Abstract


This paper qualitatively analyzes the use of Sequential Pattern Mining to discover learning patterns in an environment dedicated to teaching algorithms. The question to be faced is how to improve the students’ learning experience through the investigation of navigation patterns by the computational problems available in this environment. The proposed approach is able to reveal to the teacher how the student’s learning experience is going, so that he can act to prevent a possible demotivation towards the platform. The main contribution of this work was to show that this approach can generate valuable information for the teacher, such as the need to review a problem or to provide more examples for students
