Abstract

In this study, the data mining technique of association rules mining was used to understand better how field-dependent and field-independent learners interacted with a simulation to solve a problem. The study illustrates how data mining can be used to advance educational software evaluation practices. Based on the outcomes, the implications of the study are discussed in terms of the need to develop educational data mining tools that can display results, information, explanations, comments, and recommendations in meaningful ways to non-expert users in data mining.
