Jennifer Campbell; Katie Ansell; Tim Stelzer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Recent advances in publicly available natural language processors (NLP) may enhance the efficiency of analyzing student short-answer responses in physics education research (PER). We train a state-of-the-art NLP, IBM's Watson, and test its agreement with human coders using two different studies that gathered text responses in which students…

Tempelaar, Dirk T.; Rienties, Bart; Nguyen, Quan – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Studies in the field of learning analytics (LA) have shown students' demographics and learning management system (LMS) data to be effective identifiers of "at risk" performance. However, insights generated by these predictive models may not be suitable for pedagogically informed interventions due to the inability to explain why students…

McKenney, Susan; Mor, Yishay – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the value of positioning teaching as a design science. In this context, we see a great potential in the possible synergy between educational design, learning analytics and teacher inquiry. This synergy is demonstrated in the form of Computer Supported Curriculum Analysis, Design and Evaluation for…

Fesakis, Georgios; Kafoussi, Sonia; Malisiova, Eleftheria – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
Many researchers claim that children from a very young age form intuitive conceptions of probability, which may be adapted through properly designed learning activities. In addition, the random number generators as well as the dynamic interactive representations offered by digital technologies, open up new possibilities in learning probability…

Plesch, Christine; Kaendler, Celia; Rummel, Nikol; Wiedmann, Michael; Spada, Hans – Computers & Education, 2013
Despite steady progress in research in technology-enhanced learning (TEL), the translation of research findings and technology into educational practices falls short of expectations. We present five Areas of Tension which were identified and evaluated in an international Delphi study on TEL. These tensions might impede a more comprehensive…

Verbert, Katrien; Manouselis, Nikos; Drachsler, Hendrik; Duval, Erik – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
In various research areas, the availability of open datasets is considered as key for research and application purposes. These datasets are used as benchmarks to develop new algorithms and to compare them to other algorithms in given settings. Finding such available datasets for experimentation can be a challenging task in technology enhanced…
