Hoq, Muntasir; Brusilovsky, Peter; Akram, Bita – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Prediction of student performance in introductory programming courses can assist struggling students and improve their persistence. On the other hand, it is important for the prediction to be transparent for the instructor and students to effectively utilize the results of this prediction. Explainable Machine Learning models can effectively help…

Gabbay, Hagit; Cohen, Anat – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
The challenge of learning programming in a MOOC is twofold: acquiring programming skills and learning online, independently. Automated testing and feedback systems, often offered in programming courses, may scaffold MOOC learners by providing immediate feedback and unlimited re-submissions of code assignments. However, research still lacks…

Dong, Yihuan; Marwan, Samiha; Shabrina, Preya; Price, Thomas; Barnes, Tiffany – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Over the years, researchers have studied novice programming behaviors when doing assignments and projects to identify struggling students. Much of these efforts focused on using student programming and interaction features to predict student success at a course level. While these methods are effective at early detection of struggling students in…

Picones, Gio; PaaBen, Benjamin; Koprinska, Irena; Yacef, Kalina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to combine domain modelling and student modelling techniques in a single, automated pipeline which does not require expert knowledge and can be used to predict future student performance. Domain modelling techniques map questions to concepts and student modelling techniques generate a mastery score for a…

Sahebi, Shaghayegh; Lin, Yu-Ru; Brusilovsky, Peter – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
We propose a novel tensor factorization approach, Feedback-Driven Tensor Factorization (FDTF), for modeling student learning process and predicting student performance. This approach decomposes a tensor that is built upon students' attempt sequence, while considering the quizzes students select to work with as its feedback. FDTF does not require…

Mao, Ye; Zhi, Rui; Khoshnevisan, Farzaneh; Price, Thomas W.; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Early prediction of student difficulty during long-duration learning activities allows a tutoring system to intervene by providing needed support, such as a hint, or by alerting an instructor. To be effective, these predictions must come early and be highly accurate, but such predictions are difficult for open-ended programming problems. In this…

Reilly, Joseph M.; Schneider, Bertrand – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Collaborative problem solving in computer-supported environments is of critical importance to the modern workforce. Coworkers or collaborators must be able to co-create and navigate a shared problem space using discourse and non-verbal cues. Analyzing this discourse can give insights into how consensus is reached and can estimate the depth of…

McBroom, Jessica; Jeffries, Bryn; Koprinska, Irena; Yacef, Kalina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Effective mining of data from online submission systems offers the potential to improve educational outcomes by identifying student habits and behaviours and their relationship with levels of achievement. In particular, it may assist in identifying students at risk of performing poorly, allowing for early intervention. In this paper we investigate…

Sharma, Kshitij; Jermann, Patrick; Dillenbourg, Pierre – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Current schemes to categorise MOOC students result from a single view on the population which either contains the engagement of the students or demographics or self reported motivation. We propose a new hierarchical student categorisation, which uses common online activities capturing both engagement and achievement of MOOC students. A first level…

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…

Lynch, Collin F., Ed.; Merceron, Agathe, Ed.; Desmarais, Michel, Ed.; Nkambou, Roger, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The 12th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2019) is organized under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society in Montreal, Canada. The theme of this year's conference is EDM in Open-Ended Domains. As EDM has matured it has increasingly been applied to open-ended and ill-defined tasks…
