Dave, Neisarg; Bakes, Riley; Pursel, Barton; Giles, C. Lee – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
We investigate encoder-decoder GRU networks with attention mechanism for solving a diverse array of elementary math problems with mathematical symbolic structures. We quantitatively measure performances of recurrent models on a given question type using a test set of unseen problems with a binary scoring and partial credit system. From our…

Diana Owen; Alissa Irion-Groth – Grantee Submission, 2024
This study examines the effectiveness of the Center for Civic Education's Project Citizen teacher professional development program and curriculum intervention in producing positive student learning outcomes that support civic engagement. Through Project Citizen, students identify and research a problem in their community, explore solutions,…

Malik, Ali; Wu, Mike; Vasavada, Vrinda; Song, Jinpeng; Coots, Madison; Mitchell, John; Goodman, Noah; Piech, Chris – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Access to high-quality education at scale is limited by the difficulty of providing student feedback on open-ended assignments in structured domains like programming, graphics, and short response questions. This problem has proven to be exceptionally difficult: for humans, it requires large amounts of manual work, and for computers, until…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

Zhang, Qiao; Maclellan, Christopher J. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to keep track of students' learning process. While knowledge tracing models have been extensively studied in offline settings, very little work has explored their use in online settings. This is primarily because conducting experiments to evaluate and select knowledge…

Prodromou, Theodosia; Kynigos, Chronis – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This study focuses on pre-service teachers' experimentation with a game-modding process in a constructionist setting whilst they experimented with randomness embedded in wider socio-scientific issues that call for decision making under uncertainty. In this process, participants created 39 different game mods. Our observations of the participants…

Zwanch, Karen – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
Probability and independence are difficult concepts, as they require the coordination of multiple ideas. This qualitative research study used clinical interviews to understand how three undergraduate students conceptualize probability and probabilistic independence within the theoretical framework of APOS theory. One student's reasoning was…

Stevenson, Dean L.; Beckmann, Sybilla; Johnson, Sheri E.; Kang, Rui – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2018
We have extended two perspectives of proportional reasoning to solve problems based in probability. Four future middle grade teachers were enrolled in a mathematics content course that emphasized reasoning about multiplication with quantities. The course expected future teachers to generate and explain methods for solving proportions. Probability…

Chen, Binglin; West, Matthew; Ziles, Craig – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
This paper attempts to quantify the accuracy limit of "nextitem-correct" prediction by using numerical optimization to estimate the student's probability of getting each question correct given a complete sequence of item responses. This optimization is performed without an explicit parameterized model of student behavior, but with the…

Eagle, Michael; Barnes, Tiffany – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Interactive problem solving environments, such as intelligent tutoring systems and educational video games, produce large amounts of transactional data which make it a challenge for both researchers and educators to understand how students work within the environment. Researchers have modeled the student-tutor interactions using complex network…

Guiu, Jordi Maja – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
In this paper different type of mathematical explanations are presented in relation to the mathematical problem of probabilities Monty Hall (card version) and the computational tool Latent Semantic Analyses (LSA) is used. At the moment the results in the literature about this computational tool to study texts show that this technique is…

Kinnear, Virginia; Clark, Julie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
This paper reports findings from a classroom based study with 5 year old children in their first term of school. A data modelling activity contextualised by a picture story book was used to present a prediction problem. A data table with numerical data values provided for three consecutive days of rubbish collection was provided, with a fourth day…

Sudol, Leigh Ann; Rivers, Kelly; Harris, Thomas K. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2012
In complex problem solving domains, correct solutions are often comprised of a combination of individual components. Students usually go through several attempts, each attempt reflecting an individual solution state that can be observed during practice. Classic metrics to measure student performance over time rely on counting the number of…

Clinton, Virginia; Alibali, Martha W.; Nathan, Mitchell J. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
This study examined the effectiveness of two methods of increasing student learning from posterior probability lessons: diagrams and questioning while reading. Undergraduate students (N = 245) read a lesson in one of three diagram conditions and one of three questioning-while-reading conditions (embedded questions, elaboration interrogations, and…

Goldin, Ilya M.; Koedinger, Kenneth R.; Aleven, Vincent – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2012
Although ITSs are supposed to adapt to differences among learners, so far, little attention has been paid to how they might adapt to differences in how students learn from help. When students study with an Intelligent Tutoring System, they may receive multiple types of help, but may not comprehend and make use of this help in the same way. To…
