Toward an Educative EEG-Based neuroIIR System for Adapting Contents

The pursuit of information is an integral aspect of a learner’s daily routine, often facilitated by information retrieval systems. In this study, we explore the correlation between text complexity and reading comprehension through the lens of neuroinformatics. Our objective is to ascertain whether it is feasible to infer the difficulty level of a text for a learner based on their brain activity, quantified by an electroencephalogram (EEG), during the information retrieval process. To accomplish this, we administered a section of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test to our participants, evaluating their average reading fluency. Subsequently, the 18 participants under observation read paragraphs of varying complexity and responded to questions pertaining to the text. Utilizing the amassed data, we trained a deep learning model known as EEGNet to autonomously discern the complexity of the text being read, relying on the EEG signals. Furthermore, we conducted a comparison with previous research that employed a distinct characterization approach and employed a random forest algorithm for classification. The outcomes revealed that the present approach (EEGNet) outperformed the former method, achieving an accuracy rate of 80.83% across all subjects, whereas the random forest algorithm achieved a mere 50.28% accuracy. Our findings suggest the potential to classify the EEG signals in accordance with the level of difficulty a student encounters when comprehending the text. We propose several avenues for extending our work into real-time scenarios.

Development of learning path map of work and energy for high schoolers by using cognitive diagnostic assessment

The conception of work and energy is fundamental to learning physics and is essential to learning other subjects. However, most students still lack knowledge and understanding of work and energy. This may be due to previous research that aimed to develop students using similar teaching methods without considering the individual knowledge state of each student. We, thus, sought to develop the mastery test on work and energy and the learning path map of work and energy using cognitive diagnostic assessment. Participants were 537 tenth graders in Bangkok, Thailand, which were chosen by the multistage random sampling. The mastery test on work and energy developed is divided into six attributes, i.e., (1) work, (2) power, (3) kinetic energy, (4) gravitational potential energy, (5) elastic potential energy, and (6) law of conservation of energy. The test exhibited good psychometric properties, which were evaluated based on item parameters, content validity, construct validity, concurrent validity, classification consistency index, and classification accuracy index. The significant finding was the development of the learning path map of work and energy. The map illustrates students’ learning progression in different attribute profiles regarding work and energy. It proves to be highly beneficial for teachers in designing personalized learning methods for individual students. Additionally, it allows for tracking the learning progress of students until they have a comprehensive understanding of work and energy in all its attributes.
