Automated Scoring of Chinese Grades 7-9 Students' Competence in Interpreting and Arguing from Evidence

Cong Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that at least 800 human-scored student responses were needed as the training sample size for accurately building scoring models in automated scoring of Chinese written responses. There was nearly perfect agreement between human scoring and computer-automated scoring for both holistic and analytic scores.

Combining Machine Learning and Qualitative Methods to Elaborate Students' Ideas About the Generality of their Model-Based Explanations

Joshua M. Rosenberg et al.

Summary: This study utilized machine learning and human-driven interpretive coding to develop a novel construct map for assessing students' consideration of generality in science practices, revealing a more nuanced evaluation of their meaningful participation. Unsupervised machine learning methods were used to revise the construct map, while supervised machine learning methods demonstrated some viability for future analyses, highlighting the importance of combining machine learning and human-driven approaches in understanding students' complex involvement in science practices.

Testing the Impact of Novel Assessment Sources and Machine Learning Methods on Predictive Outcome Modeling in Undergraduate Biology

Roberto Bertolini et al.

Summary: This study explores the effectiveness of incorporating concept inventories and using machine learning methods to predict and address attrition in undergraduate science courses. The results show that including course-specific data significantly improves prediction performance, with ensemble ML methods yielding higher AUC values compared to non-ensemble techniques. Logistic regression performed the poorest and increasing corpus size did not impact prediction success meaningfully. The study discusses the potential roles of novel assessment types and ML techniques in enhancing predictive learning analytics and reducing attrition in undergraduate science education.
