• Abstract: Recently, we have seen a rapid rise in usage of online educational platforms. The personalized education became crucially important in future learning environments. Knowledge tracing (KT) refers to the detection of students' knowledge states and predict future performance given their past outcomes for providing adaptive solution to Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a model to capture mastery level of each skill with psychologically meaningful parameters and widely used in successful tutoring systems. However, it is unable to detect learning transfer across skills because each skill model is learned independently and shows lower efficiency in student performance prediction. While recent KT models based on deep neural networks shows impressive predictive power but it came with a price. Ten of thousands of parameters in neural networks are unable to provide psychologically meaningful interpretation that reflect to cognitive theory. In this paper, we proposed an efficient student model called BKT-LSTM. It contains three meaningful components: individual \textit{skill mastery} assessed by BKT, \textit{ability profile} (learning transfer across skills) detected by k-means clustering and \textit{problem difficulty}. All these components are taken into account in student's future performance prediction by leveraging predictive power of LSTM. BKT-LSTM outperforms state-of-the-art student models in student's performance prediction by considering these meaningful features instead of using binary values of student's past interaction in DKT. We also conduct ablation studies on each of BKT-LSTM model components to examine their value and each component shows significant contribution in student's performance prediction. Thus, it has potential for providing adaptive and personalized instruction in real-world educational systems.
