Discriminating Task Solving Strategies Using Statistical and Analytical Methods

چکیده
We have recorded the behaviour of several users solving the same task with an interactive database program. Since the number of users exceeds that of strategies, multiple users will have a strategy in common. Our aim is to find groups of users sharing the same strategy. Following each of three methods (correlation, intersection and exclusion) we define a comparative metric among task solving behaviour. For multiple users, we represent these measures by a matrix system, to find groups of users with common strategies. Multidimensional scaling or analytic interpretation indicates distinct user groups.

Quantification of task related activity by statistical and analytical methods
Behaviour of expert and novice database users solving the same task was recorded. Several successful strategies were identified. Since there are more users than strategies, some users applied the same strategy. The aim was to develop methods grouping users with common strategy. Following three approaches (correlation, intersection, and exclusion), a metric among task solving behavioural sequenc...

متن کاملA New Approach for Solving Heat and Mass Transfer Equations of Viscoelastic Nanofluids using Artificial Optimization Method
The behavior of many types of fluids can be simulated using differential equations. There are many approaches to solve differential equations, including analytical and numerical methods. However, solving an ill-posed high-order differential equation is still a major challenge. Generally, the governing differential equations of a viscoelastic nanofluid are ill-posed; hence, their solution is a c...
متن کاملReading Strategy Use and Field of Study: A Mixed-methods Study
This study was an attempt to explore the reading strategy use of Iranian M.A. students across three different fields of study. Eighty-two M.A. students of power engineering, physics, and communicationwere selected by a Nelson test and the reading comprehension section of a TOEFL. The reading comprehension section of the TOEFL served also as a specific task which helped participants report their...
