Detecting wheel-spinning behaviors of students who interact with an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) is important for generating pertinent and effective feedback and developing more enriching learning experiences. This analysis compares decision tree and bagged tree models of student productive persistence (i.e., mastering a skill) using the…

An important component of many Adaptive Instructional Systems (AIS) is a 'Learner Model' intended to track student learning and predict future performance. Predictions from learner models are frequently used in combination with mastery criterion decision rules to make pedagogical decisions. Important aspects of learner models, such as learning…

Post-transformational neoliberal reforms in the Czech Republic have established a competitive quasi-market, in which -- at the lower-secondary level -- academic-track schools (grammar schools or gymnasia) compete for students in the regular-track schools. These reforms have also brought a rise of shadow education (private supplementary tutoring)…

Scholars and teacher educators continue to research ways to effectively promote culturally responsive practices (Gay, 2010; Lucas & Villegas, 2013; Villegas & Lucas, 2007) and culturally sustaining pedagogies (Paris & Alim, 2017) with pre- and in-service teachers. Daniel (2016) postulates that teacher preparation programs need to…

With the urgent shift to distance learning due to Covid-19 measures, educational institutions around the world have started to adopt e-learning massively. According to many experts, artificial intelligence (AI) may provide both system-wide and pedagogical solutions to the problems which the administrators, educators, and students encounter during…

Private supplementary tutoring is a widespread phenomenon. However, evidence that private tutoring has positive effects on academic achievement or about the specific conditions of successful private tutoring is rare. Adapting Carroll's (1963) model for school learning to private tutoring, we expected to find positive effects of tutoring duration,…

The problem of this research focuses on the communication between the organizing center and the external tutors at practicum centers. A non-experimental methodology is followed to explore the connections between the different variables. Six correlations between the following variables stand out. Positive correlation: gender with sports specialty,…
