Enhanced Learning and Forgetting Behavior for Contextual Knowledge Tracing

Knowledge tracing (KT) is based on modeling students’ behavior sequences to obtain students’ knowledge state and predict students’ future performance. The KT task aims to model students’ knowledge state in real-time according to their historical learning behavior, so as to predict their future learning performance. Online education has become more critical in recent years due to the impact of COVID-19, and KT has also attracted much attention due to its importance in the education field. However, previous KT models generally have the following three problems. Firstly, students’ learning and forgetting behaviors affect their knowledge state, and past KT models have yet to exploit this fully. Secondly, the input of traditional KT models is mainly limited to students’ exercise sequence and answers. In the learning process, students’ answering performance can reflect their knowledge level. Finally, the context of students’ learning sequence also affects their judgment of the knowledge state. In this paper, we combined educational psychology theories to propose enhanced learning and forgetting behavior for contextual knowledge tracing (LFEKT). LFEKT enriches the features of exercises by introducing difficulty information and considers the influence of students’ answering behavior on the knowledge state. In order to model students’ learning and forgetting behavior, LFEKT integrates multiple influencing factors to build a knowledge acquisition module and a knowledge retention module. Furthermore, LFEKT introduces a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to capture the contextual relations of learned sequences. From the experimental results, it can be seen that LFEKT had better prediction performance than existing models on four public datasets, which indicates that LFEKT can better trace students’ knowledge state and has better prediction performance.

TEORI PSIKOLOGI POSITIF DALAM PETA ALIRAN-ALIRAN PSIKOLOGI PENDIDIKAN SERTA IMPLIKASINYA DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

One of the streams that has managed to attract considerable attention to psychologists in the 21st century is the positive psychology school developed by Martin Seligmann. This theory has its own characteristics and has been empirically proven to be able to develop the potential of students. The great role of this theory in developing the potential of students is of course a modality that can be utilized in the world of Islamic Education today in order to assist its role in carrying out its duties to develop the potential of students. However, the problem that arises is that there is no clear map of the position of Positive Psychology theory among the existing schools of Educational Psychology theory which results in the blurring of the orientation of Education. Thus, of course, it is necessary to understand the position map of the theory among the various major schools of existing Educational Psychology theory, so that the implementation of education does not lose direction and footing. Based on the studies conducted in this paper, several important things were found, namely: first, Positive Psychology is a theory of optimizing human potential, it does not depart from mental disorders to normal, but it departs from normal conditions to mental health. Second, the theory of Positive Psychology is a bridge between Humanistic and Transpersonal schools. Positive Psychology Theory at a later stage has implications for the implementation of Islamic Education, where education is directed to theocentric and anthropocentric dimensions.

The predictive effects of foreign language enjoyment, anxiety, and boredom on general and domain-specific English achievement in online English classrooms.

This non-experimental study employed three questionnaires adopted from and validated by prior studies. To carry out the study, an electronic survey created through Wenjuanxing, a computer program for conducting an online survey in China, was employed and convenience sampling technique was used. Guided by the control-value theory of educational psychology, as well as the broaden-and-build theory and the well-being theory of Positive Psychology, this questionnaire study investigated 880 non-English major freshmen' foreign language enjoyment (FLE), foreign language class anxiety (FLCA), and foreign language boredom (FLB) in online English courses, as well as their correlations. Also measured were their joint predictive effects on the general and domain-specific learning outcomes of online English classrooms (reading-to-writing group and speaking group). With statistical analysis carried out by SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 23.0, the results showed that: (1) learners had relatively high levels of FLE and FLCA, but a medium level of FLB; (2) a small negative correlation was found between students' FLE and FLCA, a medium to high negative correlation between FLE and FLB, and a small to medium positive correlation between FLCA and FLB; FLE has a significant positive correlation with learners' actual performance and self-perceived performance, while FLCA and FLB have a significant negative correlation with both; and (3) After entering the same regression model, all three emotions have a significant predictive effect on learners' self-perceived performance while only FLE and FLCA had a significant predictive effect on their actual performance in the online context. Domain-specifically, the reading-and-writing group demonstrated similar trends while there were no significant correlations between emotions and actual performance in the speaking group. The findings can provide pedagogical implications for online foreign language teaching and theoretical contribution to foreign language emotion research.

The Influence of Affective Factors on Autonomous Learning in English Among Non-English Majors in Independent University

The study guided by affective theory, psychology and educational psychology theories, and assisted with questionnaire that investigated 62 non-English majors’ affective status in an independent university in eastern China, discovered that affective problems were universal, and that the learners with high English level had little affective problems while those with low English level had serious affective problems. At the same time, it presented the possible countermeasures against non-English major students’ affective problems according to the actual affective status. The research and the related teaching practice attempted to prove that paying close attention to the non-English major students' affective factors in English learning, and adopting effective countermeasures of affective cultivation are of great importance in overcoming non-English major students’ affective problems, improving their academic grades, and transforming them into the learners of healthy and all-round development.

Creative thinking in the teaching of Chinese language and literature in colleges from the perspective of educational psychology.

In the major of Chinese language and literature, the reading of Chinese language and literature is the most basic part. With the development of internet technology, the teaching of Chinese language and literature has also ushered in new changes. In order to better innovate the teaching methods of Chinese language and literature education according to the emerging internet technology, this study applies the scaffolding teaching model based on educational psychology to Chinese language teaching. Firstly, the educational psychology and scaffolding teaching theory are analyzed, and a scaffolding teaching model of educational psychology is proposed. Secondly, this model is applied to the teaching of Chinese language and literature majors in colleges, and teaching experiments are carried out. The results show that the Chinese language and literature reading anxiety of the students in the experimental class has been alleviated to a certain extent. After using the scaffolding teaching model based on human-computer interaction and educational psychology to conduct teaching experiments, the average reading anxiety of the experimental class is 67.13 points, and the average reading anxiety of the control class is about 76.52 points. The average post-test reading anxiety of the experimental class is 9.39 points lower than that of the control class. The students’ Chinese language and literature scores improve after the experiment. Therefore, the scaffolding teaching model based on educational psychology can be used in the teaching of Chinese language and literature majors in colleges and universities. This study can realize the effective teaching inside and outside the classroom of Chinese language and literature in colleges and universities, promote the deep integration of educational psychology and the teaching of Chinese language and literature, and provide a new teaching idea for Chinese language and literature teachers.

Editorial

This editorial explores some of the issues in economics education by considering the who, why, what, and how of tertiary economics teaching. It argues that different cohorts of students, categorized by their degree of enrolment or the intensity of their exposure to university economics, may have different objectives for studying the subject, and this may affect what we should be teaching them and how we should be teaching them. It also argues that reasonable approaches to economic epistemology suggest the importance of teaching economics from a range of theoretical perspectives and that at least some of our students should be given an account of what constitutes economic knowledge. The editorial also poses the question of how practices in economics education reflect the theory of education and educational psychology, and whether there might be value in making these links clearer. It suggests that all of these issues are fodder for thinking and research in economics education and that the objective of Advances in Economics Education is to publish work on these questions in order to foster good experiences for economics teachers and students.

Psychological healing function of poetry appreciation based on educational psychology and aesthetic analysis.

With the development of society, the rapidly developing social environment has played a significant role in the particular group of college students. College students will inevitably suffer setbacks and psychological obstacles in their studies and daily life. This work aims to ameliorate college students’ various mental illnesses caused by anxiety and confusion during the critical period of status transformation. Educational psychology theory, aesthetic theory, and poetry appreciation are applied to the mental health education of college students to obtain a satisfying psychological healing effect. First, this work summarizes the connotation and characteristics of college student’s mental health and defines educational psychology. Secondly, the long tradition of Chinese poetry teaching is introduced. Besides, the theoretical basis of poetry therapy and aesthetic psychology is expounded, and foreign poetry is discussed. In addition, poetry appreciation is used to promote personality shaping and psychological healing of college students based on the theory of educational psychology and poetry appreciation psychotherapy. In addition, mental health education for college students is studied from the perspectives of psychological health, mental health education, college students’ mental health education, and appreciation of ancient poetry. In addition, the principle and significance of college students’ mental health education are discussed from the perspective of poetry appreciation. Finally, an experimental study is conducted on college students and patients in a specific hospital department by issuing questionnaires to verify the practical application effect of this method in psychotherapy. The survey results indicate that the scores of college students who have completed a one-semester poetry appreciation course in different dimensions of mental disorders are lower than those of those who have not completed the course. At the same time, in the scores of 16 personality traits, the positive trait scores of the experimental group are higher than those of the control group. Comparing scores before and after class also reflects the positive effect of poetry appreciation intervention on college students’ personality shaping. It can be concluded that poetry appreciation has a strong effect on promoting college students’ mental health and personality shaping and improving college students’ psychological problems.

Influence of deep learning-based journal reading guidance system on students' national cognition and cultural acceptance.

The purpose is to explore new cultivation modes of college students’ national cognition and cultural acceptance. Deep learning (DL) technology and Educational Psychology theory are introduced, and the influence of art journal reading on college students’ national cognition and cultural acceptance is analyzed under Educational Psychology. Firstly, the background of Educational Psychology, national cognition and cultural acceptance, and learning system are discussed following a literature review. The DL technology is introduced to construct the journal reading guidance system. The system can provide users with art journals and record the user habits like reading duration and preferences. Secondly, hypotheses are proposed, and a questionnaire survey is designed, with 12 specific indicators to investigate and collect research data. Finally, the collected data are analyzed. The results show that women’s cognition of Chinese traditional culture, Chinese excellent revolutionary culture, and Chinese national identity is higher than that of men. By comparison, men’s cognition of Chinese advanced socialist culture is higher than women’s. After using the journal reading guidance system, the cognition of female college students on traditional Chinese culture is improved by 16.3%. Before and after reading art journals, the overall national cognition and cultural acceptance of Minority students are higher than that of Han students. The overall cognition of Literature and History students is higher than that of Science and Engineering students in traditional Chinese culture and China’s excellent revolutionary culture and lower in advanced Chinese socialist culture and Chinese national identity. The overall cognition of college students’ party members to the advanced socialist culture is higher than league members. As students read more art journals through the guidance system, their overall national cognition and cultural acceptance have increased. Therefore, reading art journals can promote college students’ national cognition and cultural acceptance. A national cognition and cultural acceptance promotion system that conforms to the current situation of college students is constructed. The finding provides a reference for developing complex emotion recognition technology in human-computer interaction.

Application of Educational Psychology Based on Improved SPBO Optimization Algorithm in English Learning.

It is an inevitable process of current social development to apply the motivational theory of educational psychology in the field of English teaching. The current method is to start with the introduction of new language teaching projects by teachers, and then use excellent training to make students master the knowledge they have learned. The flaw is that such teaching is simplistic in the present. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes an improved SPOB optimization algorithm, aiming to study the application of motivation theory in educational psychology to current English teaching. By using the formula definition for the excellent and poor students in the improved SPBO optimization algorithm and the criterion function in the cluster analysis, the application process of motivational design model in oral English teaching is explored through the application of SPBO algorithm. And through the investigation and analysis of the experimental process of the application of incentive design model in oral English teaching, the results showed that 77.2% of teachers chose interest incentives, 34.8% of teachers chose cooperation-competition incentives, and 32.6% of teachers chose emotional incentives.

QoE oriented intelligent online learning evaluation technology in B5G scenario

Students' demand for online learning has exploded during the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. However, due to their poor learning experience, students' dropout rate and learning performance of online learning are not always satisfactory. The technical advantages of Beyond Fifth Generation (B5G) can guarantee a good multimedia Quality of Experience (QoE). As a special case of multimedia services, online learning takes into account both the usability of the service and the cognitive development of the users. Factors that affect the Quality of Online Learning Experience (OL-QoE) become more complicated. To get over this dilemma, we propose a systematic scheme by integrating big data, Machine Learning (ML) technologies, and educational psychology theory. Specifically, we first formulate a general definition of OL-QoE by data analysis and experimental verification. This formula considers both the subjective and objective factors (i.e., video watching ratio and test scores) that most affect OL-QoE. Then, we induce an extended layer to the classic Broad Learning System (BLS) to construct an Extended Broad Learning System (EBLS) for the students' OL-QoE prediction. Since the extended layer can increase the width of the BLS model and reduce the redundant nodes of BLS, the proposed EBLS can achieve a trade-off between the prediction accuracy and computation complexity. Finally, we provide a series of early intervention suggestions for different types of students according to their predicted OL-QoE values. Through timely interventions, their OL-QoE and learning performance can be improved. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Teaching of College English Writing from the Perspective of Multimedia Education

The rapid development of science and technology, the rapid updating of computer technology, the constant networking, and computerisation of society are ushering in a new era in which computer technology and various media are used to process and disseminate information. Multimedia technology has also been mentioned and developed in the field of education. Its intervention has had a significant impact on education, leading to a renewed conception of educators, educational methods, and forms of learning. This paper is based on educational theory, educational planning theory, and educational psychology theory, starting from the combination of network multimedia and college English writing instruction through detailed demand analysis and system design, fully using modern information technology to build a multimedia network learning platform of blended college English writing instruction. This paper examines the application of multimedia technology in blended learning college English writing. Based on the reading and collecting of a large number of materials, it combines the long-term experience of teaching practice, the concept of multimedia, characteristics, application status, and development trends of multimedia technology; in-depth analysis of the current situation and problems faced by blended learning English writing in college summarizes the application of multimedia curriculum in teaching practice and feedback on the use of multimedia curriculum in teaching English writing in college. The experiments showed that the P value of students’ attitude toward English writing and multimedia teaching method is less than 0.05, which showed that the multimedia teaching method could improve students’ self-discovery ability and enhance the learning effect; the repetition of multimedia teaching material conforms to the memory rules and effectively helps students to remember what they learn repeatedly.

Construction and Application of College English Multiple Intelligence Teaching Model Based on Internet of Things

An RFID sensor is installed above the classroom door, and the scanning distance is set to 8 m to identify the composite campus cards of incoming and outgoing teachers and students, so as to realize automatic statistics of teachers’ theoretical teaching workload and automatic attendance of students’ theoretical class hours. The system automatically starts the multimedia equipment just 5 minutes before class and conducts self-checks on all devices in advance, reducing teachers’ preclass operation steps. The multimedia management system of all classrooms is connected to the campus network and is centrally controlled by the cloud system. When the multimedia equipment in a classroom fails, it can directly instruct teachers to change to an idle classroom. Using the relevant theories of educational psychology and teaching theory, the WPBL teaching model based on the theory of multiple intelligences is expounded and demonstrated. It focuses on expounding theories and ideas; relationships and structures; and environment and resources and conducts in-depth discussions on relevant design rationales and architectural levels. Research has found that students are more interested in reading English than before. The reason is that in the English reading class of the experimental class, basically every student can have their own teaching activities, and more students like to participate in these activities. Applying the theory of multiple intelligences to English reading teaching has played a positive role in stimulating students’ interest in reading. Multiple intelligence English reading activities play an important role in improving students’ English reading performance. Through various teaching activities, the students in the experimental class are more interested and confident in the English reading class. Applying the theory of multiple intelligences to the English reading class can improve the students’ English reading performance and reading ability. In order to apply the theory of multiple intelligences to actual English reading teaching, when designing personalized English reading activities, teachers should learn to combine the theory with the purpose and content of English reading teaching.

Network Multimedia Table Tennis Teaching Design Based on Embedded Microprocessor

Multimedia technology and network technology have been rapidly developed. Embedded Micro Processor Unit (MPU) is a processor with a data width of more than 32 bits, which has relatively high performance and high price. Different from the traditional general-purpose computer, due to the limitation of system size and power consumption, the embedded microprocessor only retains related functions. Embedded processors currently mainly include Am186/88, PowerPC, MIPS, ARM, and other mainstream series, among which ARM occupies the main market share. Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) is a variety of teaching activities carried out under the assistance of computers, discussing the teaching content. The implementation of computer-assisted teaching has followed the pace of China’s education system reform. As far as teaching is concerned, it has not only caused changes in the environment and teaching methods, but most importantly, it has brought about the renewal of educational thoughts and concepts, especially a series of changes in the educational system, methods, and content. This article is based on educational theory, educational planning theory, and educational psychology theory, starting from the integration of network multimedia and table tennis course learning, grasping the teaching characteristics of table tennis course, doing detailed demand analysis and system design, and making full use of advanced information technology that has created a table tennis multimedia network teaching platform. This article discusses the design, development, and application research of the network multimedia table tennis teaching system based on the embedded microprocessor through teaching experiments. Based on the network multimedia table tennis, the network multimedia teaching, extension of the system to other physical education teaching provides suggestions and references and explores the future development direction of the network multimedia teaching system through teaching methods. The experiment proves that each test score of the experimental group is tested by a pair of samples, indicating that the application of the platform increases the communication channels and knowledge acquisition; the method facilitates the management of teachers in teaching and improves the degree of informatization of course teaching.

Then, the correlation between positive psychology and the education of college students' outlook on life is explored, and their mutual connection is analyzed. The results are as follows: 77.4% of the college students have periodical aims and work hard for them; 80.8% of the students think that the realization of life goals rely on hard work, accounting for the largest proportion; when they encounter setbacks, more than 80% of the students choose to work hard to overcome them; 69.2% students think that their outlook on life comes from self-learning and exploration. According to college students' outlook on life in China and other countries, there are many problems in the education of college students' outlook on life, and the teaching quality of the education of college students' outlook on life is backward. The combination of positive psychology and college students' education of college students' outlook on life under the theory of educational psychology provides new ideas and ways for college students' education of college students' outlook on life. The conclusion of this study promotes the innovation of the education of college students' outlook on life.

A Study to Promote Students' Non-cognitive Ability——Based on Educational Psychology Theory

In recent years, some specific non-cognitive abilities gradually attract the attention of the education circle, including curiosity, self-management ability, adaptability to changes, conscientiousness, flexibility, and the ability to cooperate with heterogenous partners effectively. These non-cognitive abilities as the key skills that the students will need in society can not only affect their school records and education choices during their teenage, but also exert an influence on their longer-term performance and living quality after graduation. Presently, people have reached a consensus on the importance and cultivability of non-cognitive skills, and a series of education revolutions have been triggered internationally. Under this background, how to improve the students’ non-cognitive abilities becomes the research focus of this paper. The paper combed the concept of non-cognitive abilities, reviewed and analyzed the non-cognitive ability factors that can affect scholastic achievement, and put forward relevant suggestions.

CHILD-FRIENDLY SCHOOL IN THE HUMANISTIC LEARNING THEORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

The number of acts of violence that occur in the school environment causes a lack of public trust in the world of education. The school environment, which was originally a safe and comfortable place to study for students, has now become a scary and unsafe place for children. Because of these problems, schools must be a safe and comfortable place for children so that the potential contained in children can be developed. Child-friendly schools are one of the models or educational programs that can be applied in a school environment that can provide security and comfort for students in carrying out the learning process. This study aims to describe and analyze child-friendly schools in humanistic learning theory from the perspective of Islamic education psychology. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach. The result of this study is that there is a relationship between child-friendly schools and humanistic learning theory in Islamic educational psychology. This is based on the results of the similarity between the concept of a child-friendly school and the humanistic learning theory that focuses on developing the potential contained in students and student-centered learning processes. These two concepts both focus on humanizing humans by using learning methods, methods, and strategies, as well as child-friendly learning models so that they can develop the potential that exists in students.

PIMCA: A New Alternatives to Physics Learning Model

The general development of knowledge in physics particulary, requires the ability to understand the right and obey the principles. This study purposed to carried out the use of learning models to ensure a quality learning process with the right concepts and avoid misconceptions. The learning model is also adaptive to the 4.0 era demands and the special situation of the pandemic era. The learning model is PIMCA (presentation-idea mapping-conceptualization-assessment formative). The PIMCA learning model is based on the main theories of educational psychology, such as behavioristic, cognitive, constructivist, and humanistic. It was conducted to students in the physics education department at Manado State University, used experimental study in various fields of physics studies such as waves, optics, electricity, and magnetism, it was found that the average achievement of learning progress from the pre-test and post-test was 73.14%. Likewise, in terms of conceptual understanding of physics, namely from idea maps and concept maps, an average increase of up to 84% is obtained. The major findings of this study indicate that the PIMCA learning model can be effectively used as an alternative in learning physics. Study using PIMCA learning models needs to be continued to be applied to the learning of physics in the field of mechanics and modern physics, as well as in the learning of mathematics, science, including biology-chemistry-geology and astronomy, and engineering.

Changing the foundations of faculty development by developing a quality learning environment

IntroductionFaculty development should be based on the tenets of adult education, emphasizing active learning, engagement, relevance, and opportunities for application. The traditional approach, however, has focused on providing content in an instructor-centered fashion, relying predominantly on passive learning with infrequent learner engagement, minimal learner preparation, and poor use of performance assessment to drive growth. PerspectiveBy modeling the principles of educational psychology and adult learning theory (including involving the learner in the design and outcomes of the learning experience, using active learning strategies, and facilitating relationship development between learners and facilitators), faculty development can be transformed into a growth focused Quality Learning Environment (QLE). ImplicationsHere, we call for a redesign of faculty development around the principles of a QLE as an investment in faculty growth and a healthier and more innovative faculty culture. A novel, four-stage approach is offered to support this transformation.

Analysis of Learning Motivation and Burnout of Malaysian and Chinese College Students Majoring in Sports in an Educational Psychology Perspective.

The purposes are to deepen the understanding of the correlation between learning motivation and learning burnout and thereby stimulate the learning motivation of college students. According to the theory of educational psychology, mechanism of learning motivation, and causes of learning burnout are analyzed. The learning motivation and learning burnout of college students majoring in sports are taken as the breakthrough point. The learning motivation and learning burnout situation of Chinese and Malaysian students majoring in sports are surveyed and compared through questionnaires. In addition, Chinese students majoring in sports are taken as examples to analyze the impact of learning motivation on learning burnout. The correlations between various dimensions are analyzed to determine the impact of learning motivation on learning burnout. The total learning motivation scores of students from the Sport School of Zhengzhou University and the University of Malaya Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences are 122.3 ± 22.4 and 140.2 ± 23.6, respectively, and their average scores for each question are 3.60 and 4.07, respectively. The total learning burnout scores of students from the Sport School of Zhengzhou University and the University of Malaya Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences are 58.2 ± 8.95 and 53.6 ± 7.34, respectively. The learning motivation of Malaysian college students majoring in sports is slightly stronger than Chinese students. Compared with Malaysia, the learning burnout of college students majoring in sports in China is extra apparent, mainly exhibited in the two dimensions of depression and a low sense of achievement. The learning motivation and learning burnout of college students majoring in sports are negatively correlated; that is, the stronger the learning motivation, the weaker the learning burnout; on the contrary, the weaker the learning motivation, the more severe the learning burnout. In conclusion, learning burnout of college students can be reduced by correcting and stimulating their learning motivation and improving their learning self-efficacy.
