Abstract: Knowledge tracing (KT) aims to model a learner's knowledge mastery level through his historical exercise records to predict future learning performance. Using this technology, learners can get appropriate customized exercises based on their current knowledge states, and thus the great potential of personalized teaching services such as intelligent tutoring systems and learning material recommendations can be stimulated. Currently, the mainstream datasets in KT include ASSISTments, EdNet, STATICS2011, etc., which are mainly based on objective testing data in the fields of mathematics and language, lacking of datasets on music performance assessment. Therefore, based on the context of performance assessment in music education, specifically sight-singing evaluation, we introduce "SingPAD," the first dataset for performance assessment and the first music dataset in the field of KT, with abundant data collected by a public intelligent sight-singing practice platform, "SingMaster." Unlike the existing KT datasets, each question in "SingPAD" is defined as a note in a music score, and learners' music performance can be evaluated objectively and automatically utilizing music information retrieval technology. Several classical knowledge tracing models are tested on "SingPAD," and the experimental results show that "SingPAD" exhibits good consistency and discriminability with existing datasets. "SingPAD" can be used as a benchmark dataset for applying knowledge tracing models to predict music knowledge mastery levels and promote the development of knowledge tracing research.
