Norum, Reilly; Lee, Ji-Eun; Ottmar, Erin – Grantee Submission, 2022
This preliminary study examined whether distinct student profiles (N = 760) emerged based on their behavioral patterns in an online algebraic learning game. We applied k-means clustering analysis to clickstream data collected in the game and then examined how students' behavioral patterns varied across the clusters using data visualization. The…

Rahimi, Seyedahmad; Shute, Valerie; Zhang, Qian – International Journal of Technology in Education and Science, 2021
Persistence is an important part of student success--both in and out of school. To enhance persistence, we first need to assess it accurately. Digital games can be used as vehicles for measuring and enhancing persistence. The purpose of this study is to test the effects of (a) game-level characteristics (i.e., game mechanics and conceptual…

Kirk Vanacore; Adam Sales; Alison Liu; Erin Ottmar – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Background: Persisting after experiencing difficulty allows students to work in the upper ends of their zones of proximal development, where most learning occurs (Ventura et al., 2013; Vygotsky & Cole, 1978). Digital educational games promote productive persistence by allowing students to repeat the same or similar problems until they reach…
