Intelligent technology plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing learning assessments, overcoming the constraints of traditional assessment methods and driving educational innovation. Knowledge tracing (KT) emerges as a critical component for assessing students' learning states and forecasting their future performance. However, existing graph-based…

Knowledge tracing (KT) plays a key role in adaptive learning, yet traditional recurrent neural network-based methods often struggle with sparse data and overlook relationships between knowledge points. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a novel knowledge tracing model (KGS-KT) that integrates knowledge graphs, graph convolutional…

Computational learning theory studies the design and analysis of learning algorithms, and it is integral to the foundation of machine learning. In the modern era, classical computational learning theory is growingly unable to catch up with new practical demands. In particular, problems arise in the following aspects: i). "scalability":…

As an excellent means of improving students' effective learning, knowledge tracking can assess the level of knowledge mastery and discover latent learning patterns based on students' historical learning evaluation of related questions. The advantage of knowledge tracking is that it can better organize and adjust students' learning plans, provide…

The objective of question generation from knowledge graphs (KGQG) is to create coherent and answerable questions from a given subgraph and a specified answer entity. KGQG has garnered significant attention due to its pivotal role in enhancing online education. Encoder-decoder architectures have advanced traditional KGQG approaches. However, these…

Social science theories often postulate systems of causal relationships among variables, which are commonly represented using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). As non-parametric causal models, DAGs require no assumptions about the functional form of the hypothesized relationships. Nevertheless, to simplify empirical evaluation, researchers typically…

In recent years, online learning methods have gradually been accepted by more and more people. A large number of online teaching courses and other resources (MOOCs) have also followed. To attract students' interest in learning, many scholars have built recommendation systems for MOOCs. However, students need a variety of different learning…

This paper proposes a three-step approach to develop knowledge graphs that integrate textbook-based target knowledge graph with student dialogue-based knowledge graphs. The study was conducted in seventh-grade STEM classes, following a collaborative problem solving process. First, the proposed approach generates a comprehensive target knowledge…

To prepare undergraduates for complex careers, interdisciplinary higher education is gaining popularity. However, implementing interdisciplinary learning in engineering management is challenging due to the complex and intertwined knowledge structures. While smart education platforms provide access to extensive knowledge bases, the intricate web of…

Early identification of student success is crucial for enabling timely interventions, reducing dropout rates, and promoting on-time graduation. In educational settings, AI-powered systems have become essential for predicting student performance due to their advanced analytical capabilities. However, effectively leveraging diverse student data to…

Automatic short answer grading (ASAG) is a challenging task that aims to predict a score for a given student response. Previous works on ASAG mainly use nonneural or neural methods. However, the former depends on handcrafted features and is limited by its inflexibility and high cost, and the latter ignores global word cooccurrence in a corpus and…

Technological advances have significantly affected education, leading to the creation of online learning platforms such as virtual learning environments and massive open online courses. While these platforms offer a variety of features, none of them incorporates a module that accurately predicts students' academic performance and commitment.…

Many students persistently misinterpret histograms. Literature suggests that having students solve dotplot items may prepare for interpreting histograms, as interpreting dotplots can help students realize that the statistical variable is presented on the horizontal axis. In this study, we explore a special case of this suggestion, namely, how…

The well-known artificial intelligence-based chatbot ChatGPT-4 has become able to process image data as input in October 2023. We investigated its performance on the test of understanding graphs in kinematics to inform the physics education community of the current potential of using ChatGPT in the education process, particularly on tasks that…

Current learning platforms generally have problems such as fragmented knowledge, redundant information, and chaotic learning routes, which cannot meet learners' autonomous learning requirements. This paper designs a learning path recommendation system based on knowledge graphs by using the characteristics of knowledge graphs to structurally…
