Step 1: Feature Engineering
Gradient Tree Boosting is most effective with 9 of the
designed features, e.g., learning type and exercise
format, for second language acquisition modeling.
More efforts on feature engineering are needed.
3 Research Hypotheses
TU Delft
Extension School
A student¡¯s living community affects her learning performance.H1
The more engaged a student is, the more words she masters.H2
The more time a student
spends on solving an
exercise, the more likely
she will get it wrong.
H3
Contextual factors such
as the device being used,
learning type and exercise
format impact a student¡¯s
learning.
H4
Repetition is useful and
necessary for a student to
master a word.
H5
A student with a high-spacing learning routine is more likely to
learn more words than one with a low-spacing learning routine.?H6
Analyzing by grouping students living in different countries.
Analyzing by grouping students according to their spent time
and learning spacing routine.
