Summary
This study introduces a novel model combining knowledge graphs and multi-agent reinforcement learning to identify at-risk online learners early. The system effectively personalizes interventions, improving student motivation and learning patterns.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Artificial Intelligence in Education
- Learning Analytics
Background:
- Online learning expansion presents challenges in student engagement and motivation.
- Self-directed study often leads to declining learning behaviors and task accumulation.
- Increased psychological pressure is a common issue for online learners.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an innovative model for identifying at-risk students in online learning environments.
- To enable personalized interventions for improving student learning trajectories.
- To enhance motivation and optimize resource utilization in self-directed study.
Main Methods:
- Integration of a knowledge graph with multi-agent reinforcement learning.
- Development of a model for learning state risk identification and personalized intervention.
- Systematic evaluation using comprehensive learning behavior data from seven courses.
Main Results:
- The model achieved early and accurate identification of at-risk students (recall 0.879-0.896).
- Accuracy increased steadily, with F1-scores demonstrating stability (0.842-0.871).
- Intervention strategies significantly improved learning trajectories and reduced behavioral fluctuations.
Conclusions:
- The proposed model effectively enhances learning motivation and stabilizes learning rhythms.
- Personalized interventions optimize patterns of resource utilization in online learning.
- The integrated approach addresses key challenges in self-directed online education.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Cognitive Learning
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Observational Learning
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning because...
Associative Learning
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
