Natural language processing (NLP) provides a powerful approach for discourse researchers. However, there remains notable degree of hesitation by some researchers to consider using NLP, at least on their own. The purpose this article is introduce and make available simple NLP (SiNLP) tool. overarching goal the proliferate use in research. also an instantiation empirical evaluation linguistic features measured SiNLP demonstrate strength investigating constructs interest community. Although...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative force in education. Realizing the full potential of AI education requires multidisciplinary and holistic literacy framework that can inform research, practice, policy. This novel ED-AI Lit includes six components: Knowledge, Evaluation, Collaboration, Contextualization, Autonomy, Ethics. stresses importance developing deep understanding how systems function, critically evaluating their implications, fostering collaborative relationships...
The present study examined the extent to which adaptive feedback and just-in-time writing strategy instruction improved quality of high school students’ persuasive essays in context Writing Pal (W-Pal). W-Pal is a technology-based tool that integrates automated evaluation into an intelligent tutoring system. Students wrote pretest essay, engaged with W-Pal’s over course four training sessions, then completed posttest essay. For each session, differentiated for student based on specific...
This study builds upon previous work aimed at developing a student model of reading comprehension ability within the intelligent tutoring system, iSTART. Currently, system evaluates students' self-explanation performance using local, sentence-level algorithm and does not adapt content based on ability. The current leverages natural language processing tools to build models from linguistic properties their self-explanations. Students (n = 126) interacted with iSTART across eight training...
Writing Analytics focuses on the measurement and analysis of written texts for purpose understanding writing processes products, in their educational contexts, improving teaching learning writing. This workshop adopts a critical, holistic perspective which definition "the system" "success" is not restricted to IR metrics such as precision recall, but recognizes many wider issues that aid or obstruct analytics adoption settings, theoretical pedagogical grounding, usability, user experience,...
Writing training systems have been developed to provide students with instruction and deliberate practice on their writing. Although generally successful in providing accurate scores, a common criticism of these is lack personalization adaptive instruction. In particular, tend place the strongest emphasis delivering therefore, overlook additional indices that may contribute students' success, such as affective states during writing practice. This study takes an initial step toward addressing...
