"A Multi-Agent-Based Approach for the Study of Student Behavior Dynamic" by Yuchen Wang, Lei Niu et al.
Peer learning indicates an educational environment where students teach and learn from each other. Understanding how students' peer learning behaviors change over time would bring benefits such as providing clues to teachers to encourage peer learning. Studying such behavior dynamics in realistic environments could be time-consuming due to the cost of human labor. This paper proposes to use computer simulations as an efficient way to study student behavior dynamics in peer learning environments. Specifically, a student is modeled as an autonomous agent who acts as either a tutor or a lear...
