Despite simulation games (SGs) being a novel pedagogical tool that can soundly represent real environments to enhance students' learning outcomes, knowledge, and skills, there is still a lack of an overview of the current theoretical understanding of using simulation games as a pedagogical method to develop K-12 learning outcomes. Taking an…

This paper demonstrated how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. Using a data-driven approach, we examined 1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance (i.e. posttest math knowledge scores) prediction and 2)…
