A Machine-Learning Approach to Recognizing Teaching Beliefs in Narrative Stories of Outstanding Professors

Abstract

The coding of text information to recognize the teaching beliefs of outstanding professors is crucial research to enhance teaching performance in university. Most previous studies adopted manual coding, and thus text information was limited to briefly descriptive statements or questionnaires, rather than full narrative stories of outstanding professors, owing to the time-consuming of manual coding. However, outstanding professors’ narrative stories, which contained more detailed information about the outstanding professors’ thinking and behaviors, were valuable text information to recognize the types of teaching beliefs of outstanding professors. Therefore, to overcome the time-consuming obstacle of manual coding, this study proposes a machine-learning-based approach, which exploits BERT with convolutional LSTM, to code narrative stories of outstanding teachers for the identification of the types of teaching …
