description |
This study represents a review of Learning Analytics journals with the goal to examine reported
research objectives, educational data collected and the intended end-user of the corresponding
analysed data proposed by all current studies available in relevant databases. A total of 62 research
articles were selected from an initial accumulation of 373 papers for this review. The findings present
a clear divergence of Learning Analytics research into distinct subsets and it is revealed that the term
“Learning Analytics” is labelled indiscriminately. We then show how a categorization of research
subsets will prompt a reduction of term sprawl and also to avert confusion in the current education
research environment. With this key points above we offer an approach to classify future Learning
Analytics research into three specific subsets (student-centric, teacher-centric and institution-centric)
based on identifiable criteria with the goal of fostering new avenues for future ground breaking
research works in education. |
