Tsabari, Stav; Segal, Avi; Gal, Kobi – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Automatically identifying struggling students learning to program can assist teachers in providing timely and focused help. This work presents a new deep-learning language model for predicting "bug-fix-time", the expected duration between when a software bug occurs and the time it will be fixed by the student. Such information can guide…

Xu, Jia; Wei, Tingting; Lv, Pin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
In an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), problem (or question) difficulty is one of the most critical parameters, directly impacting problem design, test paper organization, result analysis, and even the fairness guarantee. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the problem difficulty by organized pre-tests or by expertise, because these…

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…
