Exploring Multiple Strategic Problem Solving Behaviors in Educational Psychology Research by Using Mixture Cognitive Diagnosis Model

Using Regression Mixture Analysis in Educational Research

Conventional regression analysis is typically used in educational research. Usually such an analysis implicitly assumes that a common set of regression parameter estimates captures the population characteristics represented in the sample. In some situations, however, this implicit assumption may not be realistic, and the sample may contain several subpopulations such as high math achievers and ...

Using Similarity to Infer Meta-cognitive Behaviors During Analogical Problem Solving

We present a computational framework designed to provide adaptive support aimed at triggering learning from problem-solving activities in the presence of worked-out examples. The key to the framework’s ability to provide this support is a user model that exploits a novel classification of similarity to infer the impact of a particular example on a given student’s metacognitive behaviors and sub...

Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience/Problem Solving from an Evolutionary Perspective

Solving product mix problem in multiple constraints environment using goal programming

The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...
