Paassen, Benjamin; McBroom, Jessica; Jeffries, Bryn; Koprinska, Irena; Yacef, Kalina – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
Educational data mining involves the application of data mining techniques to student activity. However, in the context of computer programming, many data mining techniques can not be applied because they require vector-shaped input, whereas computer programs have the form of syntax trees. In this paper, we present ast2vec, a neural network that…

Jia, Qinjin; Young, Mitchell; Xiao, Yunkai; Cui, Jialin; Liu, Chengyuan; Rashid, Parvez; Gehringer, Edward – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2022
Instant feedback plays a vital role in promoting academic achievement and student success. In practice, however, delivering timely feedback to students can be challenging for instructors for a variety of reasons (e.g., limited teaching resources). In many cases, feedback arrives too late for learners to act on the advice and reinforce their…

Young, Nicholas T.; Caballero, Marcos D. – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2021
We encounter variables with little variation often in educational data mining (EDM) due to the demographics of higher education and the questions we ask. Yet, little work has examined how to analyze such data. Therefore, we conducted a simulation study using logistic regression, penalized regression, and random forest. We systematically varied the…

Cohausz, Lea – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2022
Student success and drop-out predictions have gained increased attention in recent years, connected to the hope that by identifying struggling students, it is possible to intervene and provide early help and design programs based on patterns discovered by the models. Though by now many models exist achieving remarkable accuracy-values, models…

Makhlouf, Jihed; Mine, Tsunenori – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2020
In recent years, we have seen the continuous and rapid increase of job openings in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-related fields. Unfortunately, these positions are not met with an equal number of workers ready to fill them. Efforts are being made to find durable solutions for this phenomena, and they start by encouraging young…

Edwards, John; Hart, Kaden; Shrestha, Raj – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2023
Analysis of programming process data has become popular in computing education research and educational data mining in the last decade. This type of data is quantitative, often of high temporal resolution, and it can be collected non-intrusively while the student is in a natural setting. Many levels of granularity can be obtained, such as…
