Savi, Alexander O.; Deonovic, Benjamin E.; Bolsinova, Maria; van der Maas, Han L. J.; Maris, Gunter K. J. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
In learning, errors are ubiquitous and inevitable. As these errors may signal otherwise latent cognitive processes, tutors--and students alike--can greatly benefit from the information they provide. In this paper, we introduce and evaluate the Systematic Error Tracing (SET) model that identifies the possible causes of systematically observed…

Berens, Johannes; Schneider, Kerstin; Gortz, Simon; Oster, Simon; Burghoff, Julian – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2019
To successfully reduce student attrition, it is imperative to understand what the underlying determinants of attrition are and which students are at risk of dropping out. We develop an early detection system (EDS) using administrative student data from a state and private university to predict student dropout as a basis for a targeted…
