Erin Ottmar; Ji-Eun Lee; Kirk Vanacore; Siddhartha Pradhan; Lauren Decker-Woodrow; Craig A. Mason – Grantee Submission, 2023
This paper provides information on datasets for the research project that examined the efficacy of three educational technologies including "From Here to There!", a research-based game for improving algebraic understanding. The dataset contains 4,092 7th-grade students' data collected through a randomized control trial conducted in…

Hannah Smith; Avery H. Closser; Erin Ottmar; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Worked examples are effective learning tools for algebraic equation solving. However, they are typically presented in a static concise format, which only displays the major derivation steps in one static image. The current work explores how worked examples that vary in their extensiveness (i.e., detail) and degree of dynamic presentation (i.e.,…

Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Avery H. Closser; Vy Ngo; Hannah Smith; Allison S. Liu; Erin Ottmar – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Prior work has shown that middle school students struggle with algebra and that game-based educational technologies, such as DragonBox and From Here to There!, are effective at improving students' algebraic performance. However, it remains unclear which aspects of algebraic knowledge shift as a result of playing these games and what…

Ji-Eun Lee; Amisha Jindal; Sanika Nitin Patki; Ashish Gurung; Reilly Norum; Erin Ottmar – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
This paper demonstrated how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. Using a data-driven approach, we examined 1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance (i.e. posttest math knowledge scores) prediction and 2)…

This paper demonstrates how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. We examined: (1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance prediction; and (2) what types of in-game features were associated with student…
