Title: Using Automated Analysis to Reveal Student Thinking in STEM

Abstract: In the Automated Analysis of Constructed Response (AACR) Research Group, we develop constructed response assessment items and associated predictive machine learning models that allow formative evaluation of student writing.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the methodology we employ to develop automated predictive scoring models and some examples of developed items, which reveal that students have complex, mixed models of thinking about key STEM ideas.
