New high-frequency multimodal data collection technologies and machine learning analysis techniques could offer new insights into learning, especially when students have the opportunity to generate unique, personalized artifacts, such as computer programs, robots, and solutions engineering challenges. To date most of the work on learning analytics and educational data mining has been focused on online courses and cognitive tutors, both of which provide a high degree of structure to the tasks, and are restricted to interactions that occur in front of a computer screen. In this paper, we argue that multimodal learning analytics can offer new insights into students’ learning trajectories in more complex and open-ended learning environments. We present several examples of this work and its educational application.

Reinforcement of the technology-enhanced education transformed education into a data-intensive domain. As in many other data-intensive domains, the interest for data analysis through various analytics is growing. The article starts by defining LA, with relevant views on the literature. A discussion about the relationships between LA, educational data mining and academic analytics is included in the background section. In the main section of the article, the learning analytics, as an emerging trend in the educational systems is describe, by discussing the main issues, controversies, problems on this topic. Final part of the article presents the future research directions and the conclusion.

Educational data mining (EDM) creates high impact in the field of academic domain. EDM is concerned with developing new methods to discover knowledge from educational and academic database and can be used for decision making in educational and academic systems. EDM is useful in many different areas including identifying at risk students, identifying priority learning needs for different groups of students, increasing graduation rates, effectively assessing institutional performance, maximizing campus resources, and optimizing subject curriculum renewal. This chapter discusses educational data mining, its applications, and techniques that have to be adopted in order to successfully employ educational data mining and learning analytics for improving teaching and learning. The techniques and applications discussed in this chapter will provide a clear-cut idea to the educational data mining researchers to carry out their work in this field.

Education at all levels is increasingly augmented and enhanced by data mining and analytics, catalysed by the growing prevalence of automated distance learning. With an unprecedented capacity to scale both horizontally (individuals reached) and vertically (level of analysis), data mining and analytics are set to be a transformative part of the future of education. We reflect on the assumptions behind data mining and the potential consequences of learning analytics, with reference to an issue brief prepared for the U.S. Department of Education entitled Enhancing Teaching and Learning Through Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics. We argue that the associated gains conceal subtle, but important risks. Data-ism, an underpinning paradigm, assigns unjustified veracity to data-driven science and the application of personalised analytics may compromise individual privacy, agency and inventiveness. This holds serious ethical implications, particularly when considering the impact on minors, rendering wholesale adoption premature.

Este trabalho tem o intuito de trazer uma abordagem sobre os conceitos do pensamento computacional (PC), atrelado ao uso de Serious Games (SGs) e associado em conjunto com a análise da aprendizagem de Jogos (Game Learning Analytics), na perspectiva da abordagem dos conceitos da aprendizagem dos conteúdos de matemática, em específico a probabilidade. A partir desse tipo de análise, é possível ter um conjunto de dados capaz de elucidar situações relacionadas ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem, também conhecidos como Educational Data Mining (EDM) – em português, Mineração de Dados Educacionais. O objetivo deste trabalho busca validar um modelo conceitual aplicado ao Game Learning Analytics (GLA), combinado com ferramentas de visualização para extrair informações relevantes da interação do estudante com os Serious Games (SGs) empregados ao ensino de probabilidade nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental. Nossa metodologia é de natureza quantitativa. Neste sentido, este estudo tem o propósito de desenvolver e validar um modelo conceitual sobre o ensino de probabilidade por meio da abordagem de Game Learning Analytics GLA e que seja desenvolvido para apoio e análise de dados da aprendizagem dos estudantes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental.Link para o vídeo da apresentação: https://youtu.be/r-gZnoGbxno
