Extract instructional process from xAPI log data: a case study in Japanese junior high school

Abstract

This study proposed a method to automatically extract the instructional process from log data, which can be collected daily, to encourage teachers to reflect. We applied the proposed method to log data collected in a classroom and reported how the class proceeded. This is important to obtain feedback on the process of instruction and for teachers to improve their daily teaching. One of the popular methods of extracting instructional processes for teachers’ reflection has been video recording. However, it is challenging to use video recording for their reflection in daily classes because of data collection and analysis costs. To resolve this issue, our proposed method utilizes data that can be collected from daily class activities. This study offers a cost-effective and efficient method for teachers to visualize their instructional process and identify areas for improvement, contributing to the overall improvement of education quality.
