Abstract
Causal reasoning is difficult for middle school students to grasp. In this research, we wanted to test the possibility of using machine learning algorithms for modeling students’ causal reasoning in a virtual environment de- signed to assess this skill. The goal was to expand our design to include feed- back. Our findings suggest it is possible to use machine learning to emulate student pathways that are able to predict their causal understanding.
