Abstract:
|
We propose a new dynamic cognitive diagnosis model that tracks learning process over time and incorporates external covariates. In particular, we model the changes in skill profiles through a multivariate probit model and estimate the model parameters in a Bayesian approach. We also apply our method to an educational intervention study to provide a fine-grained assessment of the experimental intervention.
