Pbkp_redicting student actions in a procedural training environment

Abstract:

Data mining is known to have a potential for pbkp_redicting user performance. However, there are few studies that explore its potential for pbkp_redicting student behavior in a procedural training environment. This paper presents a collective student model, which is built from past student logs. These logs are first grouped into clusters. Then, an extended automaton is created for each cluster based on the sequences of events found in the cluster logs. The main objective of this model is to pbkp_redict the actions of new students for improving the tutoring feedback provided by an intelligent tutoring system. The proposed model has been validated using student logs collected in a 3D virtual laboratory for teaching biotechnology. As a result of this validation, we concluded that the model can provide reasonably good pbkp_redictions and can support tutoring feedback that is better adapted to each student type.
