Use of a Deep Learning Approach for the Evaluation of Students' Online Learning Cognitive Ability

The cognitive ability evaluation of college students' online learning still faces many challenges. Evaluation of college students' online learning cognitive ability is helpful to monitor the learning effect and progress of students, so as to detect problems in time, make suggestions and take corresponding measures to improve. However, the existing evaluation methods for the cognitive ability of college students' online learning often only focus on the degree of knowledge mastery of students, while ignoring the performance of students' learning strategies, autonomous learning ability and emotional attitude in the online learning process. And it is often impossible to understand the learning status of students in real time. To this end, this article studies the evaluation method of college students’ online learning cognitive ability based on deep learning. The evaluation of online learning cognitive ability of college students is divided into two parts: online learning ability evaluation and learning recursive ability evaluation. By introducing the learning ability layer and the learning recursive ability layer into the dynamic key-value memory network and constructing the corresponding evaluation model, it’s better to evaluate the online learning cognitive ability of college students. Based on the historical learning behavior data of students in the online learning process, the online learning cognitive state is predicted, and the performance of the model is further improved through data enhancement and self-attention mechanism. Experimental results verify the validity of the constructed model.

Reflective Writing in Course Design for Active Learning in Social Work Education

ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores student learning progression through reflective writing on a tertiary-level course in social work. The study is based on the content analysis of three sets of data: student reflective writing, instructor formative feedback on this writing, and student end-of-course reflections. Our findings demonstrate that structured, scaffolded reflection and continuous formative feedback stimulated learning progression, increased awareness of one’s own learning strategies, and supported the adoption of an explorative, reflective stance in students. Therefore, the experimental course design with several reflective tasks created the sought-after intersection of the academic and professional literacies. This design stimulated student engagement and resulted in high attendance. This design is particularly suitable in heterogeneous classrooms and promotes student inclusion and active learning.

Investigation of Progressive Learning within a Statics Course: An Analysis of Performance Retention, Critical Topics, and Active Participation

Previous research has demonstrated a link between prior knowledge and student success in engineering courses. However, while course-to-course relations exist, researchers have paid insufficient attention to internal course performance development. This study aims to address this gap—designed to quantify and thus extract meaningful insights—by examining a fundamental engineering course, Statics, from three perspectives: (1) progressive learning reflected in performance retention throughout the course; (2) critical topics and their influence on students’ performance progression; and (3) student active participation as a surrogate measure of progressive learning. By analyzing data collected from 222 students over five semesters, this study draws insights on student in-course progressive learning. The results show that early learning had significant implications in building a foundation in progressive learning throughout the semester. Additionally, insufficient knowledge on certain topics can hinder student learning progression more than others, which eventually leads to course failure. Finally, student participation is a pathway to enhance learning and achieve excellent course performance. The presented analysis approach provides educators with a mechanism for diagnosing and devising strategies to address conceptual lapses for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) courses, especially where progressive learning is essential.

This study aims to reveal the quality of daily assessment items in the form of MCQs based on effectiveness, reliability coefficient, and item deception. This quantitative descriptive research uses statistical data analysis, which is then processed into a description. The assessment instrument grid used theme 4 elementary school material. The instrument was tested on 20 class V MIN 3 Padang students. The results of this study found that the items in the test instrument were good enough to use because they had an average score of 11,367, a moderate difficulty level with a score of 0.568, and element values were quite reliable. They had good discriminating power with a score of 0.070. Even so, there are still a number of items that are not of high quality in terms of difficulty level, discriminating power, and question distraction, so they need to be revised or replaced with other items.

The faces behind the numbers: pathways for strengthening student learning progress and recovery by engaging in continuous improvement

This article delineates the success of a leadership plan that one middle school in Center Point, Alabama implemented as a response to a Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) designation due to performing in the bottom 5% of all middle schools across the state. School leadership, in partnership with coaching from Studer Education, worked tirelessly to improve school culture and engage in continuous improvement to benefit student achievement. Prioritizing student-centered practices and learning progression allowed leaders to identify barriers to student progress and shifted the focus away from isolated performance. Drawing on three effective execution practices (individual accountability, reliability, and consistency) aided in the middle school’s ability to utilize transparent data to implement strategic continuous improvement. Moreover, leadership partnered with the school community and launched mentoring programs designed to support students with varying social and academic needs. This school’s commitment to continuous improvement speaks to the transformation the school achieved during and post-pandemic.

Tracking and evaluating motion skills in laparoscopy with inertial sensors

BackgroundAnalysis of surgical instrument motion is applicable in surgical skill assessment and monitoring of the learning progress in laparoscopy. Current commercial instrument tracking technology (optical or electromagnetic) has specific limitations and is expensive. Therefore, in this study, we apply inexpensive, off-the-shelf inertial sensors to track laparoscopic instruments in a training scenario.MethodsWe calibrated two laparoscopic instruments to the inertial sensor and investigated its accuracy on a 3D-printed phantom. In a user study during a one-week laparoscopy training course with medical students and physicians, we then documented and compared the training effect in laparoscopic tasks on a commercially available laparoscopy trainer (Laparo Analytic, Laparo Medical Simulators, Wilcza, Poland) and the newly developed tracking setup.ResultsEighteen participants (twelve medical students and six physicians) participated in the study. The student subgroup showed significantly poorer results for the count of swings (CS) and count of rotations (CR) at the beginning of the training compared to the physician subgroup (p = 0.012 and p = 0.042). After training, the student subgroup showed significant improvements in the rotatory angle sum, CS, and CR (p = 0.025, p = 0.004 and p = 0.024). After training, there were no significant differences between medical students and physicians. There was a strong correlation between the measured learning success (LS) from the data of our inertial measurement unit system (LSIMU) and the Laparo Analytic (LSLap) (Pearson’s r = 0.79).ConclusionIn the current study, we observed a good and valid performance of inertial measurement units as a possible tool for instrument tracking and surgical skill assessment. Moreover, we conclude that the sensor can meaningfully examine the learning progress of medical students in an ex-vivo setting.

Influences of Use of Flipped Classroom Models on the Learning Outcomes of Students Majoring in Road and Bridge Engineering Technology

Abstract—The new “Internet+” teaching mode during the COVID-19 pandemic has guaranteed the smooth learning progress of university students in China. High-efficiency reconstruction of time and space for knowledge teaching and internalization based on informationalized teaching mean is an important approach to online learning. A flipped classroom is a teaching mode that is formed through bottom-up exploration. Combined with teaching practical situations, the flipped classroom realizes the transformation from the teacher-centered mode to the student-oriented mode successfully and has important value to the teaching of professional core courses, which are difficult to be learned. In this study, 80 freshmen majoring in Road and Bridge Engineering Technology at Yellow River Conservancy Technical Institute in Henan Province of China were selected as research objects, and Road Survey Design and Lofting was chosen as the teaching course. Under these circumstances, a teaching experiment comparison was designed. The experimental group used flipped classroom technology based on Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) motivation model theory, while the control group used the traditional teaching mode. Research results demonstrate that before the experiment, the learning outcomes of two groups in Road Survey Design and Lofting were basically consistent (P=0.908>0.05) without obvious differences. After finishing the experiment, the post-test results of the control group have not improved significantly compared with the pre-test results (P=0.0938>0.05). However, the post-test results of the experimental group have improved significantly compared with the pre-test results (P < 0.001). The average scores of the experimental group are far higher than that of the control group, thus indicating the evident progress of the experimental group. Noticeable differences in the post-test results between the experimental group and the control group are observed (P < 0.001). The research results are of great significance to enriching the teaching mode of core application courses for engineering majors in university, as they provide evidence that the flipped classroom increases the learning interests and motivation of students and demonstrate the teaching effect of flipped classroom technology in universities.

Core Concepts as a Framework to Assess the Progression of Student Learning in a Ume Curriculum

PURPOSEConceptual frameworks have demonstrated better learning outcomes in undergraduate medical education (UME). We propose developing a conceptual framework based upon core concepts (CCs) in biomedical sciences to link the progression of student learning to program objectives of a recently revised UME curriculum.METHODSOur project involves three steps. Step 1 identifies clinically relevant CCs pertinent to learning objectives of basic science disciplines. Step 2 tags multiple choice questions (MCQs) allowing us to follow students’ progression of conceptual learning across formative and summative assessments and to identify conceptual learning gaps for continuous program improvement. Step 3 will develop enterprise‐grade dashboards to monitor the learner’s conceptual understanding across UME.RESULTSFor Step 1, we identified 7‐10 clinically relevant CCs in the disciplines of physiology, biochemistry, and genetics. We adapted CCs published by discipline‐specific organizations and by Aquifer, Inc. to our clinical presentation‐based curriculum. The selection process and outcomes will be presented at the meeting. For step 2, we established concept categories in Examsoft™ where our MCQs are housed and are already tagged by discipline and clinical presentation. We will present results of ANOVA‐based analysis of student performance data. For Step 3, we will incorporate CCs with One45 Analytics‐based dashboards which draw upon data from Examsoft™ and our Learning Management System. This is a collaboration with our Department of Assessment and Evaluation. A beta version of the dashboard will be presented at the meeting.CONCLUSIONSThis study presents student performance data on concept tagged MCQs. These data will track student learning as well as the efficacy of conceptual clinical presentation frameworks implemented in our revised curriculum. Together with high‐quality systemic dashboards, we can monitor conceptual learning and basic science application in our UME curriculum.
