Abstract

A preliminary exploratory and predictive model to correlate the academic performance of a sample of 96 students enrolled in different basic engineering courses with cognitive and social constructs is presented. The model integrates several dimensions regarding Multiple Intelligences, Self-Regulation skills and Learning Styles constructs. The exploratory study is carried out with three statistical methods: analysis of principal components, correlation analysis and cluster formation. The prediction of students' final grades was accomplished from three perspectives: i) from the average final grade in each cluster, ii) obtaining rules to classify, a-priori, each student as “pass” or “fail” by means of decision trees, and iii) detecting those dimensions of the constructs that have a larger impact on students' grades, using linear regressions. It is found that the logical-mathematical intelligence has the largest positive impact and the anxiety of the students also has a significant, but negative, impact. It is also found that students who present a high intrinsic motivation are very likely to pass their courses. Additionally, it is found that the average grades in each cluster are the expected ones according to the characteristics defining the cluster. The results are encouraging and may serve to improve instructional design and the elaboration of more tailored didactic resources.
基于认知和社会建构的学生档案的预测模型来提高学习
本文提出了一个初步的探索性和预测性模型,将96名参加不同基础工程课程的学生的学习成绩与认知和社会结构联系起来。该模型整合了多元智能、自我调节技能和学习风格等维度。采用主成分分析、相关分析和聚类形成三种统计方法进行探索性研究。学生期末成绩的预测从三个角度完成:i)从每个聚类的平均期末成绩,ii)通过决策树获得规则,先验地将每个学生分类为“及格”或“不及格”,以及iii)使用线性回归检测对学生成绩影响较大的构式的维度。研究发现,学生的逻辑数学智力对其有最大的正向影响,焦虑对其也有显著的负向影响。研究还发现,表现出高内在动机的学生很可能通过他们的课程。此外,根据定义聚类的特征,发现每个聚类的平均分数都是预期分数。研究结果令人鼓舞,可能有助于改进教学设计和制定更有针对性的教学资源。
