Marwan, Samiha; Shi, Yang; Menezes, Ian; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas W. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Feedback on how students progress through completing subgoals can improve students' learning and motivation in programming. Detecting subgoal completion is a challenging task, and most learning environments do so either with "expert-authored" models or with "data-driven" models. Both models have advantages that are…

Lohrer, Johannes-Y.; Kaltenthaler, Daniel; Kröger, Peer – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
In this paper, we describe a framework for data analysis that can be embedded into a base application. Since it is important to analyze the data directly inside the application where the data is entered, a tool that allows the scientists to easily work with their data, supports and motivates the execution of further analysis of their data, which…

Novice Elementary Teachers' Instructional Practices: Opportunities for Problem-Solving and Discourse
Lee, Carrie W.; Walkowiak, Temple A. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the mathematics instructional practices of 75 second-year elementary teachers (K-5) in terms of the learning opportunities provided to their students. On average, each teacher completed instructional logs for 43 days across the school year. Select items were analyzed in order to better understand the…

Koedinger, Kenneth R.; McLaughlin, Elizabeth A. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Many educational data mining studies have explored methods for discovering cognitive models and have emphasized improving prediction accuracy. Too few studies have "closed the loop" by applying discovered models toward improving instruction and testing whether proposed improvements achieve higher student outcomes. We claim that such…

Yeung, Cheuk Yu; Shum, Kam Hong; Hui, Lucas Chi Kwong; Chu, Samuel Kai Wah; Chan, Tsing Yun; Kuo, Yung Nin; Ng, Yee Ling – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2017
Attributes of teaching and learning contexts provide rich information about how students participate in learning activities. By tracking and analyzing snapshots of these attributes captured continuously throughout the duration of the learning activities, teachers can identify individual students who need special attention and apply different…

Shute, Valerie J.; Moore, Gregory R.; Wang, Lubin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
We are using stealth assessment, embedded in "Plants vs. Zombies 2," to measure middle-school students' problem solving skills. This project started by developing a problem solving competency model based on a thorough review of the literature. Next, we identified relevant in-game indicators that would provide evidence about students'…

Rihák, Jirí – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
In this work we introduce the system for adaptive practice of foundations of mathematics. Adaptivity of the system is primarily provided by selection of suitable tasks, which uses information from a domain model and a student model. The domain model does not use prerequisites but works with splitting skills to more concrete sub-skills. The student…

Nowacki, Amy S. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
Statistics courses that focus on data analysis in isolation, discounting the scientific inquiry process, may not motivate students to learn the subject. By involving students in other steps of the inquiry process, such as generating hypotheses and data, students may become more interested and vested in the analysis step. Additionally, such an…

Ye, Cheng; Segedy, James R.; Kinnebrew, John S.; Biswas, Gautam – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
This paper discusses Multi-Feature Hierarchical Sequential Pattern Mining, MFH-SPAM, a novel algorithm that efficiently extracts patterns from students' learning activity sequences. This algorithm extends an existing sequential pattern mining algorithm by dynamically selecting the level of specificity for hierarchically-defined features…

Doroudi, Shayan; Holstein, Kenneth; Aleven, Vincent; Brunskill, Emma – Grantee Submission, 2016
How should a wide variety of educational activities be sequenced to maximize student learning? Although some experimental studies have addressed this question, educational data mining methods may be able to evaluate a wider range of possibilities and better handle many simultaneous sequencing constraints. We introduce Sequencing Constraint…

Wang, Yutao; Heffernan, Neil T.; Heffernan, Cristina – Grantee Submission, 2015
The well-studied Baker et al., affect detectors on boredom, frustration, confusion and engagement concentration with ASSISTments dataset were used to predict state tests scores, college enrollment, and even whether a student majored in a STEM field. In this paper, we present three attempts to improve upon current affect detectors. The first…

Olsen, Jennifer K.; Aleven, Vincent; Rummel, Nikol – Grantee Submission, 2015
Student models for adaptive systems may not model collaborative learning optimally. Past research has either focused on modeling individual learning or for collaboration, has focused on group dynamics or group processes without predicting learning. In the current paper, we adjust the Additive Factors Model (AFM), a standard logistic regression…

Research into virtual role-based learning has progressed over the past decade. Modern issues include gauging the difficulty of designing a goal system capable of meeting the requirements of students with different knowledge levels, and the reasonability and possibility of taking advantage of the well-designed formula and techniques served in other…

Toh, Tin Lam; Leong, Yew Hoong; Dindyal, Jaguthsing; Quek, Khiok Seng – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
In this symposium, the participants discuss some preliminary data collected from their problem solving project which uses a design experiment approach. Their approach to problem solving in the school curriculum is in tandem with what Schoenfeld (2007) claimed: "Crafting instruction that would make a wide range of problem-solving strategies…
