Understanding the 'Skipping Explanations' Anti-Pattern

Overview

Some students are experiencing confusion regarding the triggering of the 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern. This issue arises when the anti-pattern is being triggered for students who have high overall percentages, which seems contradictory to the guidelines. The guidelines suggest that the anti-pattern should be triggered if a student's performance is below the 'optimal learning zone', which is defined as below 80% accuracy.

Solution

The 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern is triggered in real-time and does not correlate with overall performance. This means that if a student skips explanations after answering questions incorrectly and their accuracy at that time is lower than 80%, the anti-pattern will be triggered. This means that even if the student later improves their overall accuracy to over 80%, the anti-pattern will not be removed. The only way to prevent the anti-pattern is for students to take their time to review explanations if they get a wrong answer.

The time that students need to spend on reading the explanation is:

  • 2 sec for skills lower than 5th grade
  • 5 sec for skills above 5th grade

Summary

The 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern is triggered in real-time and is not linked to overall performance. It is activated when a student's accuracy falls below 80% and they skip explanations. Improving overall accuracy later will not remove the anti-pattern which means the student can obtain an overall accuracy over 80% while receiving the AP. The best way to avoid this is to review explanations when a wrong answer is given.

FAQ

  1. Does the 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern correlate with overall performance?
    No, the anti-pattern is triggered in real-time and does not correlate with overall performance.
  2. Will improving my overall accuracy remove the 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern?
    No, once the anti-pattern is triggered, improving overall accuracy will not remove it.
  3. How can I avoid triggering the 'skipping explanations' anti-pattern?
    The best way to avoid triggering the anti-pattern is to review explanations when a wrong answer is given.
