Generalizing and Extending a Predictive Model for Standardized Test Scores Based On Cognitive Tutor Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work demonstrates that process data from intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) can be used to predict student outcomes on high-stakes, standardized tests. Such models are important if ITSs are to be used for formative assessment and as replacements for external assessments. Recent work used various measures of learning efficiency and performance from problem-level, aggregate data from Carnegie Learning’s Cognitive Tutor to predict standardized test scores on the state of Virginia’s Standards of Learning exam. We generalize this model to a different school district, state, and standardized test and examine extending the model using finer-grained data.

Predicting Standardized Test Scores from Cognitive Tutor Interactions
Cognitive Tutors are primarily developed as instructional systems, with the goal of helping students learn. However, the systems are inherently also data collection and assessment systems. In this paper, we analyze data from over 3,000 students in a school district using Carnegie Learning’s Middle School Mathematics tutors and model performance on standardized tests. Combining a standardized pr...
متن کاملTowards constructing an Integrative, Multi-Level Model for Cognition: The Function of Semantic Networks
Integrated approaches try to connect different constructs in different theories and reinterpret them using a common conceptual framework. In this research, using the concept of processing levels, an integrated, three-level model of the cognitive systems has been proposed and evaluated. Processing levels are divided into three categories of Feature-Oriented, Semantic and Conceptual Level based o...
متن کاملApplying cognitive modeling to meta-cognitive skills
The goal of our research is to investigate whether a Cognitive Tutor can be made more effective by extending it to help students acquire help-seeking skills. We present a preliminary model of help-seeking behavior that will provide the basis for a Help-Seeking Tutor Agent. The model, implemented by 57 production rules, captures both productive and unproductive help-seeking behavior. As a first ...
متن کاملAssessing Student Proficiency in a Reading Tutor That Listens
This paper reports results on using data mining to extract useful variables from a database that contains interactions between the student and Project LISTEN’s Reading Tutor. Our approach is to find variables we believe to be useful in the information logged by the tutor, and then to derive models that relate those variables to student’s scores on external, paper-based tests of reading proficie...
