A Contextualized, Differential Sequence Mining Method to Derive Students' Learning Behavior Patterns

John S. Kinnebrew, Kirk M. Loretz, Gautam Biswas
2013 Zenodo  
Specifically, we employ a piecewise linear segmentation algorithm in concert with the differential sequence mining technique to identify and compare segments of students' productive and unproductive learning  ...  The core algorithm employs a novel combination of sequence mining techniques to identify differentially frequent patterns between groups of students (e.g., experimental versus control conditions or high  ...  identifying important patterns that may elucidate differences in learning behavior.  ...

Learning Behavior Characterization with Multi-Feature, Hierarchical Activity Sequences

Cheng Ye, John S. Kinnebrew, James René Segedy, Gautam Biswas
2015 Educational Data Mining  
In this paper, we employ a differential version of MFH-SPAM to extract a small set of patterns that best differentiate students with different learning behavior profiles in the Betty's Brain system.  ...  Our results illustrate that: (1) MFH-SPAM identifies important patterns missed by traditional sequence mining approaches; and (2) the differential patterns provide additional information for characterizing  ...  Overall, these results showed the importance of behavior patterns identified by MFH-SPAM and illustrated the potential to use these patterns to better characterize and ultimately scaffold student learning  ...

Understanding Faculty Use of the Learning Management System

Jason Rhode, Stephanie Richter, Peter Gowen, Tracy Miller, Cameron Wills
2017 Online Learning  
The results identified the features that were used most frequently and how usage had changed over time.  ...  The learning management system (LMS) has become a critical tool for nearly all institutions of higher education, and a driving force in online learning.  ...  As a result, Whitmer et al. identified five course patterns which generalized broad approaches to LMS usage which ranged from supplemental use to fully integrated holistic use.  ...

What is this Substance? What Makes it Different? Mapping Progression in Students' Assumptions about Chemical Identity

Courtney Ngai, Hannah Sevian, Vicente Talanquer
2014 International Journal of Science Education  
Although chemical identity is not a concept explicitly addressed by traditional chemistry curricula, its understanding can be expected to evolve as students are asked to recognize different types of substances  ...  The goal of this contribution is to characterize students' assumptions about factors that determine chemical identity and to map how core assumptions change with training in the discipline.  ...  We expect, for example, that solid objects will always move in continuous trajectories and will persist over time (Spelke & Kinzler, 2007) .  ...
