The current study explored relations between non-cognitive traits (Grit, Learning Orientation, Performance Orientation), reading skill, and performance across three experiments conducted in the context of two intelligent tutoring systems, iSTART and Writing Pal. Results showed that learning outcomes (comprehension score, holistic essay score) were…

Direct linkSnow, Erica L.; Likens, Aaron D.; Allen, Laura K.; McNamara, Danielle S. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
Game-based environments frequently afford students the opportunity to exert agency over their learning paths by making various choices within the environment. The combination of log data from these systems and dynamic methodologies may serve as a stealth means to assess how students behave (i.e., deterministic or random) within these learning…

McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Likens, Aaron D.; Johnson, Amy M.; Guerrero, Tricia A.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Research suggests that promoting metacognitive awareness can increase performance in, and learning from, intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs). The current work examines the effects of two metacognitive prompts within iSTART, a reading comprehension strategy ITS in which students practice writing quality self-explanations. In addition to comparing…

Allen, Laura K.; Jacovina, Matthew E.; Dascalu, Mihai; Roscoe, Rod D.; Kent, Kevin M.; Likens, Aaron D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
This study investigates how and whether information about students' writing can be recovered from basic behavioral data extracted during their sessions in an intelligent tutoring system for writing. We calculate basic and time-sensitive keystroke indices based on log files of keys pressed during students' writing sessions. A corpus of prompt-based…
