Temporal emotion-aspect modeling for discovering what students are concerned about in online course forums

Academic Performance Prediction Based on Multisource, Multifeature Behavioral Data

“…• Lifestyle Behaviors (e.g., eating, physical activity, sleep patterns, social tie, and time management) ; and • Learning Behaviors (e.g., class attendance, study duration, library entry, and online learning) ( [7,8,[23][24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]). For example, [2] investigated the incremental validity of the Big Five personality traits in predicting college GPA.…”

“…[24] showed that the degree of effort exerted while working could be strongly correlated with academic performance. Additionally, [32] showed that compared with high-and medium-achieving students, low-achieving students were less emotionally engaged throughout the semester and tended to express more confusions during the final stage of the semester.…”

“…In recent years, compared with primary and secondary education (i.e. K12) [6,10,12,17], more and more attentions have been paid to the academic performance prediction for higher education [7][8][9]14,15,[22][23][24][25]27,28,[30][31][32][36][37][38]. The reasons contributing to this phenomenon warrant further investigation and might include the following.…”

“…Therefore, it is relatively easy to track college students' behaviors, e.g. online learning behaviors captured from massive open online courses (MOOC) and small private online courses (SPOC) platforms [30][31][32][36][37][38]. Second, given the diverse range of activities listed above, it could be difficult for college students to maintain balanced, self-discipline, well-being university experiences, including excellent academic performance.…”

“…To address these challenges, four representative prediction systems (including one online system and three offline systems) are summarized in Table I. We first discuss the online prediction system, System A [32] (proposed by Z. Liu). This system is relatively simple because its data is only captured from either SPOC or MOOC.…”
