摘要
学习分析(LA)中的 "闭环 "需要持续的设计和研究工作,以确保从学习分析中产生的技术创新能够解决教育工作者在日常学习环境中遇到的实际问题。本文探讨的一种方法是将学习分析设计为教育环境中人类活动系统的一部分,而不是将学习分析概念化为提供判断的独立系统。简而言之,本文提供了一个案例研究,说明实验室如何生成数据表示,为学习社区内的扩展和审议决策提供基础。本文提供的案例研究利用社会网络分析(SNA)来监测澳大利亚一所大型学院几年来围绕教与学的决策模式的变化,因为该学院正在开展一项有组织的实践者研究计划。文中提供并讨论了如何将各种 SNA 指标转化为学院、学院领导、教师和学生切实关心的问题。
Closing the loop by expanding the scope: using learning analytics within a pragmatic adaptive engagement with complex learning environments
“Closing the loop” in Learning Analytics (LA) requires an ongoing design and research effort to ensure that the technological innovation emerging from LA addresses the actual, pragmatic problems of educators in everyday learning environments. An approach to doing so explored in this paper is to design LA as a part of the human systems of activity within an educational environment, as opposed to conceptualising LA as a stand-alone system offering judgement. In short, this paper offers a case-study of how LA can generate data representations that can provide the basis for expansive and deliberative decision-making within the learning community. The case-study provided makes use of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to monitor the changing patterns of decision making around teaching and learning in a very large Australian college over several years as that college embarked on an organised program of practitioner research. Examples of how the various SNA metrics can be translated into matters of pragmatic concern to the college, its leaders, teachers and students, are provided and discussed.
