基于教育游戏数据挖掘的科学探究能力测评研究

RESEARCH ON EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY ABILITY BASED ON EDUCATIONAL GAME DATA MINING

科学探究能力的测量已经成为STEM教育领域的研究热点之一。在此背景下,本研究设计并开发了基于斜抛运动知识点的探究性教育游戏,并通过数据挖掘和文本分析法对学习者在该教育游戏中产生的学习行为数据进行分析,探讨了学生科学探究能力的测量方法。结果表明,学生知识水平的增长并不一定能促进探究能力的提高;学生的探究设计能力和归纳总结能力不存在关联;不同知识背景的学生的探究结果存在显著性差异;探究结论和学生的训练次数存在关联。

The measurement of scientific inquiry ability has become one of the research hotspots in the field of STEM education.In this context,this study designed and developed an exploratory education game based on the knowledge points of oblique throwing movement,analyzed the learning behavior data generated by learners in the educational game through data mining and text analysis,and discussed the measurement method of students􀆳scientific inquiry ability.The results show that the increase of students􀆳knowledge level does not necessarily promote the improvement of inquiry ability.There is no correlation between students􀆳ability of inquiry design and their ability of generalization and summarization.There are significant differences among the students with different knowledge backgrounds.There is a correlation between the conclusion of the inquiry and the training times of students.
