Abstract

In this paper, we modelled constructive engagement activities in an online programming discussion. We built a logistic regression model based on the underlined cognitive processes in constructive learning activities. The findings supported that there is passive-proactive behaviour and suggested that detecting constructive content can be a helpful classifier in discerning relevant information to the users and in turn creating opportunities to optimize learning. The results also confirmed the value of discussion forum content, disregarding the crowd approves or not.
