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…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) models predicting student performance in intelligent tutoring systems have been successfully deployed in several educational domains. However, their usage in open-ended programming problems poses multiple challenges due to the complexity of the programming code and a complex interplay between syntax and logic requirements…

In this study, we introduced a cross-classified multidimensional nominal response model (CC-MNRM) to account for various response styles (RS) in the presence of cross-classified data. The proposed model allows slopes to vary across items and can explore impacts of observed covariates on latent constructs. We applied a recently developed variant of…

Whether machine learning algorithms effectively predict college students' course outcomes using learning management system data is unknown. Identifying students who will have a poor outcome can help institutions plan future budgets and allocate resources to create interventions for underachieving students. Therefore, knowing the effectiveness of…

This article examines the work of predictive analytics in shaping the social worlds in which they thrive, and in particular the world of the first year of Great State University's student success initiative. Specifically, this article investigates the following research paradox: predictive analytics, as driven by a logic premised on predicting the…

Predictive student models are increasingly used in learning environments due to their ability to enhance educational outcomes and support stakeholders in making informed decisions. However, predictive models can be biased and produce unfair outcomes, leading to potential discrimination against certain individuals and harmful long-term…

Background/purpose: Mobile learning (M-learning) has become a crucial component of higher education due to the increasing demand for flexible and adaptive learning environments. However, ensuring personalized and effective M-learning experiences remains a challenge. This study aims to enhance M-learning effectiveness by introducing an AI-driven…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate factors that could predict the continued usage of e-learning systems, such as the learning management systems (LMS) at a Technical University in Ghana using machine learning algorithms. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed model for this study adopted a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology…

Predictive student models are increasingly used in learning environments due to their ability to enhance educational outcomes and support stakeholders in making informed decisions. However, predictive models can be biased and produce unfair outcomes, leading to potential discrimination against some students and possible harmful long-term…

We propose a novel approach to address the issue of college student attrition by developing a hybrid model that combines a structural neural network with a piecewise exponential model. This hybrid model not only shows the potential to robustly identify students who are at high risk of dropout, but also provides insights into which factors are most…

In recent years, China has accelerated the process of internationalization and made more and more achievements in transnational communication and cooperation. English learning is very important for contemporary college students. And English reading is an important means to acquire English language knowledge, understand external information and…

To prevent students from learning risks and improve teachers' teaching quality, it is of great significance to provide accurate early warning of learning performance to students by analyzing their interactions through an e-learning system. In existing research, the correlations between learning risks and students' changing cognitive abilities or…

The early detection of students' academic performance or final grades helps instructors prepare their online courses. In the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset, I found many online students clicked the course materials before the first day of class. This study aims to investigate how data mining models can use this student interaction data…

Governments and educational authorities around the world are emphasizing performance evaluation of educational systems. Opinion Mining (OM) has gained acceptance among experts in various regions, including the preparation space. The proposed model involves Two modules: the data preprocessing module and the opinion mining module. The main objective…

Predicting student performance is crucial in higher education, as it facilitates course selection and the development of appropriate future study plans. The process of supporting the instructors and supervisors in monitoring students in order to upkeep them and combine training programs to get the best outcomes. It decreases the official warning…
