Learning Analysis

Abstract: Normally, Learning Analytics (LA) can be focused on the analysis of the learning process or the student behavior. In this paper is analyzed the use of LA in the context of distance learning universities, particularly focuses on the students’ behavior. We propose to use a new concept, called "Autonomic Cycle of Learning Analysis Tasks", which defines a set of tasks of LA, whose common objective is to achieve an improvement in the process under study. In this paper, we develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" to analyze the dropout in distance learning institutions. We use a business intelligence methodology in order to develop the "Autonomic Cycle of LA Tasks" for the analysis of the dropout in distance learning. The Autonomic Cycle identifies factors that influence the decision of a student to abandon their studies, predicts the potentially susceptible students to abandon their university studies, and define a motivational pattern for these students.  Spanish Abstract: Normalmente, La Análitica del Aprendizaje puede enfocarse en el análisis del proceso de aprendizaje, o en el análisis del comportamiento del estudiante. En este artículo se analiza el uso de LA en el contexto de las universidades a distancia, centrándonos particularmente en el comportamiento de los estudiantes. Para ello, proponemos utilizar un nuevo concepto, llamado "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas de Análitica del Aprendizaje", que define un conjunto de tareas de LA, cuyo objetivo común es lograr una mejora en el proceso bajo estudio. En este artículo se desarrolla el "Ciclo Autonómico de Tareas LA" para analizar la deserción estudiantil en las instituciones de educación a distancia. Para ello, utilizamos una metodología de inteligencia de negocios con el fin de desarrollar dicho ciclo para el análisis de la deserción en el aprendizaje a distancia. El Ciclo Autonómico identifica factores que influyen en la decisión del estudiante de abandonar sus estudios universitarios, predice los estudiantes potencialmente susceptibles a desertar, y define un patrón de motivación para estos estudiantes.

The 20th volume of the CLEI electronic journal includes six papers selected from an open call for papers on Natural Language Processing (NLP), processed by invited editors Gerardo Sierra and César Aguilar, and an additional regular paper. The NLP subject was suggested by Gabriela Marín and Antonio Leoni de León, the chairs of NLPCR 2016, the First Costa-Rican Colloquium on Natural Language Processing. The invited editors took care of the review process and the selection of the six papers, as discussed in their Preface which opens this issue. The additional regular paper is a contribution by Jose Aguilar, Guido Riofrío, and Eduardo Encalada, titled "Learning Analytics focused on student behavior. Case study: dropout in distance learning institutions", which focuses on the use of Learning Analytics for undestanding student behavior in the context of distance learning universities, particularly focuses on the students’ behavior, with the goal of identifying factors that influence the decision of a student to abandon their studies, predicting students susceptible to abandon their studies, and defining their motivational patterns. This issue, which opens the 20th volume of the journal, is a mark of the success of the mission of CLEIej as a vehicle for publishing Latin American based original research in subjects of international interest; we are glad to be able to develop this mission with the support of the researchers who kindly contribute their time as invited editors and reviewers of the papers received.

In both computer-based and traditional educational environments, there has been a growing organization of learning in groups with an increased use of teams and group projects (Berg, 2003). Goldman (1999) claims that traditionally education is seen as an activity of isolated thinkers pursuing truth in a spirit of American self-reliance. However, in practice education is very much a social activity, especially the research component that is heavily dependent on colleagues. In fact, some argue that the key to the learning process as a whole is the interaction among students, and between faculty and students (Palloff & Pratt, 1999). Group learning approaches have been widely adopted by many of the leading distance learning institutions, and consequently an understanding of this approach is important.

The Impact

Indonesia began to be affected by Covid-19 in early 2020, of course, this will give changes to all sectors of life. One sector that has also felt the impact is the education sector. On March 24, 2020, the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia issued a government circular number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Education Policy in an Emergency for the Spread of COVID, by stipulating the provisions of the teaching and learning process starting from tertiary to basic education levels to be carried out online or learning at home. This distance learning course provides new challenges for teachers, students, and parents, in its implementation. This research aims to find out more clearly how the distance learning process and what obstacles are faced by teachers, students, and parents at SDN 3 Banjar Sari during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The method used in this research is qualitative research methods. This type of research uses a multi-case study design. Research results: the teacher has tried to do several learning methods, but until now there is no method that is considered the most effective in the teaching and learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic. Each method used by the teacher does not escape from various obstacles and shortcomings. Even so, teachers still try their best to carry out their duties in order to realize the goals of education

Summer Semester

The chapter characterizes the transformation of the learning process from full-time to distance learning on the example of Faculty of Economics, Matej Bel University in Slovakia, during the COVID-19 epidemic in the form of case study. The chapter analyses the strengths and weaknesses of this process during the summer semester 2019/2020 based on the secondary data and results of a questionnaire survey among faculty students realized in 2 rounds – in the first stage of transformation (April 2020) and after the end of summer semester (June 2020). It identifies the key steps that have (or had) to be taken to overcome the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the key challenges for the future development of virtual learning as a full compensation of full-time form of study from the students' and faculty's perspective. This case is an example of smart education in crisis situations. The results show that distance learning can be a suitable complement to the fully presence learning process, and temporarily, it can replace it in emergency situations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on Indonesia’s education system. Learning has had to be conducted remotely to prevent students from contracting COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to determine the innovations implemented by teachers so that learning could continue and to find out how student character can be strengthened through distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative approach was taken, using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with informants. The results showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, learning was carried out in online networks by utilizing technology. ZOOM and WhatsApp were the applications most often used in the learning process. It was also found that the character of students can be strengthened through distance learning. For example, some teachers suggested that students pray together with their close family and other relatives. Teachers also encouraged students to help with the house chores of the family.
