Learning Trajectories Toward Energy Understanding
… knowledge during K-12 education. Individualized learning approaches can support this development through appropriate and student-centered learning opportunities. Investigating the individual development of energy understanding requires fine-grained longitudinal data. As part of this dissertation, …

Analyzing student learning trajectories in an introductory programming MOOC
Understanding student learning and behavior in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) can help us make online learning more beneficial for students. We investigate student learning trajectories on the individual problem level in an MITx MOOC teaching introductory programming in Python, considering …

Sampling for network motif detection and estimation of Q-matrix and learning trajectories in DINA model
… analyze students' mastery of skills and learning process based on their responses to test items. The deterministic inputs, noisy ""AND"" gate model (DINA) is a popular psychometric model for cognitive diagnosis. We investigate the estimation of Q-matrix in DINA model. Q matrix is a binary …

Articulated learning trajectories related to the development of algebraic thinking that follow from patterning concepts in middle grades mathematics
The construct of an articulated learning trajectory (ALT) was conceived of and defined to provide a lens through which to view and analyze content development in middle grades mathematics textbooks. The ALTs identified and described were used to characterize the development of patterning and …

A multilevel logistic hidden Markov model for learning under cognitive diagnosis
… consuming and the search itself can hinder the learning of the skill. Educators are hence interested in aiding students by selecting the optimal content sequence for individual learners, specifically which skill one should learn next and which material one should use to study. Such adaptive …

Biased learning of phonological alternations
… correspondence constraints, I model the attested learning trajectories. The observed intermediate stages are correctly predicted, showing that the learning of certain alternations is facilitated when they share structural changes with other alternations. Artificial grammar learning experiments …

Multisensory Integration in Early Toddlerhood: Interrelationships with Context, SES and Expressive Vocabulary
… These language skills form a foundation for learning and achievement later in life, and there is documented evidence that language skills vary by experiences related to socioeconomic status (SES). Language disparities can be measured early in development, and continue to divide throughout …

An exploration of learner autonomy in an international university in Japan
… autonomy as: the capacity to exercise control in learning (a process of identity construction), which amounts to self-definition through self-direction on the basis of authentic values arrived at through self-reading; in relation to the affordances and constraints inherent to the embodied, …

Language learning at scale: Data‐driven and model‐motivated analyses of lexical and morphological development
… series of large‐scale investigations of language learning, using dense datasets and computational models to support generalization across children, over development, among languages, and while distinguishing among theories. In the initial investigation (Chapter 2), we ask: what makes words harder …
