In this chapter, we discuss how these types of methods can be used to measure complex cognition and meta-cognition in types of environments where inference can be challenging: exploratory and inquiry learning environments, complex games, and project-based learning. We give examples from a range of projects for the types of constructs that can be inferred using EDM/LA methods and how these measures compare to what can be obtained from more traditional methods. We conclude with a discussion of future discussion and potentials for these kinds of methods.}, + chapter = {16}, + copyright = {{\copyright} 2017 John Wiley \& Sons, Inc.}, + isbn = {978-1-118-95658-8}, + langid = {english}, + keywords = {complex games,educational data mining,educational measurement,exploratory learning environments,inquiry learning environments,learning analytics}, + file = {/home/charlotte/sync/Zotero/storage/L5U4ZHN5/Baker et al. - 2016 - Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics.pdf;/home/charlotte/sync/Zotero/storage/ES2FJTYW/9781118956588.html} +} + @article{bakerStateEducationalData2009, title = {The {{State}} of {{Educational Data Mining}} in 2009: {{A Review}} and {{Future Visions}}}, shorttitle = {The {{State}} of {{Educational Data Mining}} in 2009}, @@ -3698,6 +3717,26 @@ New York, NY}, file = {/home/charlotte/sync/Zotero/storage/J5JNI6J8/Romero and Ventura - 2010 - Educational Data Mining A Review of the State of .pdf;/home/charlotte/sync/Zotero/storage/H7MJHSEM/5524021.html} } +@article{romeroEducationalDataMining2020, + title = {Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics: {{An}} Updated Survey}, + shorttitle = {Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics}, + author = {Romero, Cristobal and Ventura, Sebastian}, + year = {2020}, + journal = {{WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery}}, + volume = {10}, + number = {3}, + pages = {e1355}, + issn = {1942-4795}, + doi = {10.1002/widm.1355}, + url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/widm.1355}, + urldate = {2024-05-08}, + abstract = {This survey is an updated and improved version of the previous one published in 2013 in this journal with the title ``data mining in education''.
