用AI智能匹配课程,帮学生省时省钱顺利转学。

Advancing credit mobility through stakeholder-informed AI design and adoption

  • 结合师生反馈设计AI模型,解决课程描述偏差问题
  • 准确率提升5.5倍,预计可释放12倍未实现的学分转移机会
  • 适合教育管理者和政策制定者参考,推动高校学分互通

从两年制学院转入四年制大学对社会阶层流动至关重要,但学分不被认可常导致学业延迟和额外成本。课程等效性(即课程衔接)是成功转学的关键,能减少无效学分并提高获得学士学位的可能性。然而,当前课程衔接协议仍依赖人工审核,耗时费力。尽管已有研究尝试用人工智能辅助,实际应用仍有限。本研究与纽约州立大学系统合作,基于对衔接工作人员和教师的调研,开发了一种监督式对齐方法,解决了课程目录描述中的表面匹配和机构偏见问题,在准确率上相比此前方法提升5.5倍。结合该方法的预测结果及61%的师生采纳率,预计可使原本无法实现的学分流动机会增加12倍。研究表明,以利益相关者为导向的AI设计能显著拓展学生学分转移路径,重塑高校课程衔接决策机制。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Transferring from a 2-year to a 4-year college is crucial for socioeconomic mobility, yet students often face challenges ensuring their credits are fully recognized, leading to delays in their academic progress and unexpected costs. Determining whether courses at different institutions are equivalent (i.e., articulation) is essential for successful credit transfer, as it minimizes unused credits and increases the likelihood of bachelor's degree completion. However, establishing articulation agreements remains time- and resource-intensive, as all candidate articulations are reviewed manually. Although recent efforts have explored the use of artificial intelligence to support this work, its use in articulation practice remains limited. Given these challenges and the need for scalable support, this study applies artificial intelligence to suggest articulations between institutions in collaboration with the State University of New York system, one of the largest systems of higher education in the US. To develop our methodology, we first surveyed articulation staff and faculty to assess adoption rates of baseline algorithmic recommendations and gather feedback on perceptions and concerns about these recommendations. Building on these insights, we developed a supervised alignment method that addresses superficial matching and institutional biases in catalog descriptions, achieving a 5.5-fold improvement in accuracy over previous methods. Based on articulation predictions of this method and a 61% average surveyed adoption rate among faculty and staff, these findings project a 12-fold increase in valid credit mobility opportunities that would otherwise remain unrealized. This study suggests that stakeholder-informed design of AI in higher education administration can expand student credit mobility and help reshape current institutional decision-making in course articulation.
