How Do Students Behave When Using A Tutoring System? Employing Data Mining to Identify Behavioral Patterns Associated to The Learning of Mathematics

Abstract

The inclusion of technology in the academic processes has led to constant innovation and investment of resources to offer a first-level educational service, with international standards, methodologies, study plans, and last generation laboratories. This paper focuses on how teachers can make use of an educational technology tool that will allow them to identify patterns that are associated with learning based on human-computer interaction. We present evidence of learning outcomes based on the detection of behaviors in Intelligent Tutoring Systems. These patterns pave the way for the auto-matic identification of patterns in association to students’ learning while using an educational technological tool. The results suggest a model for student’s behavior identification when interacting with the technological tool “Scooter”. This model identifies students with prospective better learning outcomes as well as students with difficulties to solve math prob-lems. Work for the future will analyze data that comes from different set-tings apart from solving exercises in Scooter to prove the hypothesis that there are patterns of behavior associated to learning outcomes in different problem-solving situations presented by educational technology.

SPOC online video learning clustering analysis: Identifying learners' group behavior characteristics

“…It is concluded that learners' implicit and intrinsic characteristics cannot be directly observed and measured, but they can be excavated and perceived through massive data of online learning behavior [46], so as to implement corresponding interventions to promote effective learning or better teaching. Moreover, video in SPOC courses is a preferred form of learning for students to acquire knowledge [52, 65].…”

Handling Big Data in Education: A Review of Educational Data Mining Techniques for Specific Educational Problems

“…Logs of student-computer interaction are a primary source of educational data mining [24]. The web mining methods outlined by Romero and Ventura are widely used in EDM today, both in the mining of web data and other educational data.…”

Prediction of the graduation rate of engineering education students using Artificial Neural Network Algorithms

“…So if engineering education students graduate on time, it will help improve the quality of a university. On the other hand, engineering education students will be helped and reduce the burden of spending on tuition fees (Melendez-Armenta et al, 2020).…”
