Mastery data derived from formative assessments constitute a rich data set in the
development of student performance prediction models. The dominance of formative assessment
mastery data over use intensity data such as time on task or number of clicks was
the outcome of previous research by the authors in a dispositional learning analytics
context. Practical implications of these findings are far reaching, contradicting
current practices of developing (learning analytics based) student performance prediction
models based on intensity data as central predictor variables. In this empirical follow-up
study using data of 2011 students, we search for an explanation for time on task data
being dominated by mastery data. We do so by investigating more general models, allowing
for nonlinear, even non-monotonic, relationships between time on task and performance
measures. Clustering students into subsamples, with different time on task characteristics,
suggests heterogeneity of the sample to be an important cause of the nonlinear relationships
with performance measures. Time on task data appear to be more sensitive to the effects
of heterogeneity than mastery data, providing a further argument to prioritize formative
assessment mastery data as predictor variables in the design of prediction models
directed at the generation of learning feedback. |
