An Analysis of Attention to Student - Adaptive Hints in an Educational Game

چکیده
We present a user study to investigate which factors affect student attention to user-adaptive hints during interaction with an educational computer game. The game is Prime Climb, an educational game designed to provide individualized support for learning number factorization skills in the form of hints based on a model of student learning. We use eye-tracking data to capture user attention patterns on the game adaptive-hints, and present results on how these patterns are impacted by factors related to existing user knowledge, hint timing, and attitude toward getting help in general. We plan to leverage these results in the future for making hint delivery adaptive to these factors.

Understanding Student Attention to Adaptive Hints with Eye-Tracking
Prime Climb is an educational game that provides individualized support for learning number factorization skills. This support is delivered by a pedagogical agent in the form of hints based on a model of student learning. Previous studies with Prime Climb indicated that students may not always be paying attentions to the hints, even when they are justified. In this paper we discuss preliminary ...
متن کاملA Model and Adaptive Support for Learning in an Educational Game Data-driven refinement and evaluation of a student model and pedagogical interventions for Prime Climb
Educational games are highly motivating, however, there is little evidence that they can trigger learning unless game-play is supported by additional activities. We aim to support students during game play via an intelligent pedagogical agent that intervenes to offer hints and suggestions when the student is lacking domain knowledge, but does not interfere otherwise, so as to maintain the engag...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Learning Game for Autistic Children using Reinforcement Learning and Fuzzy Logic
This paper, presents an adapted serious game for rating social ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The required measurements are obtained by challenges of the proposed serious game. The proposed serious game uses reinforcement learning concepts for being adaptive. It is based on fuzzy logic to evaluate the social ability level of the children with ASD. The game adapts itsel...
متن کاملEvaluating Adaptive Feedback in an Educational Computer Game
In this paper, we present a study to evaluate the impact of adaptive feedback on the effectiveness of a pedagogical agent for an educational computer game. We compare a version of the game with no agent, and two versions with agents that differ only in the accuracy of the student model used to guide the agent’s interventions. We found no difference in student learning across the three condition...
متن کاملGenerating Hints for Programming Problems Using Intermediate Output
In this work, we compare two representations of student interactions within the context of a simple programming game. We refer to these representations as Worldstates and Codestates. Worldstates, which are representations of the output of the program, are generalizations of Codestates, snapshots of the source code taken when the program is run. Our goal is to incorporate intelligent data-driven...
