Toward Contextualized Handwriting Process Analysis: Comparison Between Problem Types in Math

Abstract

Handwriting logs in the math answering process have recently been collected, and features related to the answering performance and the process, such as the stroke duration, have been investigated. However, the results reported in previous studies showed inconsistencies, and sufficient consideration had not been given to the differences in the problem types. In this study, we classified some problems into two types and verified whether there is a difference in the effect of the handwriting process on performance in each feature. The result of the analysis showed a significant difference in the effects of problems on the features used in this study, such as answering time and number of strokes. This study contributes to the need to take into consideration the problem type in learning support with handwriting process logs.
