Zhang, Yingbin; Paquette, Luc; Baker, Ryan S.; Bosch, Nigel; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Biswas, Gautam – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
The feelings of difficulty and familiarity (FOD and FOF) are two types of metacognitive experiences. Both may influence student engagement and the application of metacognitive strategies, but these relationships are not well understood, in part because many studies have relied on self-report measures of behaviors that may not accurately reflect…

Zhang Yingbin; Paquette, Luc; Baker, Ryan S.; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Bosch, Nigel; Biswas, Gautam; Munshi, Anabil – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
Confusion may benefit learning when it is resolved or partially resolved. Metacognitive strategies (MS) may help learners to resolve confusion when it occurs during learning and problem solving. This study examined the relationship between confusion and MS that students evoked in Betty's Brain, a computer-based learning-by-modelling environment…

Munshi, Anabil; Biswas, Gautam; Baker, Ryan; Ocumpaugh, Jaclyn; Hutt, Stephen; Paquette, Luc – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Providing adaptive scaffolds to help learners develop effective self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviours has been an important goal for intelligent learning environments. Adaptive scaffolding is especially important in open-ended learning environments (OELE), where novice learners often face difficulties in completing their learning…

Rashedi, Roxanne N.; Bonnet, Kemberlee; Schulte, Rebecca J.; Schlundt, David G.; Swanson, Amy R.; Kinsman, Amy; Bardett, Nicole; Juárez, Pablo; Warren, Zachary E.; Biswas, Gautam; Kunda, Maithilee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Interest continues to be high in technology-based interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Understanding the preferences and challenges of technology use among individuals with ASD can inform the design of such interventions. Through 18 interviews with parents, we used an iterative inductive-deductive approach to…

Emara, Mona; Hutchins, Nicole M.; Grover, Shuchi; Snyder, Caitlin; Biswas, Gautam – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
The integration of computational modelling in science classrooms provides a unique opportunity to promote key 21st century skills including computational thinking (CT) and collaboration. The open-ended, problem-solving nature of the task requires groups to grapple with the combination of two domains (science and computing) as they collaboratively…
