Carvalho, Paulo F.; Gao, Min; Motz, Benjamin A.; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Students who actively engage with learning materials, for example by completing more practice activities, show better learning outcomes. A straightforward step to stimulate this desirable behavior is to require students to complete activities and downplay the role of reading materials. However, this approach might have undesirable consequences,…
