Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite much excitement with learning analytics, there is still a lack of adoption in the classrooms. Possible reasons may include not having enough time to incorporate the use of analytics, not being familiar enough with specific techniques to readily apply them, or not knowing how data can help shape a curriculum or the classroom experience altogether. Learning analytics is a problem-driven research field, where the domain problem -- the people involved, the subject matter, and the learning environment -- drives the techniques and the solutions that are used. From this perspective, we propose a new framework with a suite of pedagogical questions that can be addressed using data to support decisions made about the curriculum or classroom structure. In addition, we present a case study with 69 participants in a CS1 course as a way to demonstrate how some of these questions are addressed. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of the students' learning experience using an evidence-based approach.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
