Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session reviews data mining and analytics methods that model cognitive and metacognitive learning processes in the context of computer-based learning environments. Recent advancements by researchers in educational data mining and learning analytics communities have produced new methods to represent and understand learners’ efforts to monitor and enact strategies to control their learning during tasks. The aim of this session is to demonstrate methods that produce new understanding of cognition and learning in technology settings, and to share new knowledge they have produced. Additional focus is placed on the observable indicators of student learning these methods produce and time to discuss how these enable educational software to tailor instruction to learners’ specific needs will be allotted.
