Carlon, May Kristine Jonson; Cross, Jeffrey S. – Open Education Studies, 2022
Adaptive learning is provided in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) to enable learners with varying abilities to meet their expected learning outcomes. Despite the personalized learning afforded by ITSes using adaptive learning, learners are still susceptible to shallow learning. Introducing metacognitive tutoring to teach learners how to be aware…

Agarwal, Deepak; Baker, Ryan S.; Muraleedharan, Anupama – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
There has been considerable interest in techniques for modelling student learning across practice problems to drive real-time adaptive learning, with particular focus on variants of the classic Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) model proposed by Corbett & Anderson, 1995. Over time researches have proposed many variants of BKT with…

Meng, Lingling; Zhang, Mingxin; Zhang, Wanxue; Chu, Yu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
Bayesian knowledge tracing model (BKT) is a typical student knowledge assessment method. It is widely used in intelligent tutoring systems. In the standard BKT model, all knowledge and skills are independent of each other. However, in the process of student learning, they have a very close relation. A student may understand knowledge B better when…

Gervet, Theophile; Koedinger, Ken; Schneider, Jeff; Mitchell, Tom – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) teach skills using learning-by-doing principles and provide learners with individualized feedback and materials adapted to their level of understanding. Given a learner's history of past interactions with an ITS, a learner performance model estimates the current state of a learner's knowledge and predicts her…

Whitehill, Jacob; Movellan, Javier – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
We propose a method of generating teaching policies for use in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for concept learning tasks [1], e.g., teaching students the meanings of words by showing images that exemplify their meanings à la Rosetta Stone [2] and Duo Lingo [3]. The approach is grounded in control theory and capitalizes on recent work by [4],…

Kaser, Tanja; Klingler, Severin; Schwing, Alexander G.; Gross, Markus – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Intelligent tutoring systems adapt the curriculum to the needs of the individual student. Therefore, an accurate representation and prediction of student knowledge is essential. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a popular approach for student modeling. The structure of BKT models, however, makes it impossible to represent the hierarchy and…

Yudelson, Michael V. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) models were in active use in the Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) field for over 20 years. They have been intensively studied, and a number of useful extensions to them were proposed and experimentally tested. Among the most widely researched extensions to BKT models are various types of individualization.…

Feng, Junchen – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The future of education is human expertise and artificial intelligence working in conjunction, a revolution that will change the education as we know it. The Intelligent Tutoring System is a key component of this future. A quantitative measurement of efficacies of practice to heterogeneous learners is the cornerstone of building an effective…

Falakmasir, Mohammad; Yudelson, Michael; Ritter, Steve; Koedinger, Ken – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) has been in wide use for modeling student skill acquisition in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). BKT tracks and updates student's latent mastery of a skill as a probability distribution of a binary variable. BKT does so by accounting for observed student successes in applying the skill correctly, where success is…

MacLellan, Christopher J.; Liu, Ran; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Additive Factors Model (AFM) and Performance Factors Analysis (PFA) are two popular models of student learning that employ logistic regression to estimate parameters and predict performance. This is in contrast to Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) which uses a Hidden Markov Model formalism. While all three models tend to make similar predictions,…

Belland, Brian R.; Walker, Andrew E.; Kim, Nam Ju – Review of Educational Research, 2017
Computer-based scaffolding provides temporary support that enables students to participate in and become more proficient at complex skills like problem solving, argumentation, and evaluation. While meta-analyses have addressed between-subject differences on cognitive outcomes resulting from scaffolding, none has addressed within-subject gains.…

Gonzalez-Brenes, Jose P.; Mostow, Jack – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2012
This work describes a unified approach to two problems previously addressed separately in Intelligent Tutoring Systems: (i) Cognitive Modeling, which factorizes problem solving steps into the latent set of skills required to perform them; and (ii) Student Modeling, which infers students' learning by observing student performance. The practical…
