Wenchao Ma; Miguel A. Sorrel; Xiaoming Zhai; Yuan Ge – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2024
Most existing diagnostic models are developed to detect whether students have mastered a set of skills of interest, but few have focused on identifying what scientific misconceptions students possess. This article developed a general dual-purpose model for simultaneously estimating students' overall ability and the presence and absence of…

Kubsch, Marcus; Krist, Christina; Rosenberg, Joshua M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Machine learning (ML) has become commonplace in educational research and science education research, especially to support assessment efforts. Such applications of machine learning have shown their promise in replicating and scaling human-driven codes of students' work. Despite this promise, we and other scholars argue that machine learning has…

Niaz, Mansoor – Science Education, 1995
Describes a study with the main objective of constructing models based on strategies students use to solve chemistry problems and to show that these models form sequences of progressive transitions termed "problemshifts" that increase the explanatory/heuristic power of the model. Results implies that the relationship between algorithmic…
