Kosei Fukuda – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
In statistics classes, the central limit theorem has been demonstrated using simulation-based illustrations. Known population distributions such as a uniform or exponential distribution are often used to consider the behavior of the sample mean in simulated samples. Unlike such simulations, a number of real-data-based simulations are here…

Ali, Amira D.; Hanna, Wael K. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities adopted a hybrid learning model as a substitute for a traditional one. Predicting students' performance in hybrid environments is a complex task because it depends on extracting and analyzing different types of data: log data, self-reports, and face-to-face interactions. Students must…

Cannistrà, Marta; Masci, Chiara; Ieva, Francesca; Agasisti, Tommaso; Paganoni, Anna Maria – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
This paper combines a theoretical-based model with a data-driven approach to develop an Early Warning System that detects students who are more likely to dropout. The model uses innovative multilevel statistical and machine learning methods. The paper demonstrates the validity of the approach by applying it to administrative data from a leading…

Barros, Thiago M.; Souza Neto, Plácido A.; Silva, Ivanovitch; Guedes, Luiz Affonso – Education Sciences, 2019
Predicting school dropout rates is an important issue for the smooth execution of an educational system. This problem is solved by classifying students into two classes using educational activities related statistical datasets. One of the classes must identify the students who have the tendency to persist. The other class must identify the…
