The author first defended the credibility of movement-writing in Chapter 2, Section 3, of a B. Litt.l thesis entitled Social Anthropology and [the] Dance, (Oxford, U.K., 1972). Seven theoretical criteria from Nelson Goodman's Languages of Art (1969) were used to illustrate to examlners who knew nothing about movement-writing in any form that Laban's system was not merely a mnemonic device. The ...

In analytical writing in response to text, students read a complex text and adopt an analytic stance in their writing about it. To evaluate this type of writing at scale, an automated approach for Response to Text Assessment (RTA) is needed. With the long-term goal of producing informative feedback for students and teachers, we design a new set of interpretable features that operationalize the ...

C. W. Bowen and G. M. Bodner “Problem-Solving Processes Used by Graduate Students While Solving Tasks in Organic Synthesis,” International Journal of Science Education, vol. 13, no. 2, pp. 143-158, 1991. Organic synthesis is the branch of chemistry that deals with the step-by-step conversion of relatively simple starting materials into larger, more complicated, target molecules. Synthesis probl...

In this paper, we describe a holistic annotation scheme for coherence quality that requires little expertise on the part of the human annotator; we also present computational systems for evaluating coherence quality in essays. A formidable challenge to reliability when annotating discourse coherence comes from differences among annotators in the inferences that they draw when reading an essay. ...

Medical students following a traditional curriculum get few opportunities to engage in activities such as a literature search, scientific writing, and active and collaborative learning. An analytical essay writing activity (AEWA) in physiology was introduced to first-year students. Each student prepared an essay incorporating new research findings with existing knowledge on a medical topic. Stu...

Neural approaches to automated essay scoring have recently shown state-of-theart performance. The automated essay scoring task typically involves a broad notion of writing quality that encompasses content, grammar, organization, and conventions. This differs from the short answer content scoring task, which focuses on content accuracy. The inputs to neural essay scoring models – ngrams and embe...

Natural language processing and statistical methods were used to identify linguistic features associated with the quality of student-generated paragraphs. Linguistic features were assessed using Coh-Metrix. The resulting computational models demonstrated small to medium effect sizes for predicting paragraph quality: introduction quality r2 = .25, body quality r2 = .10, and conclusion quality r2...

Scott A. Crossley Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia USA scrossleygsu.edu Abstract: This paper provides an agenda for replication studies focusing on second language (L2) writing and the use of natural language processing (NLP) tools and machine learning algorithms. Specifically, the paper introduces a variety of available NLP tools and machine learning algorithms and demonstrates how t...
