Papers by Keyword: Ordering Theory

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to use ordering theory (OT) to determine existing hierarchies among items with specifically learning style. Furthermore, an empirical data of capacity concepts testing for algebra learning was analyzed based on the integrated method student-problem chart (S-P Chart) is adopted to classify all students into proper learning styles. Cooperating S-P chart and OT are as an integrated method of cognition diagnosis. The empirical data is algebra concepts test of university students. The results showed that cognition diagnosis would be feasible for remedial teaching and design of teaching materials. Finally, some suggestions and recommendations for future research and educational research are provided.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to integrate two methodological approaches to explore concept structures. One approach is student-problem chart (S-P chart) and ordering theory (OT) and the other is fuzzy clustering and item relational structure (IRS). S-P chart is adopted to classify all students into proper learning styles. OT is to determine hierarchies of concept structures. Fuzzy clustering is soft computation to cluster features of students and combine IRS so as to determine the precondition and ordering relationship among items. The empirical data is statistics concepts test of university students. The results show that integration of these two approaches is feasible for cognition diagnosis and would be helpful for remedial instruction. Finally, some suggestions and recommendations for future research and educational research are provided.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to cooperate student-problem chart (S-P Chart) and ordering theory (OT) as an integrated method of cognition diagnosis. S-P chart was used to classify students into proper learning styles, In order to use OT to determine existing hierarchies among items with specifically learning style. Furthermore, an empirical data of capacity concepts testing for fundamental mathematics learning was analyzed based on the integrated method. The results showed that cognition diagnosis would be feasible for remedial teaching and design of teaching materials.
