A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
The present study demonstrates the possibility of predicting initial item knowledge for English vocabulary and Geography facts using learning data from the user’s interaction with the MemoryLab adaptive learning system. Considering accuracy, speed of forgetting, and response time as potential predictors of initial item knowledge, we evaluate inclusion rates and regression coefficients of lasso regression models fitted during a k-fold cross-validation procedure. Additional modified prediction models are examined for the potential of adaptation to specific learning situations. We conclude that user and item accuracy measures provide the highest predictive power, with measures such as speed of forgetting and response time providing limited and more domain-specific value. Preliminary findings imply the potential to optimize adaptive fact learning by removing predicted known items from the learning set, and should be confirmed by replications in a realistic setting.
