Identifying Problem-Solving Solution Patterns Using Network Analysis of Operation Sequences and Response Times

ABSTRACT Process data from educational assessments enhance the understanding of how students answer cognitive items. However, effectively making use of these data is challenging. We propose an approach to identify solution patterns from operation sequences and response times by generating networks from process data and defining network features that extract essential information from them. With these features, we group respondents to a problem-solving task from PISA 2012 using Gaussian mixture models. The results indicate the presence of two and four clusters for groups defined by failure and success on the task, respectively. We interpret the clusters as less-able, low-effort, adaptable, back-and-forth, deliberate, and trial-and-error clusters by considering the cluster-specific feature statistics. The proposed approach sheds light on students’ problem-solving mental processes, which can aid item development and facilitate individualized feedback to students. The method is applicable to many computer-based problems, but a limitation is that the feature definitions can be task-dependent.

Word Problems as a Vehicle for Teaching Computational Thinking

The 4th Industrial Revolution is sweeping the world, incorporating technology into communities. High-tech tools and resources are being developed as part of the digital revolution. In the realm of education, there has been a larger emphasis on coding instruction in order to develop a sufficient number of young people to fill fifty percent of computing-related STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) job openings. Our children and grandchildren must think critically in order to solve the world's ill-structured, unexpected, and intricate issues. Computational thinking, when combined with critical thinking, can produce automatic or semi-automated problem-solving solutions. As a result, computational thinking is becoming increasingly important in science, mathematics, and nearly every other topic. This is demonstrated by Malaysia's recent implementation of computer coding into the school curriculum in order to build 21st century competencies in students. Computational thinking (CT) is one of the conceptual underpinnings required to solve problems successfully and efficiently by combining facts and ideas. In order to solve problems and offer solutions that can be applied in a variety of contexts, computational thinking—i.e., algorithmically, with or without the use of computers—is crucial in computing and information science. It is critical to foster a diversity of abilities and competences among students as to successfully navigate the complexity challenge in the real world. As a result, building a learning environment can be a daunting task for many instructors who lack the tools and research-based expertise to redesign their teaching methods. This conceptual framework has two objectives: (1) developing deep learning and connected computational thinking through a mathematical curriculum instructional model which is capable of improving students' problem-solving skills; and (2) implementing the designed model to assist teachers in education who encountered difficulties when using problem-based curriculum materials. A computational mathematics problem-based learning (CM-PBL) teaching technique is developed to achieve these goals. Students can use the CM-PBL learning framework to simulate and build their own computational models as to aid their self-learning and comprehension of mathematical concepts. It demonstrates that how students can use coding to improve their soft engineering skills.
