I am a senior taking up BS Computer Science specializing in Enterprise Systems. I am currently involved with six student organizations, four of which are accredited by the university. This being my last year in the university, I am intent on participating in anything I can get my hands on.
Javelin is a fourth year student of BS Computer Science. Currently, he loves playing computer games of different genres. He does not have a strong music preference. He has no real favorite movie nor favorite book. He enrolled in Computer Science because he felt he has a high affinity with computer related materials and also because he enjoys looking at codes and making them.
Neil is currently a senior in the Ateneo de Manila University taking up BS Computer Science. Along with his academic work, he also engages in organizational work, which he enjoys. His interests include computers (obviously), food, sports and movies.Thesis Title: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Help-Seeking Behavior Among Students using an Intelligent Tutoring System for Math
Thesis Abstract: Help-seeking is said to be an influential factor in student learning. There are effective and ineffective help-seeking behaviors however. An ineffective help-seeking behavior is using help as a means of avoiding to think about the problem, an action also known as “gaming the system”. Effective help-seeking entails using help as a strategy to learn the problem, which often includes self-explanation. In this paper, Educational Data Mining techniques will be used in order to analyze log files and create a model of students’ help-seeking behavior in their interaction with an Intelligent Tutoring System for Math. Models will be generated from datasets from four countries – USA, Philippines, Costa Rica, and Mexico. The models will be compared to highlight possible differences, and tested for generalizability.

Title of Thesis (Tentative): Educational Data Mining (EDM) Workbench: Processing Data shop Log Files through Data Definition and Display
Abstract of Thesis: In this paper, the researcher will focus on the initial stage of the development ofthe Educational Data Mining (EDM) Workbench. The EDM workbenchwill address the labeling bottleneck experienced by researchers whouses educational software that records student’s behavior in a log file.The study’s goal it to know what features of the EDM workbench shouldbe included and how does the researcher develop it. The paper alsoaims to know how these functionalities will assist the EDM researchers.The rapid prototyping methodology will be used to develop thesoftware. A usability test will be implemented to the prototype’scorrectness of the features. The result of the study will show thefeatures and how it is made. The assistance given to the EDMcommunity by the initial phase of the EDM Workbench will also bestated.
