Predicting Robust Learning With The Visual Form Of The Moment-By-Moment Learning Curve, Ryan Baker, Arnon Hershkovitz, Lisa Rossi, Adam Goldstein, Sujith Gowda

Ryan S.J.d. Baker

We present a new method for analyzing a student’s learning over time, for a specific skill: analysis of the graph of the student’s moment-by-moment learning over time. Moment-bymoment learning is calculated using a data-mined model which assesses the probability that a student learned a skill or concept at a specific time during learning (Baker, Goldstein, & Heffernan, 2010, 2011). Two coders labeled data from students who used an intelligent tutoring system for college genetics, in terms of seven forms that the moment-by-moment learning curve can take. These labels are correlated to test data on the robustness of students’ learning. We …
