Background: Process data captured by computer-based assessments provide valuable insight into respondents' cognitive processes during problem-solving tasks. Although previous studies have utilized process data to analyse behavioural patterns or strategies in problem-solving tasks, the connection between latent cognitive states and their…

Yu, Yuhua; Oh, Yongtaek; Kounios, John; Beeman, Mark – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
To solve a new problem, people spontaneously engage multiple cognitive processes. Previous work has identified a diverse set of oscillatory components critical at different stages of creative problem solving. In this project, we use hidden state modeling to untangle the roles of oscillation processes over time as people solve puzzles. Building on…

Problem-solving strategies are crucial in learning programming. Owing to their hidden nature, traditional methods such as interviews and questionnaires cannot reflect the details and differences of problem-solving strategies in programming. This study uses the Hidden Markov Model to detect and compare the problem-solving strategies of different…

Xiao, Yue; He, Qiwei; Veldkamp, Bernard; Liu, Hongyun – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The response process of problem-solving items contains rich information about respondents' behaviours and cognitive process in the digital tasks, while the information extraction is a big challenge. The aim of the study is to use a data-driven approach to explore the latent states and state transitions underlying problem-solving process to reflect…

Tang, Hengtao; Dai, Miao; Yang, Shuoqiu; Du, Xu; Hung, Jui-Long; Li, Hao – Distance Education, 2022
The purpose of this research was to apply multimodal learning analytics in order to systemically investigate college students' attention states during their collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in online settings. Existing research on CPS relies on self-reported data, which limits the validity of the findings. This study looked at data in a…

We propose a dyadic Item Response Theory (dIRT) model for measuring interactions of pairs of individuals when the responses to items represent the actions (or behaviors, perceptions, etc.) of each individual (actor) made within the context of a dyad formed with another individual (partner). Examples of its use include the assessment of…

Villanueva Manjarres, Andrés; Moreno Sandoval, Luis Gabriel; Salinas Suárez, Martha Janneth – Digital Education Review, 2018
Educational Data Mining is an emerging discipline which seeks to develop methods to explore large amounts of data from educational settings, in order to understand students' behavior, interests and results in a better way. In recent years there have been various works related to this specialty and multiple data mining techniques derived from this…

Shen, Shitian; Mostafavi, Behrooz; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2018
An important goal in the design and development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is to have a system that adaptively reacts to students' behavior in the short term and effectively improves their learning performance in the long term. Inducing effective pedagogical strategies that accomplish this goal is an essential challenge. To address…

Lavbic, Dejan; Matek, Tadej; Zrnec, Aljaž – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Today's software industry requires individuals who are proficient in as many programming languages as possible. Structured query language (SQL), as an adopted standard, is no exception, as it is the most widely used query language to retrieve and manipulate data. However, the process of learning SQL turns out to be challenging. The need for a…

Zhou, Guojing; Wang, Jianxun; Lynch, Collin F.; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
In this study, we applied decision trees (DT) to extract a compact set of pedagogical decision-making rules from an original "full" set of 3,702 Reinforcement Learning (RL)- induced rules, referred to as the DT-RL rules and Full-RL rules respectively. We then evaluated the effectiveness of the two rule sets against a baseline Random…

Lynch, Collin F., Ed.; Merceron, Agathe, Ed.; Desmarais, Michel, Ed.; Nkambou, Roger, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The 12th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2019) is organized under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society in Montreal, Canada. The theme of this year's conference is EDM in Open-Ended Domains. As EDM has matured it has increasingly been applied to open-ended and ill-defined tasks…
