Educational Data Mining: Illuminating Student Learning Pathways in an Online Fraction Game
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates ways to interpret and utilize the vast amount of log data collected from an educational game called Refraction to understand student fraction learning. Study participants are elementary students enrolled in an online virtual school system who played the game over the course of multiple weeks. Findings suggest that students use a variety of splitting strategies when solving Refraction levels and that these strategies are related to learning gains.

The popularity of online education environment is growing due to the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) movement. Many types of research in educational data mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics have focused on solving assessment challenges; however, the large number of students enrolled in MOOCs makes it difficult to assess learning outcomes. Thus, it is necessary to develop an automatic learning...
متن کاملMining Frequent Learning Pathways from a Large Educational Dataset
In this paper, we describe data mining techniques used to extract frequent learning pathways from a large educational dataset. These pathways were extracted as a directed graph that encoded student learning processes. Our dataset contains more than 800 million interactions of over 3 million anonymized students in an online learning platform. Performing process mining on large and complex datase...

Educational Data Mining (EDM) methods can expand the reach of microgenetic research. This paper presents an example of our pilot work using microgenetic analysis in the context of fraction game data, where we characterize student activity based on clustered sequences of actions. We cluster sequences by the similarity between them, calculated using optimal matching techniques.

The focus of this research was to use Educational Data Mining (EDM) techniques to conduct a quantitative analysis of students interaction with an e-learning system through instructor-led non-graded and graded courses. This exercise is useful for establishing a guideline for a series of online short courses for them. A group of 412 students’ access behaviour in an e-learning system were analysed...
