Abstract
This research uses machine learning to assess student systems thinking in the context of Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus. The study tests whether machine learning can identify key concepts in student responses and explores student understanding of FEW interconnections. Across 26 models, accuracy ranged from 0.755 to 0.992. Students demonstrated better understanding of water usage changes than trade-offs. The research highlights the potential of text classification for assessing interdisciplinary learning and identifies future research priorities.
