Modeling Student Learning and Forgetting (DAS3H: Modeling Student Learning and Forgetting for Optimally Scheduling Distributed Practice of Skills)

There are two main approaches to modeling student learning: knowledge tracing and factor analysis.

  1. Knowledge Tracing: This approach models the development of student knowledge to predict the sequence of answers (e.g., the Bayesian Knowledge Tracing model).
  2. Factor Analysis: This approach does not depend on the order of observations. It includes models such as Item Response Theory (IRT), where the probability of a correct answer is modeled as P(Ys,j=1)=σ(αsδj)P(Y_{s, j} = 1) = \sigma(\alpha_s - \delta_j), with αs\alpha_s denoting student ability and δj\delta_j item difficulty. Extensions include Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT), the Additive Factor Model (AFM), and Performance Factor Analysis (PFA).
