Mining behaviors of students in autograding submission system logs

چکیده
Effective mining of data from online submission systems offers the potential to improve educational outcomes by identifying student habits and behaviours and their relationship with levels of achievement. In particular, it may assist in identifying students at risk of performing poorly, allowing for early intervention. In this paper we investigate different methods of following the development of student behaviour throughout the semester using online submission system data, and different approaches to analysing this development. We demonstrate the application of these methods to data from a junior computer science course (N=494) and discuss their usefulness in understanding the common behavioural strategies of students in this course and how these develop over time. Finally, we draw links between behaviour in weekly coding tasks and student performance in the final exam and discuss whether these methods could be applicable midway through the semester.

Exploring and Following Students' Strategies When Completing Their Weekly Tasks
In this paper, we explore methods of analysing data obtained from an autograding system involving weekly tasks and a finite set of possible strategies for completing these tasks. We present an approach to handling partially missing information and also investigate the usefulness of a sliding window rule mining technique in following changes in student strategy over time.

متن کاملA programming method to estimate proximate parameters of coal beds from well-logging data using a sequential solving of linear equation systems
This paper presents an innovative solution for estimating the proximate parameters of coal beds from the well-logs. To implement the solution, the C# programming language was used. The data from four exploratory boreholes was used in a case study to express the method and determine its accuracy. Then two boreholes were selected as the reference, namely the boreholes with available well-logging ...
