A meta-analysis of the effectiveness of ALEKS on learning

Intelligent learning environments

“…Specifically, the papers collected represent studies on each of the four components of intelligent learning environments: the learners, the processes, environments, and the processes. Specifically, studies relevant to learners either at the formal modeling level (Fang et al, 2019;Shih et al, 2019;Wilson et al, 2019;Wu, 2019), at the cognitive processing level (Shih et al, 2019;Wu, 2019), or conducted studies to compare different learner populations (Shih et al, 2019;Wu, 2019). The collected studies either compare different learning environments (Fang et al, 2019;Wu, 2019) or study the effect of variations of other components in a given learning environment such as Game (Shih et al, 2019), Intelligent tutoring systems (Sun et al, 2019;Wu, 2019), or Virtual reality (Nisha, 2019).…”

“…All included studies are directly relevant to studying or utilizing learning resources. For example, the formal modeling of learning resources (such as learning content) is in the form of a concept map (Wilson et al, 2019), structured organization such as knowledge space (Fang et al, 2019), or advanced technology that can efficiently present learners with VR learning environment (Nisha, 2019).…”

“…We are able to include a meta-analytic study by Fang, Ren, Hu, and Graesser (2019). This meta-analysis focuses on empirical studies of ALEKS (Assessment of LEearning in Knowledge Space, https://www.aleks.com/) between 2005 and 2015.…”

“…Quando ALEKS é comparado com condições de ausência de instrução, os resultados são estatisticamente significativos e diferentes de zero (g = 0,19) quando analisados sob efeitos fixos, mas não significativos e diferentes de zero quando analisados por efeitos aleatórios. Os autores concluem com a indicação de que o ALEKS pode ser utilizado para auxiliar professores e estudantes de diversas séries, dado que os resultados demonstram equivalência entre o sistema e o ensino tradicional (Fang et al, 2018).…”

“…Sua aplicação se mostrou valiosa no mapeamento do processo cognitivo (Arasasingham et al, 2004;Taagepera et al, 1997) e em conjunto com sistema tutores inteligentes (Villano, 1992;Albert & Hockemeyer, 1997). Os resultados encontrados por Fang et al (2018) precisam ser analisados com cautela devido ao pouco conhecimento sobre o sistema por ser comercial de código fechado (ALEKS, 2017) e pela falta de comparações com outros sistemas tutores que tenham a mesma base teórica.…”
