Comparing Disengaged Behavior within a Cognitive Tutor in the USA and Philippines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study how student behaviors associated with engagement differ across different school settings. We present a study to investigate the variation in gaming the system and off-task behavior in schools in the USA and Philippines, using quantitative field observations on students using the same Cognitive Tutor lesson on scatterplots. We find that students in the Philippines go off-task significantly less but game the system significantly more than our sample of students in the USA. This study suggests that ITS designed for different settings or used in different settings will need to emphasize adaptation to different disengaged behaviors.

متن کاملExploring the Relationships between Design, Students' Affective States, and Disengaged Behaviors within an ITS
Recent research has shown that differences in software design and content are associated with differences in how much students game the system and go off-task. In particular the design features of a tutor have found to predict substantial amounts of variance in gaming and off-task behavior. However, it is not yet understood how this influence takes place. In this paper we investigate the relati...

A student is said to have committed a careless error when a student’s answer is wrong despite the fact that he or she knows the answer (Clements, 1982). In this paper, educational data mining techniques are used to analyze log files produced by a cognitive tutor for Scatterplots to derive a model and detector for carelessness. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing and its variant, the Contextual-Slip-and-...

متن کاملWhat Goals Do Students Have When Choosing the Actions They Perform?
Several models were built recently in the metacognitive level of the students’ interaction with Cognitive Tutors, an intelligent tutoring system based on ACT-R theory. After finding suboptimal help-seeking behavior, we built a metacognitive model of desired help-seeking behavior (Aleven et al. in press). In a different Cognitive Tutor, Baker et al. (2004) built a model that identifies misuse of...
