This study aims to explore the learning paths of students in proportional reasoning when solving problems with unknowns. Based on the literature review, the proportional reasoning test employed five attributes and three hierarchical models were established: an unstructured model and two divergent models. Cognitive Diagnosis Models (CDMs) and their corresponding Q-matrices were then utilized to estimate student profiles and the expected values on each item for each profile. Additionally, the test categorizes items into four types based on within/between-ratio and integer/non-integer. Thus, it allowed us to understand performance differences among different student profiles and item types. The results indicated high consistency between three hierarchical models and responses from high-performing groups. Comparing the DINA with Attribute Hierarchy Model (DINA-AHM) and the Hierarchical Diagnostic Classification Model (HDCM), the saturated HDCM model provided more information. The learning path constructed from the expected scores of student profiles allowed us to understand which attribute mastery was beneficial for improving student performance. Among the four item types, those involving non-integer ratios in both within and between ratios are the most difficult. |
