Table 4 Algorithms used in the group formation process
From: Learning log-based automatic group formation: system design and classroom implementation study
Algorithm | Algorithm description | Available input parameters |
|---|---|---|
Homogeneous | The algorithm groups students with similar values of a parameter. | Engagement (Learning time for preparation, achievement rate, number of markers and memos), average scores of quizzes from different LRS before group study, group score (data entered for evaluation) |
Heterogeneous | The algorithm groups students with different values of a parameter. | Engagement, average score of quizzes from different LRS before group study, group score |
Jigsaw | Heterogeneous grouping based on multiple scores | Multiple scores of quizzes from different LRS before group study |
Friendship | The algorithm groups students who are friends as identified by the teacher. Uploaded CSV file is required. | Friendship (obtained from past group learning data or teachers’ input in CSV) |
Random | The algorithm groups students randomly. | None |
