Using sequence mining to reveal the efficiency in scientific reasoning during STEM learning with a game-based learning environment

LEARNING AND INSTRUCTION, 54, 93–103.

By: M. Taub n, R. Azevedo n, A. Bradbury n, G. Millar n & J. Lester n

author keywords: Metacognition; Self-regulated learning; Scientific reasoning; Game-based learning; Sequence mining; Process data; Log files
