• Abstract: In order to track and comprehend the academic achievement of students, both private and public educational institutions devote a significant amount of resources and labour. One of the difficult issues that institutes deal with on a regular basis is understanding the exam shortcomings of students. The performance of a student is influenced by a variety of factors, including attendance, attentiveness in class, understanding of concepts taught, the teachers ability to deliver the material effectively, timely completion of home assignments, and the concern of parents and teachers for guiding the student through the learning process. We propose a data driven approach that makes use of Machine Learning techniques to generate a classifier called credit score that helps to comprehend the learning journeys of students and identify activities that lead to subpar performances. This would make it easier for educators and institute management to create guidelines for system development to increase productivity. The proposal to use credit score as progress indicator is well suited to be used in a Learning Management System. In this article, we demonstrate the proof of the concept under simplified assumptions using simulated data.

  We use Language Models (LMs) as educational experts to assess the impact of various instructions on learning outcomes. We introduce an instruction optimization approach in which one LM generates instructional materials using the judgments of another LM as a reward function. Human teachers' evaluations of these LM-generated worksheets show a significant alignment between the LM judgments and human teacher preferences.

  The present study uses transmodal ordered network analysis to understand effective teacher practices in relationship to traditional metrics of in-system learning in a mathematics classroom working with AI tutors. Comparing teacher practices by student learning rates, we find that students with low learning rates exhibited more hint use after monitoring. Students with low learning rates showed learning behavior similar to their high learning rate peers, achieving repeated correct attempts in the tutor.

  We propose the dynamic prior knowledge (DPK), which integrates part of teacher's features as the prior knowledge before the feature distillation. Our DPK makes the performance of the student model positively correlated with that of the teacher model, which means that we can further boost the accuracy of students by applying larger teachers.

We have evaluated the performance of the KADT method on four different machine learning tasks including knowledge tracing, sentiment analysis, movie recommendation, and image classification.
