Skill hierarchy structure based skill assessment and learning paths

AbstractInstructional assessment and learning paths are essential for improving students' learning effectiveness. This paper explores enhancing learners' learning efficiency and quality from the perspective of the correlation between skills. Firstly, the concept of the skill hierarchy structure and valid skill combination is introduced, followed introducted the method of constructing a question bank based on the skill hierarchy structure. Secondly, the skill hierarchy structure is utilized to induce skill context and provide the competence base for the skill context. Finally, the method for assessing the skills mastered by the learner is provided in the case of a known knowledge state of learners, and the learning paths diagram suitable for the learner's personalized situation is constructed. Experimental results demonstrate that the competence structure derived from the induced skill context based on skill hierarchy structure meets the requirements of being well-graded. Furthermore, the proposed methods in this paper facilitate learners in effectively mastering and applying learned skills, thereby establishing a solid foundation and improving their learning efficiency.KEYWORDS: Skill hierarchy structurevalid skill combinationskill contextcompetence baseskill assessmentlearning paths Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
