Knowledge tracing (KT) models have been a commonly used tool for tracking students' knowledge status. Recent advances in deep knowledge tracing (DKT) have demonstrated increased performance for knowledge tracing tasks in many datasets. However, interpreting students' states on single knowledge components (KCs) from DKT models could be challenging…

This paper recaps Henschke's 2022 CIAE paper on the premise that God's "agape" (unconditional, divine, love, loving-kindness toward humankind, which is everlasting, perfect, selfless, sacrificial) encompasses the other three loves: "eros" (sublime, intimate love); "storge" (I've got your back); "philea"…

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a probabilistic model of a learner's state of mastery for a knowledge component. The learner's state is a "hidden" binary variable updated based on the correctness of the learner's responses to questions corresponding to that knowledge component. The parameters used for this update are inferred/learned…

Analyzing which skills students develop in introductory programming education is an important question for the computer science education community. These key skills and concepts have been formalized as knowledge components, which are units of knowledge that can be measured by performance on a set of tasks. While knowledge components in other…

Researchers have reported that preservice mathematics teachers' (PMTs') conceptions for radian angle measure are dominated by conceptions of degrees, memorization, and calculational strategies, and are always expressed in terms on [pi]. In this report, I unpack the mathematical meanings of a PMT, Henry (pseudonym), as he engaged in three…

According to architectural designers, although they are aware of the sound environment when designing spaces, in many cases visual (design) and cost (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were the predominant factors. In many cases, the visual (design) and cost aspects (cost-effectiveness, etc.) were dominant. The tacit rule for evaluating the sound…

Here we investigate how college students may conceptualize symbolic algebraic properties. This work uses the theory of Grundvorstellungen (GVs) to analyze how learners' conceptions may or may not align with some desired goals of instruction. Through the analysis of interviews with students across a variety of courses, we describe several…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) is a task to model students' knowledge based on their coursework interactions within an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). Recently, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) showed superb performance over classical methods on multiple dataset benchmarks. While most Deep Learning based Knowledge Tracing (DLKT) models are optimized for…

The current study aimed to determine the awareness of teachers from different branches about the characteristics of gifted students and to examine whether this awareness varies significantly depending on gender, graduated faculty, professional experience, education level and branch. The study used the relational survey design, one of the…

Although computers have many benefits for people, long-term continuous and non-ergonomic usage may lead to a number of health problems, especially vision and posture disorders. Therefore, it is crucial for students to learn and implement ergonomic usage principals. Perhaps, university students are the most at risk users as their access to computer…

Short answer assessment is a vital component of science education, allowing evaluation of students' complex three-dimensional understanding. Large language models (LLMs) that possess human-like ability in linguistic tasks are increasingly popular in assisting human graders to reduce their workload. However, LLMs' limitations in domain knowledge…

Mechanical reasoning is crucial for many engineering fields, yet undergraduate engineering students struggle to understand discipline-specific formalisms from their courses that model mechanical concepts. The current investigation observed undergraduate engineering students' speech during mechanical reasoning and the benefits of attending to…

Introduction: Sexual health education provides young people with accurate, age-appropriate information about sexuality and their sexual and reproductive health, which is very important for their overall health. The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge and attitude school-based towards sexual health education among high school students…

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of the model-lead-test (MLT) and video modeling (VM) methods in teaching individuals with ID how to access and use the services provided by the Turkish state in digital environments. Four individuals participated in the study, in which the adapted alternating treatments design, one of…

This study examines the impact of a professional learning (PL) project on secondary mathematics teachers' professional growth in their knowledge, beliefs, and instructional practices. Initially attributing teaching challenges to external constraints, some teachers gradually recognised the need for pedagogical development through reflection and…
