Krizan, Patricia – Social Education, 2019
Social studies teachers often have a love-hate relationship with inquiry. The possibilities of a dynamic and engaging approach to learning labor against time constraints imposed by a content-heavy curriculum. In that scenario, how can professional development (PD) on inquiry inform educators and encourage skeptical teachers to implement this…

Chen, Yetian; González-Brenes, José P.; Tian, Jin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
Skill prerequisite information is useful for tutoring systems that assess student knowledge or that provide remediation. These systems often encode prerequisites as graphs designed by subject matter experts in a costly and time-consuming process. In this paper, we introduce "Combined student Modeling and prerequisite Discovery"…
