Yikai Lu; Teresa M. Ober; Cheng Liu; Ying Cheng – Grantee Submission, 2022
Machine learning methods for predictive analytics have great potential for uncovering trends in educational data. However, simple linear models still appear to be most widely used, in part, because of their interpretability. This study aims to address the issues of interpretability of complex machine learning classifiers by conducting feature…

Teresa M. Ober; Maxwell R. Hong; Matthew F. Carter; Alex S. Brodersen; Daniella Rebouças-Ju; Cheng Liu; Ying Cheng – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2022
We examined whether students were accurate in predicting their test performance in both low-stakes and high-stakes testing contexts. The sample comprised U.S. high school students enrolled in an advanced placement (AP) statistics course during the 2017-2018 academic year (N = 209; M[subscript age] = 16.6 years). We found that even two months…

Teresa M. Ober; Maxwell R. Hong; Matthew F. Carter; Alex S. Brodersen; Daniella Rebouças-Ju; Cheng Liu; Ying Cheng – Grantee Submission, 2021
We examined whether students were accurate in predicting their test performance two testing contexts (low-stakes and high-stakes). The sample comprised U.S. high school students enrolled in an advanced placement (AP) statistics course during the 2017-2018 academic year (N=209; M[subscript age]=16.6 years). We found that even two months before…
