Abstract:Mathematics problem‐solving is a fundamental aspect of school mathematics that requires an integrated set of skills, such as comprehending the problems and mathematics computation. Providing useful problem‐solving interventions and instructions is essential for students who are English learners (ELs) with learning disabilities or at risk for learning disabilities in mathematics (LDM). This study aims to synthesise current word problem‐solving intervention studies targeted at improving the mathematic problem‐so… Show more
“…For instance, students who fall into the high-high quadrant may benefit from challenging and rigorous academic programs that demand a high level of both result-oriented and process-oriented investment. Conversely, students in the low-low quadrant may require scaffolded support (Lei & Xin, 2023) and motivational strategies to enhance their engagement and investment in academic activities. Our study has theoretical implications in the following aspects: (a) AIM model introduces a novel approach to student performance prediction within the field of educational analytics.…”
This study presents the Academic Investment Model (AIM) as a novel approach to predicting student academic performance by incorporating learning styles as a predictive feature. Utilizing data from 138 Marketing students across China, the research employs a combination of machine learning clustering methods and manual feature engineering through a four-quadrant clustering technique. The AIM model delineates student investment into four quadrants based on their time and energy commitment to academic pursuits, distinguishing between result-oriented and process-oriented investments. The findings reveal that the four-quadrant method surpasses machine learning clustering in predictive accuracy, highlighting the robustness of manual feature engineering. The study's significance lies in its potential to guide educators in designing targeted interventions and personalized learning strategies, emphasizing the importance of process-oriented assessment in education. Future research is recommended to expand the sample size and explore the integration of deep learning models for validation.
