This paper aims to analyze the learning behavior of Thai learners by using a computer-based learning system for English writing. Three main objectives were set: the development of a computer-based learning system, automatic behavior data collection, and learning behavior analytics. Firstly, the system is developed under a multidisciplinary idea that is designed to integrate two concepts between the self-regulated learning model and components of natural language processing. The integration design encourages self-learning in the digital learning environment and supports appropriate English writing by the provided component selection. Second, the system automatically collects the writing behavior of a group of Thai learners. The data collected are necessary input for the process of learning analytics. Third, the writing behaviors data were analyzed to find the learning behavioral patterns of the learners. For learning analytics, behavior sequential analysis was used to analyze the learning logs from the system. The 31 undergraduate students are participated to record writing behaviors via the system. The learning patterns in relation to grammatical skills were compared between three groups: basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. The learning behavior patterns of the three groups are different that use for reflecting learners and improving the learning materials or curriculum.

OLAP based Scaffolding to support Personalized Synchronous e-Learning IJMIT JOURNAL
The advent of asynchronous web based learning systems has helped the learner in a self paced,
personalized and flexible learning style. It can be even more useful with a supportive synchronous tutorial
(question-answer) session. The challenge is to provide sufficient information to the instructor about the
learner’s experience in that particular course at run time. Online analytical processing (OLAP) is a very
useful technique in producing such run time information in the form of reports. In this paper we have
designed an automated scaffolding technique to hold this vital information about the learner which we have
obtained by OLAP techniques on the log data of the LMS users. We have also proposed an overall
architecture of the scaffolding where this information can be easily accessed and used by the instructor in
the synchronous tutorial session to make the system more adaptive.
Currently, e-learning is becoming an option as it can save the cost of education, time, and more flexible in its implementation. The main problem that arises is how to create e-learning content that is interesting and really fit the needs of the users. One way that can be done to optimize the content of e-learning is to analyze the user behavior. This study aims to analyze user (student) behavior in KALAM UMP, based on logs report (activity history), which is often called as behavioral tracking. First, the learning style of the students is determined based on Honey and Mumford Learning Styles Model by using Learning Styles Questionnaire. The analysis is done using SPSS 16.0 for Windows. The results shows that student with Reflector and Theorist learning styles access e-learning materials the most. From Spearman Correlation analysis, the relationship between learning styles and students’ behavior in e-learning is found to be very weak (rs=.276, p=.000), but statistically significant (p<0.05). In other words, students’ learning styles and behavior in e-learning have significant impacts on the improvement or degradation of students’ performance. Therefore, from the results of this study, an adaptive KALAM e-learning system which can suits the learning styles of UMP students is proposed. In adaptive e-learning system, students can access learning materials that match the students' learning needs and preferences.

Peer tutoring strategy changes the role of instructors no matter what the instructor is an educator or a peer. The well-known method in computer science education, pair programming, is some kind of effective collaborative peer tutoring activity. The advantages of peer tutoring method emphasize similar prior knowledge and languages among peers so as to achieve teaching goals. Data Structure is a very important basic curriculum, regarded as a mandatory course in relevant computer domains of university. However, most of students fail to present their coding skills after learning data structure course. Cooperative learning is an effective learning strategy in which is often applied to education field. Students must work in groups to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals. Pair Programming could decrease errors in coding, increase coding quality and promote programmers confidence, as well as enhance their coding ability. This study incorporates an experimental learning activity, in which the students are asked to write programming codes, which can enhance students’ learning motivation. Then, this study compares the performance of the students with different learning
styles in learning motivation. According the results of Two-way ANOVA, the proposed intervention could increase students learning performance. The reflective-style students could have better learning achievement than active-style ones.

Cognitive level classification on information communication technology skill...IJECEIAES
Learners can study and update their knowledge continually due to the rapid growth of online content. The Medium blog is a well-known open platform that encourages authors who want to share their experiences to publish content on various topics in multiple languages. Meanwhile, readers can query interesting content by searching for a related topic. However, finding suitable content is still challenging for learners, especially information communication technology (ICT) content in Thai, and needs to be classified into beginner, intermediate, and advanced cognitive levels. Moreover, ICT blog content is usually a mix of Thai language and technical terms in English. To overcome the challenge of content classification, a deep neural network (DNN) classification model was constructed to classify the ICT content from the Medium blog into three levels based on cognition. We examined and compared the classification results with strong baseline models, including logistic regression, multinomial naïve bayes, support vector machine (SVM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The experimental results indicate that the proposed DNN model attained the highest accuracy (0.878), precision (0.882), recall (0.878), and F1-score (0.875).

Clustering Students of Computer in Terms of Level of ProgrammingEditor IJCATR
Educational data mining (EDM) is one of the applications of data mining. In educational data mining, there are two key domains, i.e. student domain and faculty domain. Different type of research work has been done in both domains.
In existing system the faculty performance has calculated on the basis of two parameters i.e. Student feedback and the result of student in that subject. In existing system we define two approaches one is multiple classifier approach and the other is a single classifier approach and comparing them, for relative evaluation of faculty performance using data mining
Techniques. In multiple classifier approach K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is used in first step and Rule based classification is used in the second step of classification while in single classifier approach only KNN is used in both steps of classification.
But in proposed system, I will analyse the faculty performance using 4 parameters i.e., student complaint about faculty, Student review feedback for faculty, students feedback, and students result etc.
For this proposed system I will be going to use opinion mining technique for analyzing performance of faculty and calculating score of each faculty.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.

This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.

Review of monitoring tools for e learning platformsijcsit
The advancement of e-learning technologies has made it viable for developments in education and
technology to be combined in order to fulfil educational needs worldwide. E-learning consists of informal
learning approaches and emerging technologies to support the delivery of learning skills, materials,
collaboration and knowledge sharing. E-learning is a holistic approach that covers a wide range of
courses, technologies and infrastructures to provide an effective learning environment. The Learning
Management System (LMS) is the core of the entire e-learning process along with technology, content, and
services. This paper investigates the role of model-driven personalisation support modalities in providing
enhanced levels of learning and trusted assimilation in an e-learning delivery context. We present an
analysis of the impact of an integrated learning path that an e-learning system may employ to track
activities and evaluate the performance of learners.

Clustering Students of Computer in Terms of Level of ProgrammingEditor IJCATR
Educational data mining (EDM) is one of the applications of data mining. In educational data mining, there are two key domains, i.e. student domain and faculty domain. Different type of research work has been done in both domains.
In existing system the faculty performance has calculated on the basis of two parameters i.e. Student feedback and the result of student in that subject. In existing system we define two approaches one is multiple classifier approach and the other is a single classifier approach and comparing them, for relative evaluation of faculty performance using data mining
Techniques. In multiple classifier approach K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is used in first step and Rule based classification is used in the second step of classification while in single classifier approach only KNN is used in both steps of classification.
But in proposed system, I will analyse the faculty performance using 4 parameters i.e., student complaint about faculty, Student review feedback for faculty, students feedback, and students result etc.
For this proposed system I will be going to use opinion mining technique for analyzing performance of faculty and calculating score of each faculty.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.
Model predictive controller for a retrofitted heat exchanger temperature cont...nooriasukmaningtyas
This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.
Control of a servo-hydraulic system utilizing an extended wavelet functional ...nooriasukmaningtyas
Servo-hydraulic systems have been extensively employed in various industrial applications. However, these systems are characterized by their highly complex and nonlinear dynamics, which complicates the control design stage of such systems. In this paper, an extended wavelet functional link neural network (EWFLNN) is proposed to control the displacement response of the servo-hydraulic system. To optimize the controller's parameters, a recently developed optimization technique, which is called the modified sine cosine algorithm (M-SCA), is exploited as the training method. The proposed controller has achieved remarkable results in terms of tracking two different displacement signals and handling external disturbances. From a comparative study, the proposed EWFLNN controller has attained the best control precision compared with those of other controllers, namely, a proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller, an artificial neural network (ANN) controller, a wavelet neural network (WNN) controller, and the original wavelet functional link neural network (WFLNN) controller. Moreover, compared to the genetic algorithm (GA) and the original sine cosine algorithm (SCA), the M-SCA has shown better optimization results in finding the optimal values of the controller's parameters.
Decentralised optimal deployment of mobile underwater sensors for covering la...nooriasukmaningtyas
This paper presents the problem of sensing coverage of layers of the ocean in three dimensional underwater environments. We propose distributed control laws to drive mobile underwater sensors to optimally cover a given confined layer of the ocean. By applying this algorithm at first the mobile underwater sensors adjust their depth to the specified depth. Then, they make a triangular grid across a given area. Afterwards, they randomly move to spread across the given grid. These control laws only rely on local information also they are easily implemented and computationally effective as they use some easy consensus rules. The feature of exchanging information just among neighbouring mobile sensors keeps the information exchange minimum in the whole networks and makes this algorithm practicable option for undersea. The efficiency of the presented control laws is confirmed via mathematical proof and numerical simulations.
Evaluation quality of service for internet of things based on fuzzy logic: a ...nooriasukmaningtyas
The development of the internet of thing (IoT) technology has become a major concern in sustainability of quality of service (SQoS) in terms of efficiency, measurement, and evaluation of services, such as our smart home case study. Based on several ambiguous linguistic and standard criteria, this article deals with quality of service (QoS). We used fuzzy logic to select the most appropriate and efficient services. For this reason, we have introduced a new paradigmatic approach to assess QoS. In this regard, to measure SQoS, linguistic terms were collected for identification of ambiguous criteria. This paper collects the results of other work to compare the traditional assessment methods and techniques in IoT. It has been proven that the comparison that traditional valuation methods and techniques could not effectively deal with these metrics. Therefore, fuzzy logic is a worthy method to provide a good measure of QoS with ambiguous linguistic and criteria. The proposed model addresses with constantly being improved, all the main axes of the QoS for a smart home. The results obtained also indicate that the model with its fuzzy performance importance index (FPII) has efficiently evaluate the multiple services of SQoS.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Smart monitoring system using NodeMCU for maintenance of production machinesnooriasukmaningtyas
Maintenance is an activity that helps to reduce risk, increase productivity, improve quality, and minimize production costs. The necessity for maintenance actions will increase efficiency and enhance the safety and quality of products and processes. On getting these conditions, it is necessary to implement a monitoring system used to observe machines' conditions from time to time, especially the machine parts that often experience problems. This paper presents a low-cost intelligent monitoring system using NodeMCU to continuously monitor machine conditions and provide warnings in the case of machine failure. Not only does it provide alerts, but this monitoring system also generates historical data on machine conditions to the Google Cloud (Google Sheet), includes which machines were down, downtime, issues occurred, repairs made, and technician handling. The results obtained are machine operators do not need to lose a relatively long time to call the technician. Likewise, the technicians assisted in carrying out machine maintenance activities and online reports so that errors that often occur due to human error do not happen again. The system succeeded in reducing the technician-calling time and maintenance workreporting time up to 50%. The availability of online and real-time maintenance historical data will support further maintenance strategy.

Using sustainable energy is the future of our planet earth, this became not only economically efficient but also a necessity for the preservation of life on earth. Because of such necessity, smart grids became a very important issue to be researched. Many literatures discussed this topic and with the development of internet of things (IoT) and smart sensors, smart grids are developed even further. On the other hand, software defined networking is a technology that separates the control plane from the data plan of the network. It centralizes the management and the orchestration of the network tasks by using a network controller. The network controller is the heart of the SDN-enabled network, and it can control other networking devices using software defined networking (SDN) protocols such as OpenFlow. A smart switching mechanism called (SDN-smgrid-sw) for the smart grid will be modeled and controlled using SDN. We modeled the environment that interact with the sensors, for the sun and the wind elements. The Algorithm is modeled and programmed for smart efficient power sharing that is managed centrally and monitored using SDN controller. Also, all if the smart grid elements (power sources) are connected to the IP network using IoT protocols.

In this study, the researchers have proposed an alternative technique for designing an asymmetric 4 coil-resonance coupling module based on the series-to-parallel topology at 27 MHz industrial scientific medical (ISM) band to avoid the tissue damage, for the constant monitoring of the in-stent restenosis coronary artery. This design consisted of 2 components, i.e., the external part that included 3 planar coils that were placed outside the body and an internal helical coil (stent) that was implanted into the coronary artery in the human tissue. This technique considered the output power and the transfer efficiency of the overall system, coil geometry like the number of coils per turn, and coil size. The results indicated that this design showed an 82% efficiency in the air if the transmission distance was maintained as 20 mm, which allowed the wireless power supply system to monitor the pressure within the coronary artery when the implanted load resistance was 400 Ω.
Grid reactive voltage regulation and cost optimization for electric vehicle p...nooriasukmaningtyas
Expecting large electric vehicle (EV) usage in the future due to environmental issues, state subsidies, and incentives, the impact of EV charging on the power grid is required to be closely analyzed and studied for power quality, stability, and planning of infrastructure. When a large number of energy storage batteries are connected to the grid as a capacitive load the power factor of the power grid is inevitably reduced, causing power losses and voltage instability. In this work large-scale 18K EV charging model is implemented on IEEE 33 network. Optimization methods are described to search for the location of nodes that are affected most due to EV charging in terms of power losses and voltage instability of the network. Followed by optimized reactive power injection magnitude and time duration of reactive power at the identified nodes. It is shown that power losses are reduced and voltage stability is improved in the grid, which also complements the reduction in EV charging cost. The result will be useful for EV charging stations infrastructure planning, grid stabilization, and reducing EV charging costs.

Energy extraction takes place using several different technologies, depending on the type of energy and how it is used. The objective of this paper is to study topology influence for a smart network based on piezoelectric materials using the double synchronized switch harvesting (DSSH). In this work, has been presented network topology for circuit DSSH (DSSH Standard, Independent DSSH, DSSH in parallel, mono DSSH, and DSSH in series). Using simulation-based on a structure with embedded piezoelectric system harvesters, then compare different topology of circuit DSSH for knowledge is how to connect the circuit DSSH together and how to implement accurately this circuit strategy for maximizing the total output power. The network topology DSSH extracted power a technique allows again up to in terms of maximal power output compared with network topology standard extracted at the resonant frequency. The simulation results show that by using the same input parameters the maximum efficiency for topology DSSH in parallel produces 120% more energy than topology DSSH-series. In addition, the energy harvesting by mono-DSSH is more than DSSH-series by 650% and it has exceeded DSSHind by 240%.

In this article, an improvement to the positive output super-lift Luo converter (POSLC) has been proposed to get high gain at a low duty cycle. Also, reduce the stress on the switch and diodes, reduce the current through the inductors to reduce loss, and increase efficiency. Using a hybrid switch unit composed of four inductors and two capacitors it is replaced by the main inductor in the elementary circuit. It’s charged in parallel with the same input voltage and discharged in series. The output voltage is increased according to the number of components. The gain equation is modeled. The boundary condition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) has been derived. Passive components are designed to get high output voltage (8 times at D=0.5) and low ripple about (0.004). The circuit is simulated and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink. Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controls the converter to provide the most interest from solar energy.
Third harmonic current minimization using third harmonic blocking transformernooriasukmaningtyas
Zero sequence blocking transformers (ZSBTs) are used to suppress third harmonic currents in 3-phase systems. Three-phase systems where singlephase loading is present, there is every chance that the load is not balanced. If there is zero-sequence current due to unequal load current, then the ZSBT will impose high impedance and the supply voltage at the load end will be varied which is not desired. This paper presents Third harmonic blocking transformer (THBT) which suppresses only higher harmonic zero sequences. The constructional features using all windings in single-core and construction using three single-phase transformers explained. The paper discusses the constructional features, full details of circuit usage, design considerations, and simulation results for different supply and load conditions. A comparison of THBT with ZSBT is made with simulation results by considering four different cases

With an increase of non-linear load in today’s electrical power systems, the rate of power quality drops and the voltage source and frequency deteriorate if not properly compensated with an appropriate device. Filters are most common techniques that employed to overcome this problem and improving power quality. In this paper an improved optimization technique of filter applies to the power system is based on a particle swarm optimization with using artificial neural network technique applied to the unified power flow quality conditioner (PSO-ANN UPQC). Design particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network together result in a very high performance of flexible AC transmission lines (FACTs) controller and it implements to the system to compensate all types of power quality disturbances. This technique is very powerful for minimization of total harmonic distortion of source voltages and currents as a limit permitted by IEEE-519. The work creates a power system model in MATLAB/Simulink program to investigate our proposed optimization technique for improving control circuit of filters. The work also has measured all power quality disturbances of the electrical arc furnace of steel factory and suggests this technique of filter to improve the power quality.

Maintaining network synchronization is important to customer service. Low fluctuations cause voltage instability, non-synchronization in the power system or the problems in the electrical system disturbances, harmonics current and voltages inflation and contraction voltage. Proper tunning of the parameters of stabilizer is prime for validation of stabilizer. To overcome instability issues and get reinforcement found a lot of the techniques are developed to overcome instability problems and improve performance of power system. Genetic algorithm was applied to optimize parameters and suppress oscillation. The simulation of the robust composite capacitance system of an infinite single-machine bus was studied using MATLAB was used for optimization purpose. The critical time is an indication of the maximum possible time during which the error can pass in the system to obtain stability through the simulation. The effectiveness improvement has been shown in the system
Renewable energy based dynamic tariff system for domestic load managementnooriasukmaningtyas
To deal with the present power-scenario, this paper proposes a model of an advanced energy management system, which tries to achieve peak clipping, peak to average ratio reduction and cost reduction based on effective utilization of distributed generations. This helps to manage conventional loads based on flexible tariff system. The main contribution of this work is the development of three-part dynamic tariff system on the basis of time of utilizing power, available renewable energy sources (RES) and consumers’ load profile. This incorporates consumers’ choice to suitably select for either consuming power from conventional energy sources and/or renewable energy sources during peak or off-peak hours. To validate the efficiency of the proposed model we have comparatively evaluated the model performance with existing optimization techniques using genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. A new optimization technique, hybrid greedy particle swarm optimization has been proposed which is based on the two aforementioned techniques. It is found that the proposed model is superior with the improved tariff scheme when subjected to load management and consumers’ financial benefit. This work leads to maintain a healthy relationship between the utility sectors and the consumers, thereby making the existing grid more reliable, robust, flexible yet cost effective.
Energy harvesting maximization by integration of distributed generation based...nooriasukmaningtyas
The purpose of distributed generation systems (DGS) is to enhance the distribution system (DS) performance to be better known with its benefits in the power sector as installing distributed generation (DG) units into the DS can introduce economic, environmental and technical benefits. Those benefits can be obtained if the DG units' site and size is properly determined. The aim of this paper is studying and reviewing the effect of connecting DG units in the DS on transmission efficiency, reactive power loss and voltage deviation in addition to the economical point of view and considering the interest and inflation rate. Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is introduced to find the best solution to the distributed generation penetration problem in the DS. The result of WOA is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed solutions methodologies have been tested using MATLAB software on IEEE 33 standard bus system
Intelligent fault diagnosis for power distribution systemcomparative studiesnooriasukmaningtyas
Short circuit is one of the most popular types of permanent fault in power distribution system. Thus, fast and accuracy diagnosis of short circuit failure is very important so that the power system works more effectively. In this paper, a newly enhanced support vector machine (SVM) classifier has been investigated to identify ten short-circuit fault types, including single line-toground faults (XG, YG, ZG), line-to-line faults (XY, XZ, YZ), double lineto-ground faults (XYG, XZG, YZG) and three-line faults (XYZ). The performance of this enhanced SVM model has been improved by using three different versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO), namely: classical PSO (C-PSO), time varying acceleration coefficients PSO (T-PSO) and constriction factor PSO (K-PSO). Further, utilizing pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)-based time domain reflectometry (TDR) method allows to obtain a reliable dataset for SVM classifier. The experimental results performed on a two-branch distribution line show the most optimal variant of PSO for short fault diagnosis.

More than eighty-five to ninety percentage of the diabetic patients are affected with diabetic retinopathy (DR) which is an eye disorder that leads to blindness. The computational techniques can support to detect the DR by using the retinal images. However, it is hard to measure the DR with the raw retinal image. This paper proposes an effective method for identification of DR from the retinal images. In this research work, initially the Weiner filter is used for preprocessing the raw retinal image. Then the preprocessed image is segmented using fuzzy c-mean technique. Then from the segmented image, the features are extracted using grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). After extracting the fundus image, the feature selection is performed stochastic gradient descent, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for accurate identification during the classification process. Then the inception v3-convolutional neural network (IV3-CNN) model is used in the classification process to classify the image as DR image or non-DR image. By applying the proposed method, the classification performance of IV3-CNN model in identifying DR is studied. Using the proposed method, the DR is identified with the accuracy of about 95%, and the processed retinal image is identified as mild DR.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

ABSTRACT
This paper aims to analyze the learning behavior of Thai learners by using a computer-
based learning system for English writing. Three main objectives were set: the devel-
opment of a computer-based learning system, automatic behavior data collection, and
learning behavior analytics. Firstly, the system is developed under a multidisciplinary
idea that is designed to integrate two concepts between the self-regulated learning
model and components of natural language processing. The integration design en-
courages self-learning in the digital learning environment and supports appropriate
English writing by the provided component selection. Second, the system automati-
cally collects the writing behavior of a group of Thai learners. The data collected are
necessary input for the process of learning analytics. Third, the writing behaviors data
were analyzed to find the learning behavioral patterns of the learners. For learning
analytics, behavior sequential analysis was used to analyze the learning logs from the
system. The 31 undergraduate students are participated to record writing behaviors
via the system. The learning patterns in relation to grammatical skills were compared
between three groups: basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. The learning behavior
patterns of the three groups are different that use for reflecting learners and improving
the learning materials or curriculum.

1. INTRODUCTION
The English language is considered as essential for Thai people and is therefore a fundamental part
of the education system. Thai learners often experience difficulties in studying English as a foreign language
(EFL), in reading, speaking and especially writing [1]. Most language teaching in Thailand is a one-size-fits-all
that is unable to clearly identify the weaknesses of each learner. Personalized learning for the English language
is one possible solution. This aims to analyze individual learning behavior in order to identify each learner’s
strengths and weaknesses.
Computer technology increases learning behavior analytics for personalized learning in terms of the
storage and speed of analytics processing. Learning behavior analytics using computer-based technology is
quicker and cheaper than human analysis. Although computer technology supports data storage and faster pro-
cessing, language learning requires an underpinning pedagogy to foster self-learning for personalized learning

analytics. The self-regulated learning model is an essential model to get positive outcomes in learning, such as
encouraging learners’ skills to shape their own learning [2] and supporting lifelong autonomous learning [3].
There is various researches present model to encourage for learning of foreign language. The self-
regulated learning model is an efficient factor to improve the learning performance [4]. The model is applied to
foreign language learning. Incorporating the concepts of the self-regulated learning model to the foreign lan-
guage learning that supports the development of autonomous learners [3]. The self-regulated learning model
facilitates learners lead to higher efficiency in language skills such as comprehension of writing [5]. The model
consists of three main phases: forethought, performance and self-reflection [6], [7]. The self-regulated learn-
ing model encourages interaction between person, behavior, and environmental factors to increase effective
learning [8]. Computer technology is being extensively used in the education field [4], [9]. A computer-based
learning system is a tool of computer technology that can be used for encouraging interactive behavior between
personal and learning environments. A computer-based learning system could support a better learning experi-
ence that learners could engage the interactions with learning tasks [10]. In addition, the computer-based learn-
ing system supports automatic data collection for recording learning behavior while using the digital system.
The system can also automatically collect learning behavior data to analyze the pattern of learning behaviors.
Natural language processing (NLP) aims to make the computer able to understand the language
through computer processing. There are six levels of language processing: morphological, lexical analysis,
syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, pragmatics, and discourse [11]. These processes are applied to develop
many NLP tools such as word segmentation, lexical analysis and parsing [12]. Moreover, applying natural lan-
guage processing is an effective tool for enhancing the education field. NLP can improve the learning ability
of the student in case of student fails to understand the context due to the barrier of language. NLP and digital
technology are combined to improve a computer-assisted teaching system [13]. Mathew et al. [14] provide the
application of NLP techniques for an assistant tool to support teachers get insights about each student’s learning
progress. Therefore, a computer-based learning system could integrate the methods of NLP to assist Thai EFL
learners in their understanding of language structure and encourage learners’ improvement in English writing,
in particular.
Learning analytics in digital learning environments is an integration of two research fields, which are
those of education and computer technology. Learning analytics is an important issue in education. Learn-
ing analytics is the analysis of ‘learning logs’ and education data for improving learning outcomes, learning
designs, and learning environments [15]. On the other hand, computer technologies have become popular
for communications and learning. Technologies are convenience to access through portable devices such as
smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Therefore, the integration of these two fields can help improving education.
This paper aims to acquire the learning behavior by using the provided computer-based learning
system for composing the English sentences. The system is designed by incorporating concepts of the self-
regulated learning model and components of NLP. Self-regulated learning encourages learners to set goals, as
well as monitoring their behaviors and reflect writing performance to learners. The NLP learning environment
encourages action between learner and system to compose the target sentences. Furthermore, all behaviors
are automatically recorded for use in the learning analytics process. The results of learning analytics are use-
ful to demonstrate learning performance and to support the improvement of learning materials. This paper
is structured as follows: Section 2 explains background information and related works about the model of
self-regulated learning, components of NLP, and learning analytics in foreign language learning. Section 3 de-
scribes the computer-based learning system. Section 4 describes the experimental design. Section 5 describes
the experimental results. Section 6 provides a discussion. Finally, section 7 gives conclusions.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1. Self-regulated learning model
The self-regulated learning model is a conceptual framework of interaction between person, behavior
and environment in a learning context and comprises three main phases: forethought, performance and self-
reflection [16], as illustrated in Figure 1.
a. Forethought phase: Learners set goals and learning plans. The learners plan how to reach them in the
learning strategies activation process.
b. Performance phase: Learners control themselves while executing the task and they monitor their progress
in completing the task.

3. 462 ❒ ISSN: 2502-4752
c. Self-reflection phase: Learners evaluate their satisfaction in performing the task, making attributions
for their achievement or failure. These attributions generate self-reactions that positively or negatively
influence learners.
Figure 1. The three phases of self-regulated learning model
There are various works that present the benefit of using the self-regulated learning model in for-
eign language learning. A range of research papers have presented the benefits of using the self-regulated
learning model in foreign language learning. In the English language learning context, incorporating the self-
regulated learning model into the curriculum and training programs encourages autonomous, life-long learning.
Abadikhah et al. [17] investigated EFL university learners’ attitudes towards the strategies of self-regulated
learning in writing academic papers. The study compared the attitudes of two groups in the application of the
self-regulated learning model. It set out to establish whether academic education assists learners in becoming
self-regulated writers. Assessing learners’ attitudes in applying self-regulated strategies in their writing may
be benefit the design of academic writing courses. The learners’ attitudes assessment can provide detailed and
highly relevant information to help instructors enhance their learners’ performance. Instructors have an impor-
tant role in assisting learners to become self-regulated writers. Moreover, Karami et al. [4] tried to answer the
questions regarding the effect of digital technology on the writing proficiency of learner and the self-regulated
strategies usage in the context of English learning as a foreign language. The ability of the self-regulated
strategies is correlated to a higher level of writing achievement in an environment of digital technology.
2.2. Natural language processing (NLP) resources and services
NLP aims to use the technique to make the computer system understand the natural language text
or speech [18]. There are six levels of NLP tasks [11]: morphological, lexical analysis, syntactic analysis,
semantic analysis, pragmatics, and discourse.
In this paper, lexical and syntactic NLP techniques were set as a learning environment to help the
learners compose target sentences in English, as shown in Table 1. Moreover, previous works [19]–[21] relate to
improving the NLP process with linguistic knowledge for improving word alignment of SMT. Those proposed
techniques are also applied to set as learning environments such as the dictionary, Part of Speech (POS) tagging,
and tenses detection.

2.3. Background of learning analytics
Interpreting and evaluating the qualities of activities, strategies, goals and regulation involved in self-
regulated learning model is somewhat complicated. Learning behaviors data gathered in a digital learning
environment are instrumental to address these challenges [22]. However, the raw data alone are insufficient to
guide practice or shape theory. Therefore, learning analytics has a role to play in improving the effectiveness
of learning. There are various works for applying learning analytics to the education field. Learning analytics
reports data analysis that describes features or factors that influence the self-regulated model [23]. Analysis of

e-learning in factors of culture, technology or infrastructure, and content satisfaction that the analyzed results
can be used to develop the proper e-learning in a remote city of Indonesia [24].
Since learning analytics are a supporting tool in the digital environment, this paper uses learning
analytics to analyze learning behaviors of writing. All learner behaviors in the log file are analyzed in the
learning analytics process. This paper aims to investigate learning behavior that how the provided components
in the learning environment reflect the performance of English writing. In addition, learning analytics are used
to find learning behavior patterns which categorize a group of the learner.
3. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
The development of the computer-based learning system for English writing in Thai EFL learners aims
for three tasks. First, the system integrated two disciplines between the pedagogical model and components
of NLP. The self-regulated learning model is a pedagogical model that encourages self-learning, facilitated by
the use of a computer-based learning system. data analysis The components of NLP are helping to learn and
compose English sentences. Second, the system aims to collect the learning behavior in case: English writing
for Thai EFL learners. The system is designed to automatically record learning behaviors while composing
English sentences. Third, writing behaviors are analyzed for finding the English writing behavioral patterns of
Thai EFL learners. There are three main tasks that support designing and developing processes of the system.
3.1. System process for learning analytics
This paper proposes three main processes: learning profile acquisition, learning behavior and learning
analytics, as shown in Figure 2. All three main processes work coherently as starting with the process of
learning profile acquisition. First, the learning profile acquisition process aims to get information on existing
English writing skills. Next, the learning behavior collection is the process for recording the learning behavior
into the log files store in the data log storage. Finally, the process of learning analytics analyzes data of writing
behavior from the log file. The analysis result will conduct to define the behavior pattern of Thai EFL learners
in the case of English writing. The patterns of learning behavior use to reflect learners or improve the learning
materials or curriculum.
Figure 2. System overview of the computer-based learning system for learning analytics
3.1.1. Learning profile acquisition
The learning profile acquisition is an initial process that uses two steps, registration and acquisition of
existing English skills, to get information from the learner. Firstly, learners provide personal and educational
information on a registration form. Next, the English grammatical skill acquisition step uses to get the existing
writing skills. Learners test to compose the provided sentences without assisting tool for getting a learning
profile that reflects the learners existing grammatical skills in three aspects: vocabulary usage, sentence type
understanding and tense usage. Then, all answers are scored [25] and categorized into one of three levels (basic,
intermediate or advanced) in relation to their English grammatical skill before learners access to the process of
collection the learning behavior.
3.1.2. Learning behavior collection
Learning behavior collection is needed for the learning analytics process. This process connects to
the data log store for collecting learners’ behavior that is important data to analyze by the process of learning
analytics. Furthermore, this process is an integrated process for encouraging learning skills by applying the
concepts of self-regulated learning model and components of NLP into four subprocesses: source sentence

assignment, component selection, writing behavior monitoring and answering for self-reflection, as shown in
Figure 3.
The strategies of the self-regulated learning are applied to the workflow to support self-learning in
the computer-based learning environment. The components of NLP are deployed to the component for writing
guidelines into the system. When the collected behaviors are analyzed, the data of component selection can
reflect the grammatical skills of learners.
The model of self-regulated learning encourages the interaction between person, behavior, and en-
vironmental factors for effective learning [8]. According to the definition of three main phases [6], [7], the
forethought phase is a goal-setting about the learner’s need to learn. The performance phase is collecting the
learning behavior. Learners’ actions with the provided learning environment and inform their progress. The
self-reflection phase is self-assessment and behavior adaption for increasing the effective method of learning.
Therefore, this process is designed according to the three main concepts of self-regulated phases for process
efficiency [26], as illustrated in Figure 3.
(a) (b)
Figure 3. A relation between phases of (a) self-regulated learning model and (b) subprocesses of the system
a. Source sentence assignment: After learners finish the learning profile acquisition process, they access
learning behavior collection for recording writing behavior. The process of learning behavior collection
starts with a subprocess of source sentence assignment to practice writing English sentences. The learner
selects the source sentence by themselves for trying to compose the target sentence completely. Since
learners’ decision to select source sentences by themselves. This action relates to set the goal of the fore-
thought phase in the self-regulated learning model as shown in Figure 3. The source sentence selection
indicates the learner set the goal for composing the complete target sentence in English.
b. Component selection: This subprocess is designed to include the components of NLP that is an inte-
gration process between the method of NLP and the educational model. The details of the components
of NLP are described in section 3.2. These components of NLP are designed to help learners compose
English sentences and to motivate them in their writing. The selected component by learners will demon-
strate their grammatical needs through the defined components selection. When the source sentence is
assigned by the learner, the provided components are used to assist for target sentence composition. All
selected components and time usage are recorded in the log file. Moreover, component selection is also
related to the forethought phase of the self-regulated learning model, as shown in Figure 3. Component
selection by the users themselves indicates they have a plan to write the English sentence properly.
c. Writing behavior monitoring: The subprocess is designed to allow monitoring learners to monitor their
progress in sentence composition. The system records all activities that since the learners select source
sentences, selects all NLP components for writing guidelines, until they submit the target sentences.
When learners finish composing all target sentences, this subprocess will process the activity parameters
in the log file and show results for learners’ observation, namely: amount of sentences, the selected
component, and time usage. Since the learners monitor or observe their writing performance results by
themselves that relates to the concept of self-observation in the performance phase (shown in Figure 3).
d. Answering for self-reflection: In the last subprocess of learning behavior collection, the learners answer
a self-reflection questionnaire containing questions to do with their writing [17]. This subprocess helps
learners to reflect on their writing behavior, some of which learners may be able to use in adapting their
subsequent writing. The learners’ reflection and behavior adaption that related to self-reaction of the
self-reflection phase in the model of self-regulated learning are shown in Figure 3.

3.1.3. Learning analytics
Learning analytics are designed to analyze learning behavior from behavioral data in the log files. The
analysis process aims to analyze writing behavior using the computer-based learning system. The process also
analyzes the provided components in order to reflect the writing performance. This process uses a statistical
analysis method [27] to find out the learning behavior pattern. The statistical method determines the writing
behavior in the behavior transition form. The result of behavior patterns can support for consideration of
writing proficiency. Moreover, the process supports finding the best practice of learning patterns that use the
suggestions of other learners.
3.2. Learning environment of the computer-based learning system
The learning environment for writing guidelines consists of two main materials: learning materials
and NLP materials as shown in Figure 4. The learning materials are composed of English writing tasks to
practice for English sentence composition and instruction for introducing system usage. The NLP materials
include components to help the English sentence composition. There are two reasons for setting NLP materials
to support English writing tasks. Firstly, the NLP materials involve linguistic understanding through NLP
processes such as lexical, syntactic and semantic levels. Second, since many Thai EFL learners think in Thai
before translating their ideas into English sentences, a better understanding of the components of linguistics
guidelines can help in the writing of appropriate English sentences.
The components of NLP are divided into two levels: lexical and syntactic, as shown in Table 1. The
provided assisting components of the lexical level assist learners to write proper vocabulary i.e. dictionary
and plurality. The components of the syntactic level guide learners to use appropriate grammar in sentence
structure and tenses, including aspects such as part of speech (POS), verb pattern and word alignment. The
screen example for assisting components of NLP is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 4. Learning environment of the computer-based learning system for English writing
The background of NLP used for applying to create the provided components that assist learners to
compose the complete target sentence as details below:
a. POS component: This component uses word segmentation and POS tagging by SWATH [24]. The POS
tag set is using based on the ORCHID corpus [28].
b. Dictionary component: This component uses word segmentation by LexTo+ [29]. Then, the word- seg-
ment of Thai is matched with the English word by using the API of Thai-English LEXiTRON dictionary
[30].
c. Verb pattern component: This component defines the POS tag by SWATH [31]. Then, the verb or
auxiliary verb is identified in the tense of their word by grammatical attributes extraction [20].
d. Plurality component: This component uses lemmatization to extract English plural words and transform
the word using rules of plurality. Then, machine translation is used to match the plural word in English
with its Thai equivalent.
e. Word alignment component: This component uses word segmentation and POS tagging by SWATH
[31]. Then, the word alignment uses the IBM model of GIZA word alignment [32] to align words of
both languages.

4. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
The experiment was designed using behavioral data to analyze the learning behavioral patterns of
Thai EFL learners. The behavioral data were collected by automatic data collection (ADC) method [33] that
automatically recorded into log files while learners write the English sentence via the computer-based system.
The behavioral sequential analysis method was used to explore the learning behavior pattern of Thai EFL
learners in the case of English writing.
4.1. Participants
The system collects learning behavior into a log file when learners were writing the English sentence
via the computer-based learning system. The learners write English tasks for a duration of about 1 hour. A total
of 31 undergraduate students participated in this study. Their personal information was removed during the
research processing. All writing activities were recorded in the log file for analysis by the behavioral sequential
analysis method.
4.2. Coding scheme
The coding schema is required for sequential analysis method [33], [34]. However, this study uses
the computer-based learning system for English writing that automatically records the learning behavior log.
The learning system is implemented for getting learning behaviors. The coding process is based on learner
behaviors that operating with the system. When learners use the provided learning system to practice English
composition, writing behavior such as “composition”, “selection”, “insertion”, “modification” and “deletion”
are recorded in the log files. Then, all data of writing behavior are used to generate the patterns of learning
behavior.
a. Composition (CP): When learners type to compose the target sentence in English, they can type in the
provided textbox. While learners type each word in the sentence, all typing will be recorded in the log
file.
b. Selection (SL): When learners are interested in the components of NLP for assisting sentence composi-
tion, they can select a particular component (or components). Then, all actions of component selection
will be collected in the log file. The component of NLP consists of five components: dictionary, POS,
verb pattern, plurality and word alignment.
− Dictionary selection (SL-dict): When learners click the dictionary button, this indicates their inter-
est in the appropriate words for composing each sentence.
Indonesian J Elec Eng & Comp Sci, Vol. 25, No. 1, January 2022: 460–473
8. Indonesian J Elec Eng & Comp Sci ISSN: 2502-4752 ❒ 467
− POS selection (SL-POS): Sometimes, learners are confused about which part of speech a word
belongs to, such as mistaking noun forms and verb forms in a sentence. When learners click the
POS button, this indicates their desire to increase confidence in the part of speech of words.
− Verb pattern (SL-verb): When learners click the verb pattern button this indicates their interest in
the structure of tenses in each sentence.
− Plurality (SL-plural): Due to differences in relation to singular and plural nouns between Thai and
English, there are many different rules regarding pluralization. When learners click the plurality
button, this indicates their interest in using the singular or plural nouns in each sentence.
− Word alignment (SL-align): When learners click the word alignment button, this indicates their
interest in the order of words and pairs of words that are aligned in Thai and English sentences.
c. Insertion (IS): When learners demand to add some words or phrases into the target sentence, they can
move the cursor to the desired position and type additional words or phrases into the sentence. Then,
these actions will be recorded in the log file.
d. Modification (MD): When learners want to delete some words or partial in the target sentence, they can
move the cursor to the desired position and click the backspace button to delete some words or parts of
the sentence. Then, these actions will be recorded in the log file.
e. Deletion (DL): Learners can click the “deletion” button when they want to compose the new target
sentence and delete a whole sentence. Then, the text box will be cleared. Next, learners compose the
new target sentence into the same text box. These actions are recorded in the log file.
5. BEHAVIORAL LEARNING ANALYTICS
In this paper, learning analytics aims to analyze writing behaviors by using the method of behavioral
sequential analysis [27] to determine behavior transitions. The analysis process used to analyze learning behav-
ior with the assisting component in the provided learning environment reflects the behavior of English writing.
The analysis of learning behavior is used to investigate all behavior for finding the learning behavior pattern.
The behavioral sequential analysis is a statistical analysis method that uses the sequential analysis
matrix to calculate the behavioral transition [34]. The method uses calculation of the frequency of the behaviors
sequence and the z-value to determine the behavior transition. Results greater than 1.96 indicated behavior
sequences that reached statistical significance [27], [34]. The sample of the matrix of a sequential behavior
series is calculated to z- value, as shown in Figure 6. Then, the z-values were greater than 1.96 were selected
to generate the learning behavior transition.
Figure 6. The sample of calculation for sequential behavior frequency to z-value
5.1. Analysis of individual learning behavior pattern based on existing english skills
The 31 participants were separated into three groups based on existing English skills (basic, interme-
diate or advanced). The writing behaviors of individual learners were analyzed using the behavioral sequential

analysis method. This method starts by defining the coding schemes from the writing behaviors which collect
behaviors while learners use the provided computer-based system. The coding schemes represent the writing
behavior of learners. The frequencies of sequential behavior were calculated into the matrix of a series of
sequential behavior. Then, all frequencies are calculated to z-value for conducting to explore the writing be-
havior patterns. A z-value greater than 1.96 indicates the behavior sequences reach significance. The behavior
transition of each learner used to represent the significant behavior sequences as illustrated in Figures 7 to 9.
5.1.1. The individual learning behavior pattern in the basic level
The individual behavior pattern of 14 learners in the basic level as shown in Figure 7. All individual
behavior patterns of basic level were separated into five groups:
a. Learning Behavior Pattern 1: “modification” has sequential correlations with “composition”
b. Learning Behavior Pattern 2: “dictionary selection” has sequential correlations with “composition”
c. Learning Behavior Pattern 3: “word alignment selection” has sequential correlations with “composition”
d. Learning Behavior Pattern 4: “verb pattern selection” has sequential correlations with “composition”
e. Learning Behavior Pattern 5: “insertion” has sequential correlations with “composition”
Analysis of the five groups of learning behavior patterns indicated that the ‘basic’ group learners
used the NLP components of dictionary, word alignment and verb pattern to assist them in composing English
sentences.

5.1.3. The individual learning behavior pattern in the advanced level
The individual behavior pattern of nine learners in the advanced level are shown in Figure 9. All
individual advanced level behavior patterns were separated into three groups:
a. Learning Behavior Pattern 1: “modification” has sequential correlations with “composition”
b. Learning Behavior Pattern 2: “dictionary selection” has sequential correlations with “composition”
c. Learning Behavior Pattern 3: “insertion” has sequential correlations with “composition”
Analysis of the three groups of learning behavior patterns indicated that the ‘advanced’ group learners
used the NLP components of only dictionary to assist them in composing English sentences .
5.2. Analysis of frequency for the provided components usage
The provided components of NLP support learners with the grammatical aspects of English writing
and helped them to compose the target sentences. There are five components: dictionary, part of speech, verb
pattern, plurality, and word alignment. As shown in Figure 10, the dictionary component usage of the basic
level is used the most of all the provided components. Moreover, the dictionary component usage indicates the
component is a satisfactory component to use for all levels. It found that the highest frequency and percentage of
each level. The verb pattern and word alignment components are the subordinate components for the provided
component usage.

6. DISCUSSION
This paper aimed to develop a computer-based learning system with which to analyze the learning
behavior observed. The system developed to acquire the learning behavior in the case of English writing of
Thai EFL learners by using the provided system for composing the English sentences. All learning behavior
from the provided system was used for learning behavior analytics. The learning analytics process was used to
find out the Thai EFL learners’ pattern of learning behavior.
For the system development, the system was designed by incorporating concepts of the self-regulated
learning model with the computer-based learning system. The concepts of self-regulated learning support
lifelong autonomous learning for foreign language learning. From the behavior of system usage, we found that
learners who assign the source sentences (Thai) by themselves spend less time composing the target sentences
(English) than the learners who composed the target sentence from the system randomly. The reason for less
time being required is that learners were able to choose the source sentence with which they were confident to
compose the target sentence. The learners who set goals by themselves reflect to set goals in an initial phase
(forethought) in the self-regulated learning model that indicates the concept of the self-regulated learning model
supports the increase the learning performance.

Three groups of learning behavior patterns were observed: basic, intermediate and advanced. The
basic level learners used the NLP components more than intermediate and advanced level learners, as shown in
Figures 7 to 9. The components of NLP helped basic level learners to compose and modify the target sentences
(in English) using components such as dictionary, word alignment and verb pattern. Intermediate level learners
chose the dictionary and word alignment components to assist target sentence composition. On the other hand,
The dictionary component was the main assisting component to compose and modify the target sentence for
learners of advanced level. Moreover, The learners in the basic level used all assisting components more than
the intermediate and advanced level learners, as may be observed from the percentage of component usage
of basic level in Figure 10. Therefore, the basic level learners’ component usage indicates that they have
weaknesses in vocabulary and sentence structure, as shown in Table 2.

7. CONCLUSION
This paper describes the importance of computer-based learning system development and learning
analytics. Firstly, the multidisciplinary system integrates elements of the self-regulated learning model and
components of NLP. Applying the self-regulated learning model supports personalized foreign language learn-
ing. The provided components as a writing guideline tool were used to assist English writing at the lexical
and syntactic levels. The system collects the Thai EFL learners’ writing behavior. The behavior data were
necessary to generate learning behavior patterns. Since a computer-based learning system had not been devel-
oped for collecting writing behavior in Thailand, the learning behavior data from this system are useful for the
analytics process that may assist in plans to improve Thai EFL learners language learning. Second, learning
analytics is a useful process for finding the learning behavior pattern of Thai EFL learners in the case of English
writing. Then, the behavioral patterns that use for reflecting learners and improving the learning materials or
curriculum. For example, Thai EFL learners of all levels are required to improve vocabulary by observed from
the frequency of dictionary component usage more than other components. The behavior sequential analysis
was used to analyze the learning logs from the computer-based learning system. The 31 undergraduate students
provided samples of their writing behavior via the computer-based learning system. The learning patterns of
three groups of participants (basic, intermediate and advanced) were compared and found to be different. Since
learners at the basic level have grammatical weaknesses, learners at the basic level use NLP components more
than intermediate and advanced level learners. In the future, learning analytics is planned to use the machine
learning method for learning behavior analysis. The machine learning method is used to create a pattern pre-
diction model. The model is useful for improving personalized learning, learning material design and in the
planning of English writing courses.
