem difficulty by organized pre-tests or by expertise, because these…

Priti Oli; Rabin Banjade; Arun Balajiee Lekshmi Narayanan; Peter Brusilovsky; Vasile Rus – Grantee Submission, 2023
Self-efficacy, or the belief in one's ability to accomplish a task or achieve a goal, can significantly influence the effectiveness of various instructional methods to induce learning gains. The importance of self-efficacy is particularly pronounced in complex subjects like Computer Science, where students with high self-efficacy are more likely…

Singla, Adish; Theodoropoulos, Nikitas – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Block-based visual programming environments are increasingly used to introduce computing concepts to beginners. Given that programming tasks are open-ended and conceptual, novice students often struggle when learning in these environments. AI-driven programming tutors hold great promise in automatically assisting struggling students, and need…

Silvia García-Méndez; Francisco de Arriba-Pérez; Francisco J. González-Castaño – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2023
Mobile learning or mLearning has become an essential tool in many fields in this digital era, among the ones educational training deserves special attention, that is, applied to both basic and higher education towards active, flexible, effective high-quality and continuous learning. However, despite the advances in Natural Language Processing…

Cai, Zhiqiang; Hu, Xiangen; Graesser, Arthur C. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Conversational Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are expensive to develop. While simple online courseware could be easily authored by teachers, the authoring of conversational ITSs usually involves a team of experts with different expertise, including domain experts, linguists, instruction designers, programmers, artists, computer scientists,…

Orr, J. Walker; Russell, Nathaniel – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
The assessment of program functionality can generally be accomplished with straight-forward unit tests. However, assessing the design quality of a program is a much more difficult and nuanced problem. Design quality is an important consideration since it affects the readability and maintainability of programs. Assessing design quality and giving…

Paaßen, Benjamin; Jensen, Joris; Hammer, Barbara – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
The first intelligent tutoring systems for computer programming have been proposed more than 30 years ago, mostly focusing on well defined programming tasks e.g. in the context of logic programming. Recent systems also teach complex programs, where explicit modelling of every possible program and mistake is no longer possible. Such systems are…

Cai, Zhiqiang; Gong, Yan; Qiu, Qizhi; Hu, Xiangen; Graesser, Art – Grantee Submission, 2016
AutoTutor uses conversational intelligent agents in learning environments. One of the major challenges in developing AutoTutor applications is to assess students' natural language answers to AutoTutor questions. We investigated an AutoTutor dataset with 3358 student answers to 49 AutoTutor questions. In comparisons with human ratings, we found…

Broisin, Julien; Hérouard, Clément – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
How to support students in programming learning has been a great research challenge in the last years. To address this challenge, prior works have mainly focused on proposing solutions based on syntactic analysis to provide students with personalized feedback about their grammatical programming errors and misconceptions. However, syntactic…
