Cross-Subject Predictive Validity for Learning Outcomes of Delayed Start Behavior
Jordan Gutterman, Ashish Gurung, Lee Branstetter +2
Behavioral detectors provide valuable insights into learner motivation and self-regulation. Among these, delayed start, a new session-level detector, has shown great promise as a v…
AI-Driven Assessment of Human Tutors: Linking Training Performance to Real-Life Practice
Danielle R. Thomas, Marie Cynthia Abijuru Kamikazi, Clara Brandt +2
There exist numerous tutor training platforms. However, few provide AI-driven training and evaluation for human tutors based on real-life performance. We present an AI-driven syste…
Self-Efficacy and Favorability Shape Learning from Tutoring Systems and Paper Practice
Xinfei Cen, Vincent Aleven, Kenneth R. Koedinger +2
Motivational factors such as self-efficacy and how favorably students feel toward practice play a crucial role in shaping learning, particularly in technology-supported environment…
Practice Less, Explain More: LLM-Supported Self-Explanation Improves Explanation Quality on Transfer Problems in Calculus
Eason Chen, Xinyi Tang, Yvonne Zhao +10
We conducted a between-subjects experiment (N=92) comparing three conditions in a calculus learning environment: no self-explanation (control), menu-based self-explanation, and ope…
Assessing the Impact and Underlying Pathways of Sequenced AI feedback on Student Learning
Jie Cao, Chloe Qianhui Zhao, Christian Schunn +3
Feedback is essential for learning, but its effectiveness relies heavily on how well it engages students in the educational process. Generative AI offers novel opportunities to eff…
Chat-Based Support Alone May Not Be Enough: Comparing Conversational and Embedded LLM Feedback for Mathematical Proof Learning
Eason Chen, Sophia Judicke, Kayla Beigh +18
We evaluate GPTutor, an LLM-powered tutoring system for an undergraduate discrete mathematics course. It integrates two LLM-supported tools: a structured proof-review tool that pro…
