Many educational data mining studies have explored methods for discovering cognitive models and have emphasized improving prediction accuracy. Too few studies have "closed the loop" by applying discovered models toward improving instruction and testing whether proposed improvements achieve higher student outcomes. We claim that such…

The introduction of computer use in college mathematics classes for non-mathematics oriented students majoring in marketing, management, and other business-related fields is discussed. Results of a questionnaire of student opinions matched with pupil course grades is presented. It is noted students as a whole seemed satisfied with computer use.…

In order to study children's strategies for solving geometric matrices similar to those in the Raven's Progressive Matrices, ninety 7-, 10-, and 13-year-old boys and girls were administered tests of auditory and visual memory, the Raven's, and geometric matrices. The matrices varied in number of elements (1 to 3) and number of transformations (0…

This issue of the journal contains abstracts and critiques of 11 research reports. Three of the reports concern problem solving; the remainder pertain to the following topics: the impact of secondary schooling and secondary mathematics on student mathematical behavior; figural matrices; computer-video instruction in mathematics; equivalent…

The 7th International Conference on Education Data Mining held on July 4th-7th, 2014, at the Institute of Education, London, UK is the leading international forum for high-quality research that mines large data sets in order to answer educational research questions that shed light on the learning process. These data sets may come from the traces…

For the twenty-ninth year, the Research and Theory Division of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) is sponsoring the publication of these Proceedings. Papers published in this volume were presented at the National AECT Convention in Orlando, Florida. The Proceedings of AECT's Convention are published in two…
