Abstract
As people have become accustomed to non-face-to-face education because of the COVID-19 pandemic, adaptive and personalized learning is being emphasized in the field of education. Learning paths suitable for each student may differ from those normally provided by teachers. To support coaching based on the concept of adaptive learning, the first step is to discover the relationships among the concepts in the curriculum provided in the form of a knowledge graph. In this study, feature reduction for the target knowledge-concept was first performed using Elastic Net and Random Forest algorithms, which are known to have the best performance in machine learning. Deep knowledge tracing (DKT) in the form of a dual-net, which is more efficient because of the already slimmer data, was then applied to increase the accuracy of feature selection. The new approach, termed the optimal knowledge component extracting (OKCE) model, was proven to be superior to a feature reduction approach using only Elastic Net and Random Forest using both open and commercial datasets. Finally, the OKCE model showed a meaningful knowledge-concept graph that could help teachers in adaptive and personalized learning.
