Abstract:Online learning has amplified the need to understand how student engagement patterns influence learning outcomes, particularly given the flexibility of technology-mediated environments. To address this, we propose a Bayesian nonparametric dynamic item response theory (IRT) framework that tracks within-individual ability trajectories across instructional units. The proposed model integrates B-spline basis expansions to capture nonlinear effects of engagement behaviors on ability drift, alongside a Mixture-of-Finite-Mixtures (MFM) prior to automatically determine the number of latent learner clusters. This framework overcomes three limitations in the existing literature: (1) rigid linearity assumptions in engagement-ability relationships, (2) dependence on pre-specified cluster counts, and (3) the inability to track longitudinal ability dynamics. We apply the model to longitudinal data from 198 undergraduates completing a 9-chapter introductory statistics course on CourseKata. The model automatically identified four distinct learner profiles: struggling-declining (11\%), low-stable (23\%), mainstream-stable (55\%), and high-improving (12\%). Results indicate that ability trajectories remained remarkably stable across chapters, and engagement quantity metrics did not significantly predict ability drift. These findings suggest that in introductory online statistics education, academic ability primarily reflects a stable pre-existing characteristic rather than a dynamically malleable course outcome. Ultimately, this framework offers a flexible tool for learner profiling to inform adaptive instructional design.
