Can a System-One LLM Perform Knowledge Tracing When Few or No Learners Are Logged?
Unggi Lee, Haeun Park
Knowledge tracing (KT) models need many logged learners, so a new course or platform starts without a usable model. In LLM-based KT the LLM generates the answer, which we call Syst…
SpecialEduBench: Benchmarking Vision-Language Models on Knowledge, Skill, and Attitude in Language Intervention for Autistic Children
Jihoi Na, Taeyeong Kim, Sungjune Kong +11
Language is the target of most early intervention for autistic children. Because the goal and the method change from child to child, the work falls to a teacher who takes one child…
EduClaw-Bench: A Long-Horizon Benchmark for Pedagogical LLM Agents with Simulated Learners
Unggi Lee, Sookbun Lee, Yeil Jeong +3
Large language models (LLMs) power educational applications from tutoring to essay scoring, but each is a point solution to a single task, and only recently have these point soluti…
Not the Dimension, the Norm: What Matters in Gradient-Free Weight Perturbation of Language Models
Taeyeong Kim, Ahhyun Kim, TaeHyeon Kim +1
Adapting a language model to a task no longer requires training all of its weights, and a line of parameter-efficient methods has driven the trainable count from billions down to a…
Reinforcement Learning for Special Education: Aligning LLM Tutors to Diverse Learners through Disability-Adaptive Training
Unggi Lee, Jihoi Na, Yeil Jeong +2
Large language models are increasingly deployed as intelligent tutors, yet research on aligning them for special education remains absent. Recent work has applied reinforcement lea…
The Tutoring Effectiveness Index: Predicting LLM Math Tutor Quality from Four Conversation Signals
Shim Jaechang, Unggi Lee
Aligning large language models (LLMs) as math tutors typically demands costly reinforcement-learning (RL) training and external LLM judges. We ask whether a frozen model's internal…
BuddyBench: A Privacy-Constrained Multi-Task Benchmark for Pediatric Social-Communication Personalization
Jeyeon Eo, Joo Young Kim, Ran Ju +2
BuddyBench introduces a privacy-constrained multi-task benchmark for pediatric social-communication personalization. Unlike existing neurodevelopmental repositories that primarily…
LLMs Are Already Good Tutors: Training-Free Prompt Optimization for Pedagogical Math Tutoring
Unggi Lee, Minchul Shin, Yeil Jeong +5
Aligning LLMs for math tutoring typically requires RL-based training with multi-GPU infrastructure. We investigate whether training-free prompt optimization-evolving only the syste…
Are Video Models Zero-Shot Learners and Reasoners in Education? EduVideoBench, A Knowledge-Skills-Attitude Benchmark for Educational Video Generation
Unggi Lee, Hoyoung Ahn, Yoon Choi +16
Video generation models (VGMs) are rapidly entering classrooms, yet existing benchmarks evaluate only perceptual quality, intrinsic faithfulness, generic safety, or video as a reas…
TeachObs: A Human-Validated Benchmark for Multimodal Teaching Observation and Model Evaluation
Yeil Jeong, Youngjin Yoo, Jiyoung Bae +5
Classroom videos contain observable teaching practices, but their pedagogical and visual signals are rarely organized in forms suitable for model evaluation. We present \textit{Tea…
ISD-Agent-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating LLM-based Instructional Design Agents
YoungHoon Jeon, Suwan Kim, Haein Son +3
Large Language Model (LLM) agents have shown promising potential in automating Instructional Systems Design (ISD), a systematic approach to developing educational programs. However…
Llama-Polya: Instruction Tuning for Large Language Model based on Polya's Problem-solving
Unggi Lee, Yeil Jeong, Chohui Lee +4
This paper introduces Llama-Polya, an instruction-tuned large language model that integrates Polya's four-step problem-solving framework into its dialogue structure to support math…
Exploring the Role of Automated Feedback in Programming Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Yeonji Jung, Yunseo Lee, Jiyeong Bae +4
Automated feedback systems have become increasingly integral to programming education, where learners engage in iterative cycles of code construction, testing, and refinement. Desp…
Rewarding How Models Think Pedagogically: Integrating Pedagogical Reasoning and Thinking Rewards for LLMs in Education
Unggi Lee, Jiyeong Bae, Jaehyeon Park +7
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as intelligent tutoring systems, yet research on optimizing LLMs specifically for educational contexts remains limited. Recen…
OpenLearnLM Benchmark: A Unified Framework for Evaluating Knowledge, Skill, and Attitude in Educational Large Language Models
Unggi Lee, Sookbun Lee, Heungsoo Choi +11
Large Language Models are increasingly deployed as educational tools, yet existing benchmarks focus on narrow skills and lack grounding in learning sciences. We introduce OpenLearn…
Pedagogical Alignment for Vision-Language-Action Models: A Comprehensive Framework for Data, Architecture, and Evaluation in Education
Unggi Lee, Jahyun Jeong, Sunyoung Shin +12
Science demonstrations are important for effective STEM education, yet teachers face challenges in conducting them safely and consistently across multiple occasions, where robotics…
A Training-Free Large Reasoning Model-based Knowledge Tracing Framework for Unified Prediction and Prescription
Unggi Lee, Joo Young Kim, Ran Ju +2
Knowledge Tracing (KT) aims to estimate a learner's evolving mastery based on interaction histories. Recent studies have explored Large Language Models (LLMs) for KT via autoregres…
