Collaborative dialogue is rich in conscious and subconscious coordination behaviours between participants. This work explores collaborative learner dialogue through theories of alignment, analysing inter-partner movement and language use with respect to our hypotheses: that they interrelate, and that they form predictors of collaboration quality…

Direct linkNicula, Bogdan; Dascalu, Mihai; Newton, Natalie; Orcutt, Ellen; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
The ability to automatically assess the quality of paraphrases can be very useful for facilitating literacy skills and providing timely feedback to learners. Our aim is twofold: a) to automatically evaluate the quality of paraphrases across four dimensions: lexical similarity, syntactic similarity, semantic similarity and paraphrase quality, and…

Huang, Eddie; Valdiviejas, Hannah; Bosch, Nigel – Grantee Submission, 2019
Metacognition is a valuable tool for learning, since it is closely related to self-regulation and awareness of one's own affect. However, methods for automatically detecting and studying metacognition are scarce. Thus, in this paper we describe an algorithm for automatic detection of metacognitive language in writing. We analyzed text from the…

Allen, Laura K.; Mills, Caitlin; Perret, Cecile; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study examines the extent to which instructions to self-explain vs. "other"-explain a text lead readers to produce different forms of explanations. Natural language processing was used to examine the content and characteristics of the explanations produced as a function of instruction condition. Undergraduate students (n = 146)…

Allen, Laura K.; Likens, Aaron D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2017
The current study examined the degree to which the quality and characteristics of students' essays could be modeled through dynamic natural language processing analyses. Undergraduate students (n = 131) wrote timed, persuasive essays in response to an argumentative writing prompt. Recurrent patterns of the words in the essays were then analyzed…

Crossley, Scott; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Labrum, Matthew; Bradfield, Franklin; Dascalu, Mihai; Baker, Ryan S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
A number of studies have demonstrated strong links between students' language features (as found in spoken and written production) and their math performance. However, no studies have examined links between the students' language features and measures of their Math Identity. This project extends prior studies that use natural language processing…
