Abstract

Knowledge tracing aims to dynamically assess students’ mastery of knowledge. Factors such as changes in learners’ knowledge structures and cognitive interactions influence this process. Existing methods suffer from two limitations. At the static level, these approaches simplify heterogeneous interactions among students, questions, and knowledge points into homogeneous treatment. This simplification hinders the capture of high-order dependencies. At the dynamic level, current techniques reduce continuously evolving knowledge states to discrete binary jumps. This reduction disconnects the model from real learning feedback. To address these issues, this paper proposed a model based on multi-view contrastive learning for knowledge tracing (MCLKT). First, it jointly modelled heterogeneous and homogeneous graphs to capture multidimensional interactions among students, questions, and knowledge points. Second, it employed designed bipartite graphs and hypergraphs to extract question weights and student proficiencies. This design explicitly captured high-order dependencies in answer behaviors. Finally, it defined a Q-Pattern subgraph to model local subgraphs and their interactions and applied a cross-view contrastive loss to maximize structural consistency. The model underwent evaluation on three public datasets, demonstrating AUC improvements of 0.69%~1.58% and ACC gains of 0.21%~1.78%, alongside an RMSE reduction of 1.17%~1.75%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of multi-view contrastive learning in enhancing knowledge tracing performance.
