Chevrier, Marianne; Muis, Krista R.; Di Leo, Ivana – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
We examined the role of epistemic cognition in calibration to task complexity before and during learning. Sixty-six undergraduate students were presented with two learning tasks--a simple task and a more complex task--in random order. Prior to learning, offline measures of learners' epistemic beliefs about climate change were taken. An open-ended…

Ma, Yijun; Agnihotri, Lalitha; Baker, Ryan; Mojarad, Shirin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Time has become a standard feature used in EDM models, and is used in models of meta-cognitive strategies to models of disengagement. Most of these models consider whether a student action is "too fast" or "too slow". However, an open question remains on how we define and select these cut-offs. Moreover, it is not clear that…
