What Is More Important for Student Modeling: Domain Structure or Response Times?

摘要

Many features can be considered when designing a student model for an adaptive educational system. What is the relative importance of different modeling aspects? Where should we focus our attention in developing models for real word applications? We report comparison of two aspects: the choice of a domain model and the utilization of response times. The case study (an adaptive system for practice of basic arithmetic) suggests that response times deserve more attention in student modeling.
