Kim, Yunsung; Sreechan; Piech, Chris; Thille, Candace – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Dynamic Item Response Models extend the standard Item Response Theory (IRT) to capture temporal dynamics in learner ability. While these models have the potential to allow instructional systems to actively monitor the evolution of learner proficiency in real time, existing dynamic item response models rely on expensive inference algorithms that…

Piao, Guangyuan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) which enable large-scale open online learning for massive users have been playing an important role in modern education for both students as well as professionals. To keep users' interest in MOOCs, recommender systems have been studied and deployed to recommend courses or videos that a user might be interested…

Lee, Morgan P.; Croteau, Ethan; Gurung, Ashish; Botelho, Anthony F.; Heffernan, Neil T. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
The use of Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) models in predicting student learning and mastery, especially in mathematics, is a well-established and proven approach in learning analytics. In this work, we report on our analysis examining the generalizability of BKT models across academic years attributed to "detector rot." We compare the…

Sanyal, Debopam; Bosch, Nigel; Paquette, Luc – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Supervised machine learning has become one of the most important methods for developing educational and intelligent tutoring software; it is the backbone of many educational data mining methods for estimating knowledge, emotion, and other aspects of learning. Hence, in order to ensure optimal utilization of computing resources and effective…

Hutt, Stephen; Das, Sanchari; Baker, Ryan S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union contains directions on how user data may be collected, stored, and when it must be deleted. As similar legislation is developed around the globe, there is the potential for repercussions across multiple fields of research, including educational data mining (EDM). Over the past two…

Christhilf, Katerina; Newton, Natalie; Butterfuss, Reese; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Allen, Laura K.; Magliano, Joseph P.; McNamara, Danielle S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Prompting students to generate constructed responses as they read provides a window into the processes and strategies that they use to make sense of complex text. In this study, Markov models examined the extent to which: (1) patterns of strategies; and (2) strategy combinations could be used to inform computational models of students' text…

Hu, Qian; Rangwala, Huzefa – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
Over the past decade, machine learning has become an integral part of educational technologies. With more and more applications such as students' performance prediction, course recommendation, dropout prediction and knowledge tracing relying upon machine learning models, there is increasing evidence and concerns about bias and unfairness of these…

Xu, Yinuo; Pardos, Zachary A. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
In studies that generate course recommendations based on similarity, the typical enrollment data used for model training consists only of one record per student-course pair. In this study, we explore and quantify the additional signal present in course transaction data, which includes a more granular account of student administrative interactions…

Zhang, Jiayi; Andres, Juliana Ma. Alexandra L.; Hutt, Stephen; Baker, Ryan S.; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Mills, Caitlin; Brooks, Jamiella; Sethuraman, Sheela; Young, Tyron – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is a critical component of mathematics problem solving. Students skilled in SRL are more likely to effectively set goals, search for information, and direct their attention and cognitive process so that they align their efforts with their objectives. An influential framework for SRL, the SMART model, proposes that…

Rho, Jihyun; Rau, Martina A.; Van Veen, Barry D. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Instruction in many STEM domains heavily relies on visual representations, such as graphs, figures, and diagrams. However, students who lack representational competencies do not benefit from these visual representations. Therefore, students must learn not only content knowledge but also representational competencies. Further, as learning…

Picones, Gio; PaaBen, Benjamin; Koprinska, Irena; Yacef, Kalina – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to combine domain modelling and student modelling techniques in a single, automated pipeline which does not require expert knowledge and can be used to predict future student performance. Domain modelling techniques map questions to concepts and student modelling techniques generate a mastery score for a…

Švábenský, Valdemar; Baker, Ryan S.; Zambrano, Andrés; Zou, Yishan; Slater, Stefan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Students who take an online course, such as a MOOC, use the course's discussion forum to ask questions or reach out to instructors when encountering an issue. However, reading and responding to students' questions is difficult to scale because of the time needed to consider each message. As a result, critical issues may be left unresolved, and…

Zhang, Qiao; Maclellan, Christopher J. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Knowledge tracing algorithms are embedded in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to keep track of students' learning process. While knowledge tracing models have been extensively studied in offline settings, very little work has explored their use in online settings. This is primarily because conducting experiments to evaluate and select knowledge…

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)…

Khan, Md Akib Zabed; Polyzou, Agoritsa – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Academic advising plays an important role in students' decision-making in higher education. Data-driven methods provide useful recommendations to students to help them with degree completion. Several course recommendation models have been proposed in the literature to recommend courses for the next semester. One aspect of the data that has yet to…
