Vahid Roshanaei; Bahman Naderi; Opher Baron; Dmitry Krass – INFORMS Transactions on Education, 2024
We present an interactive spreadsheet that supports teaching essential concepts in classification using the logistic regression (LoR) model for binary classification. The interactive spreadsheet demonstrates the capabilities of LoR by integrating computation with visualization. Students will reinforce concepts like probabilities, maximum…

Lewis, Norman P. – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2021
A thematic evaluation of data journalism courses resulted in a typology that parses the field and offers guidance to educators. At the center is pattern detection, preceded by data acquisition and cleaning, and followed by data representation. The typology advances academic understanding by offering a precise conceptualization that distinguishes…

Swai, Carina Titus; Mangowi, Steven Edward – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2022
Purpose: The general goal of this paper is to help educators understand the importance of MOOC training to school teachers and their hypothetical value for predicting the use of teaching strategies in the face-to face-classroom teaching. With this purpose, the study is guided by two research questions: (1) Are there different patterns of…

Kaltcheva, Nadia; Nenkova, Maia – Physics Education, 2021
Many introductory astronomy courses include concepts related to basic stellar properties. In general, these are concepts that originate from the human perception of starlight. This observational aspect is not easy to incorporate in the classroom. We explore if these concepts could be developed using the built-in data in a planetarium software.…

Zieffler, Andrew; Justice, Nicola; delMas, Robert; Huberty, Michael D. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Statistical modeling continues to gain prominence in the secondary curriculum, and recent recommendations to emphasize data science and computational thinking may soon position algorithmic models into the school curriculum. Many teachers' preparation for and experiences teaching statistical modeling have focused on probabilistic models.…

Shi, Yang; Schmucker, Robin; Chi, Min; Barnes, Tiffany; Price, Thomas – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Knowledge components (KCs) have many applications. In computing education, knowing the demonstration of specific KCs has been challenging. This paper introduces an entirely data-driven approach for: (1) discovering KCs; and (2) demonstrating KCs, using students' actual code submissions. Our system is based on two expected properties of KCs: (1)…

de Carvalho, Walisson Ferreira; Zárate, Luis Enrique – International Journal of Information and Learning Technology, 2021
Purpose: The paper aims to present a new two stage local causal learning algorithm -- HEISA. In the first stage, the algorithm discoveries the subset of features that better explains a target variable. During the second stage, computes the causal effect, using partial correlation, of each feature of the selected subset. Using this new algorithm,…

Gerbing, David W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
R and Python are commonly used software languages for data analytics. Using these languages as the course software for the introductory course gives students practical skills for applying statistical concepts to data analysis. However, the reliance upon the command line is perceived by the typical nontechnical introductory student as sufficiently…

Danciulescu, Theodora Ioana; Mihaescu, Marian Cristian; Heras, Stella; Palanca, Javier; Julian, Vicente – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Building and especially improving a classification kernel represents a challenging task. The works presented in this paper continue an already developed semi-supervised classification approach that aimed at labelling transcripts from educational videos. We questioned whether the size of the ground-truth data-set (Wikipedia articles) or the quality…

Raj, Gaurav; Mahajan, Manish; Singh, Dheerendra – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2020
In secure web application development, the role of web services will not continue if it is not trustworthy. Retaining customers with applications is one of the major challenges if the services are not reliable and trustworthy. This article proposes a trust evaluation and decision model where the authors have defined indirect attribute, trust,…

Poole, Frederick J.; Clarke-Midura, Jody – Language Learning & Technology, 2023
Research involving digital games and language learning is rapidly growing. One advantage of using digital games to support language learning is the ability to collect data on students learning in real time. In this study, we use educational data mining methods to explore the relationship between in-game data and elementary students' Chinese…

Karimi, Hamid; Derr, Tyler; Huang, Jiangtao; Tang, Jiliang – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Online learning has attracted a large number of participants and is increasingly becoming very popular. However, the completion rates for online learning are notoriously low. Further, unlike traditional education systems, teachers, if any, are unable to comprehensively evaluate the learning gain of each student through the online learning…

Spikol, Daniel; Ruffaldi, Emanuele; Dabisias, Giacomo; Cukurova, Mutlu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Multimodal learning analytics provides researchers new tools and techniques to capture different types of data from complex learning activities in dynamic learning environments. This paper investigates the use of diverse sensors, including computer vision, user-generated content, and data from the learning objects (physical computing components),…

Saito, Tomohiro; Watanobe, Yutaka – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2020
Programming education has recently received increased attention due to growing demand for programming and information technology skills. However, a lack of teaching materials and human resources presents a major challenge to meeting this demand. One way to compensate for a shortage of trained teachers is to use machine learning techniques to…

Ramirez-Arellano, Aldo; Bory-Reyes, Juan; Hernández-Simón, Luis Manuel – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
Several studies have focused on identifying the significant behavioral predictors of learning performances in web-based courses by examining the log data variables of learning management systems, including time spent on lectures, the number of assignments submitted, and so forth. However, such studies fail to quantify the impact of emotional,…
