متن کاملRevisiting and Extending the Item Difficulty Effect Model
Data collected by learning environments and online courses contains many potentially useful features, but traditionally many of these are ignored when modeling students. One feature that could use further examination is item difficulty. In their KT-IDEM model, Pardos and Heffernan proposed the use of question templates to differentiate guess and slip rates in knowledge tracing based on the diff...
متن کاملDesirable Difficulty and Other Predictors of Effective Item Orderings
Online adaptive tutoring systems are increasingly being used in classrooms as a way to provide guided learning for students. Such tutors have the potential to provide tailored feedback based on specific student needs and misunderstandings. Bayesian knowledge tracing (BKT) is used to model student knowledge when knowledge is assumed to be changing throughout a single assessment period. The basic...
