Costa, Denise Reis; Chen, Chia-Wen – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2023
Given the ongoing development of computer-based tasks, there has been increasing interest in modelling students' behaviour indicators from log file data with contextual variables collected via questionnaires. In this work, we apply a latent regression model to analyse the relationship between latent constructs (i.e., performance, speed, and…
