Microgenetic Designs for Educational Data Mining Research: Poster
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)/Open Educational Systems development projects abound in higher education today. Many universities worldwide have adopted open source software like ATutor and Moodle as an alternative to commercial or homegrown systems. The move to open source learning management systems entails many special considerations, including usage analysis facilities. The tracking of...
متن کاملMicrogenetic Learning Analysis: A Distinction without a Difference Commentary on Parnafes and diSessa
Parnafes and diSessa [this issue] present a useful description of the process of doing microgenetic analysis of qualitative data and report interesting findings about how students’ reasoning changes as they gain relevant experience. We are pleased that microgenetic approaches are being applied to educational issues and agree with the authors that new knowledge can be gained by closely examining...
