arXiv:2607. 26063v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personalised learning systems often assume that mathematical ability is combined of discrete abilities, acquired sequentially and dependent upon first acquiring foundational abilities, and students often report different strengths.

Study-Strategy Clusters from EdNet Logs Track Engagement, Not Mastery

The study clusters 5,000 EdNet-KT3 learners into eight study‑strategy groups based on early‑session behaviors such as resource use, revision, video watching, and problem practice. These clusters predict later engagement metrics—like continued practice and session completion—but do not reliably forecast later unassisted accuracy or mastery. The findings suggest that behavioral clustering captures learning styles and engagement patterns rather than knowledge gains.
