Text sentiment classification in NLP is a compromising method to exploit the constructive feedback to improve teaching quality. This paper captures the course reviews from online learning platform China University MOOC as the dataset, and uses an aspect-level sentiment classification method to analyze the course evaluation, via a graph convolution network (GCN) to characterize the syntactic dependency between context words and various aspects of sentences, and decide the emotions described by multiple non-adjacent Chinese words. As for the 1837 comments of online courses, there is obvious aggregation in the aspect of extraction. Most of the comments mainly focus on the two aspects of course and teacher, and a few comments describe other aspects related to the course. The results demonstrate that the accuracy of the model is more than 80%. Additionally, a visual interface is designed to provide the sentiment analysis results no matter what data set of course reviews is given, and make the graph learning based sentiment analysis tool user-friendly.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125535839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the questionnaire concerning online education conducted by Xiamen University during the pandemic, this essay introduces relational embedding theory, and uses descriptive statistics, factor analysis and correlation analysis methods to analyze the influence of teacher-student interaction on online learning engagement. According to the results, teacher-student interaction exerts a significantly positive influence on learning engagement, and it has a stronger influence on behavioral engagement. Different interaction modes exert great influence on learning engagement. Synchronous interaction has a stronger influence on engagement, especially on emotional engagement than asynchronous interaction. The connectivity between teacher-student interaction and learning engagement is in relation to the forms and methods of online teaching. Therefore, engagement can be enhanced and improved mainly from three dimensions: teachers and students, platform-technology, and teacher-student interaction.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131666229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With gradual decrease of class length and credits of College English course, college English teaching needs to be extended beyond lectures in class with more teaching contents to promote after-class teaching and learning. Hopefully, blended learning model based on intelligent learning platform has been a new channel to promote English learning. Based on WELearn learning platform, this study explores the blended teaching model that uses online platform and offline entity classroom, in which 4187 students are involved. The results show that relying on the massive online and offline teaching resources and various teaching task activities, it realizes the blended teaching successfully, enabling students to spend more time in their self-directed learning with higher efficiency. Meanwhile, learning process is ensured and students are much more motivated for English learning which leads to better marks in their test results. Furthermore, it is beneficial for personalized learning and teaching and for achieving objectives of college English course as well.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132706302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the instant messaging has generated increasing awareness of its educational value, due to its flexibility, convenience and widespread use. Many researches are to model and analyze the learning behavior based on data collected from online learning platforms or instant messaging (IM) platforms separately. But relatively little is known about how the students behave when combining these two kinds of platforms with traditional classroom learning. In this study, we investigate and analyze learning behaviors of first-year university students in a project-based course by exploring data collected from an online learning platform and an IM platform which are used in the course. Firstly, an interactive social network is constructed based on the IM messages, from which students’ engagement in the course and their preferred collaborative learning styles can be observed. Then learning behavior features extracted from both platforms are analyzed to get insights of the learning behaviors of students when combining these two kinds of platforms in the course. Our findings reveal that instant messaging platform can help students adapt to new fields, and their learning patterns on the IM platform are different, which ultimately leads to different learning performance. Finally, a learning performance prediction model called Student Predict Based On BI-LSTM (SPBI-LSTM) is proposed, which fuses student behavior sequences from two platforms to predict students who under-performing. We experimentally verify the improvement in accuracy when integrating instant messaging data.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121888583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CRISP-DM methodology was used, structured in six phases: Problem analysis, data analysis, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation and implementation. Based on the analysis of online learning behavior through 22 behavioral indicators observed in the LMS of the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the National University of San Agustin. These indicators are distributed in five dimensions: Academic Performance, Access, Homework, Social Aspects and Quizzes. The model has been implemented in the KNIME platform using the Simple Regression Tree Learner training algorithm. The total population consists of 30,000 student records from which a sample of 1,000 records has been taken by simple random sampling. The accuracy of the model for early prediction of students' academic performance is evaluated, the 22 observed behavioral indicators are compared with the means of academic performance in three courses. The prediction results of the implemented model are satisfactory where the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the first course was 3. 813 and with an accuracy of 89.7%, the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the second course was 2.809 with an accuracy of 94.2% and the mean absolute error compared to the mean of the third course was 2.779 with an accuracy of 93.8%.
