arXiv:2606. 19469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Undergraduate computer science is governed by international curricular guidelines revised about once a decade, yet programs lack a reliable, reproducible way to measure how completely they cover the current guidelines and how that coverage shifts when the guidelines are restructured.

arXiv:2608. 13708v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatically generating textbook-grounded assessment items can reduce science teachers' workload, but existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems rely on flat retrieval, support only single-question generation, lack safeguards against weak evidence, and are ill-suited to low-resource, board-exam-structured curricula.

arXiv:2608. 03206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) power educational applications from tutoring to essay scoring, but each is a point solution to a single task, and only recently have these point solutions been integrated into agents operating over a learning management system (LMS).

arXiv:2607. 02432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalable and reliable grading of command-line examinations remains a challenge in computing education, where rising enrolments make manual marking difficult and rule-based autograders cannot handle partial credit, equivalent solutions, or syntactic variation.

arXiv:2608. 16963v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning analytics often treats unsupervised clusters of intelligent tutoring system (ITS) logs as learner types that should predict learning.

arXiv:2607. 26317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Psychometric calibration for educational tests typically requires costly human response data.

arXiv:2606. 25984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed as investment research assistants, yet no benchmark tests whether they can accurately reconstruct and apply the specific procedural decision frameworks of expert investors.

arXiv:2608. 14808v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a user question is underspecified, a capable model should recognize that its context is insufficient, identify the missing information, ask for it, and respond only once that information determines a unique answer.

Large reasoning models (LRMs) often improve math and coding performance, but their effect on instruction following is unclear. We study IFEval with Qwen3 models (1.
arXiv:2606. 06546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating large language models (LLMs) for education requires measuring how models teach, not only what they know.
