Teig, Nani; Scherer, Ronny; Kjaernsli, Marit – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Previous research has demonstrated the potential of examining log-file data from computer-based assessments to understand student interactions with complex inquiry tasks. Rather than solely providing information about what has been achieved or the accuracy of student responses ("product data"), students' log files offer additional…
