碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 理學院科技與數位學習學程 === 106 === This study uses the “nonparametric weighted cognitive diagnosis model (NPWCD)” to classify the mastery patterns of students in the eighth-grade mathematical unit, "Series and Arithmetic Series." Moreover, according to the classified mastery pattern, a personalized remedial instruction of students was carried out by the teaching materials videos in the Adaptive Learning Platform developed by National Taichung University of Education, Taiwan. The research goal can be divided into two parts. The first part discussed the learning effectiveness of a computerized and personalized remedial instruction by combing nonparametric weighted cognitive diagnosis model with the teaching videos provided by the Adaptive Learning Platform. The second part discussed whether the use of the proposed computerized and personalized remedial instruction is better than that of the traditional group remedial teaching. In NPCD, the test items are designed according to the sub-skills of the knowledge node of the “Series and Arithmetic” unit in the Adaptive Learning Platform. Hence, a computerized and personalized remedial task including specific teaching videos can be assigned based on the lack of skills classified by NPWCD. The research results of this study are as follows: 1. Students' learning performances have the statistically significant difference through the proposed computerized and personalized remedial instruction by comparing the difference between the scores of pre- and post-tests. 2. Students' learning performances also have the statistically significant difference through the traditional group remedial instruction by comparing the difference between the scores of pre- and post-tests. 3. The progress of the proposed computerized and personalized remedial instruction is better than that of the traditional group remedial teaching, with statistically significant differences. 4. This study uses the NPWCD to find out the student deficiency and, then, provide personalized remediate teaching with the Adaptive Learning Platform. The proposed remedial approach can immediately solve lack of students and achieve the purpose of adaptive learning.
