Modelling students' effort using behavioral data

Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Students' effort is often considered a key factor for students' success. It has several related definitions, none of which is widely adopted. In this paper, we define students' effort as the experienced cognitive load, which is the total amount of cognitive resources used during the execution of a given task. We propose an effort model to quantify students' effort based on this construct. Our approach uses behavioral measures (i.e., interaction and eye gaze data). Our preliminary results show that the eye gaze measures have an intermediary relationship with effort, while the interaction measures have a weak relationship with effort and seem slightly complementary to eye gaze measures.
