Abstract Universities are looking for solutions to engage more students in STEM domains and enhance their learning performance (LP). In this context, gamification is put forward as a solution achieve aim. The present study examined the effect of – building on leaderboards ‐ LP. Furthermore, mediating variables, such intrinsic motivation, self‐efficacy, engagement, background sex, previous gaming experience, undergraduate major, were considered. A pretest‐posttest quasi‐experimental design...
The demand for professionals with expertise in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) continues to grow. To meet this demand, universities are actively seeking strategies engage more students STEM disciplines improve their learning outcomes. One promising approach is gamification, specifically using leaderboards. This study investigates the impact of leaderboard-based gamification on performance 175 a calculus course, focus mediating roles autonomous motivation...
This paper presents a case study on the adoption and impact of new modules in learning analytics dashboard supporting dialogue between student advisors students when advising plan for next academic semester Escuela Superior Politecnica del Litoral, higher education institute Ecuador. The were assessed using mixed‐methods approach. quantitative approach builds data 172 34 programs 4481 sessions 2019 (post) 4747 2018 (pre) to assess use dashboard, level support experienced by advisors,...
Abstract Despite the success of academic advising dashboards in several higher educational institutions (HEI), these are still under‐explored Latin American HEI's. To close this gap, three different universities adapted an existing dashboard, originally deployed at KU Leuven to their own context. In all cases, context was main ruling factor adaptations. paper, we describe adaptions using a framework that focuses on four elements context: Objectives, Stakeholders, Key moment and Interactions....
Abstract In Latin American universities, Learning Analytics (LA) has been perceived as a promising opportunity to leverage data meet the needs of diverse student cohort. Although universities have collecting educational for years, adoption LA in this region is still limited due lack expertise and policies processing using data. order get better picture how existing data‐related practices might affect incorporation institutions, we conducted mixed methods study four (two Chilean two...
One main objective for software developers is to find the right approach design and develop a tool faster effectively. In context of Learning Analytics (LA) in Latin America, this becomes more complicated due lack clear guidelines that could guide Higher Education institutions (HEI) LA tools. Thus, study describes step by methodology tool. The combines phases Design Thinking testing components Human-Computer Interaction theory. It starts from LALA framework, set methodologies guides HEI...
Educational content has become a key element for improving the quality and effectiveness of teaching. Many studies have been conducted on user knowledge modeling using machine-learning algorithms in smart-learning environments. However, few focused to estimate indicators based student interaction. This study presents systematic literature review machine learning smart Two databases were used: Scopus Web Science (WoS), with until August 2023. In addition, manual search was performed at...
This study explores the design of a tabletop system that seeks to bolster argumentative skills Computer Science students. A set four guidelines - positive interdependence, stages, interference, and awareness were derived from user research used for designing prototyping multi-display application. Four students evaluated video prototype; overall results showed application's features have great potential support guidelines. Moreover, students' impressions about prototype's enforcement...
Worldwide, one of the main concerns universities is to reduce dropout rate. Several initiatives have been taken avoid this problem; however, it essential recognize at-risk students as early possible. This article an extension a previous study that proposed predictive model identify at risk from beginning their university degree. The new contribution analysis feature importance for segmented by faculty, degree program, and semester in different models. In addition, we propose based on faculty...
Student dropout and retention are a major concern in Higher Education Institutions(HEIs). HEIs use the benefits of Learning Analytics (LA) dashboards to address this by monitoring student's academic progress identify students at risk. This study adds existing body knowledge, experience designing, implementing, evaluating dashboard embedded an counseling system. Through Design-Based Research methodology, we show process going from needs analysis level, through 3 iterations test evaluate...
Abstract This paper describes the content and evolution of a fourth-year course for medical students on teaching pathographies mental illness. (It is follow-up to Nathan Carlin’s Pathographies Mental Illness that appeared as an Element in Bioethics Neuroethics series published by Cambridge University Press.) The originally centered classic (and some contemporary) memoirs; however, responding student evaluations, newer material now ensures more diversity, with written women people color,...
