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…

Jia, Qinjin; Young, Mitchell; Xiao, Yunkai; Cui, Jialin; Liu, Chengyuan; Rashid, Parvez; Gehringer, Edward – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Providing timely feedback is crucial in promoting academic achievement and student success. However, for multifarious reasons (e.g., limited teaching resources), feedback often arrives too late for learners to act on the feedback and improve learning. Thus, automated feedback systems have emerged to tackle educational tasks in various domains,…

Švábenský, Valdemar; Baker, Ryan S.; Zambrano, Andrés; Zou, Yishan; Slater, Stefan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Students who take an online course, such as a MOOC, use the course's discussion forum to ask questions or reach out to instructors when encountering an issue. However, reading and responding to students' questions is difficult to scale because of the time needed to consider each message. As a result, critical issues may be left unresolved, and…

Mao, Ye; Shi, Yang; Marwan, Samiha; Price, Thomas W.; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
As students learn how to program, both their programming code and their understanding of it evolves over time. In this work, we present a general data-driven approach, named "Temporal-ASTNN" for modeling student learning progression in open-ended programming domains. Temporal-ASTNN combines a novel neural network model based on abstract…

Akpinar, Nil-Jana; Ramdas, Aaditya; Acar, Umut – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Educational software data promises unique insights into students' study behaviors and drivers of success. While much work has been dedicated to performance prediction in massive open online courses, it is unclear if the same methods can be applied to blended courses and a deeper understanding of student strategies is often missing. We use pattern…

Kim, Byungsoo; Yu, Hangyeol; Shin, Dongmin; Choi, Youngduck – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
The needs for precisely estimating a student's academic performance have been emphasized with an increasing amount of attention paid to Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). However, since labels for academic performance, such as test scores, are collected from outside of ITS, obtaining the labels is costly, leading to label-scarcity problem which…
