Lee, Morgan P.; Croteau, Ethan; Gurung, Ashish; Botelho, Anthony F.; Heffernan, Neil T. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
The use of Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) models in predicting student learning and mastery, especially in mathematics, is a well-established and proven approach in learning analytics. In this work, we report on our analysis examining the generalizability of BKT models across academic years attributed to "detector rot." We compare the…

Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Cosyn, Eric; Uzun, Hasan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
As outlined by Benjamin Bloom, students working within a mastery learning framework must demonstrate mastery of the core prerequisite material before learning any subsequent material. Since many learning systems in use today adhere to these principles, an important component of such systems is the set of rules or algorithms that determine when a…

Way, Jennifer; Reece, Amelia; Bobis, Janette; Anderson, Judy; Martin, Andrew – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
The phenomenon of the "middle-years dip" in mathematics engagement and achievement has been a cause of concern for over a decade. This paper presents an example of one upper-primary classroom identified as having higher than average levels of student engagement, with the purpose of documenting specific teaching strategies that align with…

Jennings, Kay D.; Martin, Patricia Peters – 1979
This study examines the longitudinal relationships between mastery motivation and differentiated measures of intellectual development assessed at 1 and 3 1/2 years of age in a sample of 35 children (21 boys and 14 girls). At one year three types of mastery motivation were assessed using structured tasks: (1) producing effects (engaging in…

Thames, Dana; Kazelskis, Richard; Kazelskis, Carolyn Reeves – Online Submission, 2006
The purpose of this longitudinal study was to explore the impact of a direct reading instruction program, "Reading Mastery (RM)," on literacy performance of students over a five-year period. Initially, 700 students in grades K-3 were randomly selected from six elementary schools to participate in the study; an additional 100…

Bronson, Martha B. – 1991
A collaborative day care and public school kindergarten intervention program for children in several public housing projects in Boston was evaluated by means of the Bronson Social and Task Skill Profile, a classroom observation instrument. This instrument has categories that measure behaviors related to competence in carrying out social…
