Matayoshi, Jeffrey; Cosyn, Eric; Uzun, Hasan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
As outlined by Benjamin Bloom, students working within a mastery learning framework must demonstrate mastery of the core prerequisite material before learning any subsequent material. Since many learning systems in use today adhere to these principles, an important component of such systems is the set of rules or algorithms that determine when a…

an de Sande, Brett – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Learning curves have proven to be a useful tool for understanding how a student learns a given skill as they progress through a curriculum. A learning curve for a given Knowledge Component (KC) is a plot of some measure of competence as a function of the number of opportunities the student has had to apply that KC. Consider the case where each…

Fang, Ying; Nye, Benjamin; Pavlik, Philip; Xu, Yonghong Jade; Graesser, Arthur; Hu, Xiangen – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Student persistence in online learning environments has typically been studied at the macro-level (e.g., completion of an online course, number of academic terms completed, etc.). The current examines student persistence in an adaptive learning environment, ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces). Specifically, the study explores the…

Xiong, Xiaolu; Zhao, Siyuan; Van Inwegen, Eric G.; Beck, Joseph E. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Over the last couple of decades, there have been a large variety of approaches towards modeling student knowledge within intelligent tutoring systems. With the booming development of deep learning and large-scale artificial neural networks, there have been empirical successes in a number of machine learning and data mining applications, including…

Wan, Hao; Beck, Joseph Barbosa – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
The phenomenon of wheel spinning refers to students attempting to solve problems on a particular skill, but becoming stuck due to an inability to learn the skill. Past research has found that students who do not master a skill quickly tend not to master it at all. One question is why do students wheel spin? A plausible hypothesis is that students…

Liu, Ran; Koedinger, Kenneth R. K – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
Research in Educational Data Mining could benefit from greater efforts to ensure that models yield reliable, valid, and interpretable parameter estimates. These efforts have especially been lacking for individualized student-parameter models. We collected two datasets from a sizable student population with excellent "depth" -- that is,…
