Zhang, Maoxin; Andersson, Björn – Educational Assessment, 2023
Process data from educational assessments enhance the understanding of how students answer cognitive items. However, effectively making use of these data is challenging. We propose an approach to identify solution patterns from operation sequences and response times by generating networks from process data and defining network features that…

Julia Tomanova; Martin Vozar; Dasa Munkova – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2024
The study focuses on the identification of relationships and/or rules between computational thinking (CT) concepts among the undergraduate students of Applied Informatics due to their attitudes towards mathematics. We analyze three CT concepts -- decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. We assume that students who have a…

Tamara Broderick; Andrew Gelman; Rachael Meager; Anna L. Smith; Tian Zheng – Grantee Submission, 2022
Probabilistic machine learning increasingly informs critical decisions in medicine, economics, politics, and beyond. To aid the development of trust in these decisions, we develop a taxonomy delineating where trust in an analysis can break down: (1) in the translation of real-world goals to goals on a particular set of training data, (2) in the…

Feng, Mingyu, Ed.; Käser, Tanja, Ed.; Talukdar, Partha, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
The Indian Institute of Science is proud to host the fully in-person sixteenth iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM) during July 11-14, 2023. EDM is the annual flagship conference of the International Educational Data Mining Society. The theme of this year's conference is "Educational data mining for…

Kolata, Gina Bari – Science, 1974
Although today's computers can perform as many as one million operations per second, there are many problems that are still too large to be solved in a straightforward manner. Recent work indicates that many approximate solutions are useful and more efficient than exact solutions. (Author/RH)

Landauer, Thomas K., Ed.; McNamara, Danielle S., Ed.; Dennis, Simon, Ed.; Kintsch, Walter, Ed. – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2007
"The Handbook of Latent Semantic Analysis" is the authoritative reference for the theory behind Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), a burgeoning mathematical method used to analyze how words make meaning, with the desired outcome to program machines to understand human commands via natural language rather than strict programming protocols.…

Wilf, Herbert S. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1979
A few examples are discussed of situations where some solution to writing a computer program for an algorithmic problem is immediately evident, but the best solution is some distance away. (MP)

Schultz, James E.; Waits, Bert K. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1979
The calculator is used to solve certain formidable equations, which arise naturally and which may be difficult or impossible to solve by standard methods, by a method of successive approximations. (MP)

Hatano, Giyoo; And Others – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1996
Describes two experiments that investigate how "buggy algorithms" in multi-digit subtraction are used. The first experiment tested third grade students (N=110) and repeated the test two years later. The second experiment tested students in grades 3-6 (N=301). Contains 21 references. (DDR)

Anghileri, Julia – British Educational Research Journal, 2001
Explains that Year 5 students in ten British schools took a mathematics division test twice in the school year. The test involved context and bare problems to identify changes in approach as the standard algorithm was introduced. Reports that 52 percent of students gained a higher score on the second test.
