Automated Essay Scoring (AES) using neural networks has helped increase the accuracy and efficiency of scoring students' written tasks. Generally, the improved accuracy of neural network approaches has been attributed to the use of modern word embedding techniques. However, which word embedding techniques produce higher accuracy in AES systems…

Prediction of student performance is one of the most important subjects of educational data mining. Artificial neural networks are seen to be an effective tool in predicting student performance in e-learning environments. In the studies carried out with artificial neural networks, performance predictions based on student scores are generally made,…

The aim of this study is to investigate the causes of reading problems experienced by third-grade students because of the instructional malpractices in education and develop a modeling with artificial neural networks. It was carried out according to the exploratory sequential model and consisted of two stages. In the qualitative part, a data pool…

Purpose: This study aims to identify how objective indicators of destination country risk differentiate business study abroad programs from those in other academic disciplines. Design/methodology/approach: The authors trained a neural network model on six years of student-initiated inquiries about study abroad programs at a large US university.…

In this paper, a new evaluation method for under-graduate education quality is proposed based on Artificial Intelligence Neural Network Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm and stress testing. Using this method, a publically available indicator pool is constructed, consisting of 19 variables in 4 dimensions such as Teaching Attitude, Teaching Content,…

We sought to apply natural language processing to the task of automatic risk of bias assessment in preclinical literature, which could speed the process of systematic review, provide information to guide research improvement activity, and support translation from preclinical to clinical research. We use 7840 full-text publications describing…

Understanding the mechanism of emotion regulation and the formation of emotional engagement can improve online learning persistence and academic performance. This study was set to pinpoint the potential pathways between emotion regulation and emotional engagement through meta-emotion and develop a predictive model for online emotional engagement.…

This review covers the core concepts and design decisions of TensorFlow. TensorFlow, originally created by researchers at Google, is the most popular one among the plethora of deep learning libraries. In the field of deep learning, neural networks have achieved tremendous success and gained wide popularity in various areas. This family of models…

This study aims to compare the performances of the artificial neural network, decision trees and discriminant analysis methods to classify student achievement. The study uses multilayer perceptron model to form the artificial neural network model, chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) algorithm to apply the decision trees method and…

In this study, classifications were made from the data obtained from the Health-Related Physical Fitness Report cards and BMIs of students through data mining methods, artificial neural networks, and decision trees models. Then the classification performances of both models were compared. The body weight and height measurements of the students in…

Student performance is affected by their knowledge which changes dynamically over time. Therefore, employing recurrent neural networks (RNN), which are known to be very good in dynamic time series prediction, can be a suitable approach for student performance prediction. We propose such a neural network architecture containing two modules: (i) a…

Due to the growing demand for information technology skills, programming education has received increasing attention. Predicting students' programming performance helps teachers realize their teaching effect and students' learning status in time to provide support for students. However, few of the existing researches have taken the code that…

As a high-impact educational practice, service-learning has demonstrated success in positively influencing students' overall development, and much work has been done on investigating student learning outcomes from service-learning. A particular direction is to model students' learning outcomes in the context of their learning experience, i.e., the…

To provide insight into online learners' interests in various knowledge from course discussion texts, modeling learners' sentiments and interests at different granularities are of great importance. In this article, the proposed framework combines a deep convolutional neural network and a hierarchical topic model to discover the hidden structure of…

Recent research suggests that neural networks, algorithms designed to reflect the human brain's behavior to recognize patterns, can be used to develop data dashboards that provide teachers with more specific and frequent feedback to improve their instruction (Jacobs et al., 2022). This qualitative case study examines six teachers' perceptions of…
