A New Age of Non-Cognitives: Measuring Persistence in Game-based Learning using Bayesian Exploratory Factor Analysis

• In Event: DELT- Frameworks for Student Learning (v)

Short Description

In our proposed research project, we will use Bayesian Exploratory Factor Analysis (BEFA) to explore and expand on the traditional measurement of participants’ persistence on completing levels within a game using log data. This proposal will demonstrate how the progress of GBL may improve the precision of methods for measuring non-cognitive constructs like persistence.
