    Resumen tomado de la publicaciónDescubriendo procesos de aprendizaje aplicando Inductive Miner: un estudio de caso en Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Antecedentes: en la minería de procesos con datos educativos se utilizan diferentes algoritmos para descubrir modelos, sobremanera el Alpha Miner, el Heuristic Miner y el Evolutionary Tree Miner. En este trabajo proponemos la implementación de un nuevo algoritmo en datos educativos, el denominado Inductive Miner. Método: hemos utilizado datos de interacción de 101 estudiantes universitarios en una asignatura de grado desarrollada en la plataforma Moodle 2.0. Una vez prepocesados se ha realizado la minería de procesos sobre 21.629 eventos para descubrir los modelos que generan los diferentes algoritmos y comparar sus medidas de ajuste, precisión, simplicidad y generalización. Resultados: en las pruebas realizadas en nuestro conjunto de datos el algoritmo Inductive Miner es el que obtiene mejores resultados, especialmente para el valor de ajuste, criterio de mayor relevancia en lo que respecta al descubrimiento de modelos. Además, cuando ponderamos con pesos las diferentes métricas seguimos obteniendo la mejor medida general con el Inductive Miner. Conclusiones: la implementación de Inductive Miner en datos educativos es una nueva aplicación que, además de obtener mejores resultados que otros algoritmos con nuestro conjunto de datos, proporciona modelos válidos e interpretables en términos educativos.Universidad de Oviedo.

    AbstractE-learning gives students challenges inherent to the system which are reflected in the way these equate learning tasks. In this system, students need greater self-orientation and self-regulation to achieve their academic goals. Calibration is a measure of the relationship between the degree of confidence in the performance and accuracy in the same. This study aims to identify the association between the degree of calibration and a real grade in a evaluative task and analyse the causes given by students to their real grade and implications for their learning future. The participation of 62 undergraduate distance learning students of both sexes, with continuous evaluation, occurred in three specific times. After they know their results, they indicated the implications of this exercise according to how close, or not, they were from the real grade.The results point to a positive correlation between the ratings given by the students after completion of the test and its real grade. The content analysis revealed the existence of two categories - Causality and Consequences. Self-orientation for general or specific objectives, by students, is extremely important. This importance is increased when we are in online contexts where the emphasis is on students as they are responsible for their own learning process. To lead students to reflect on their learning strategy and to adequate their metacognitive strategies to achieve success in the task takes on great relevance

    En este artículo, aplicamos técnicas de minería de datos para descubrir rutas de aprendizaje frecuentes. Hemos utilizado datos de 84 estudiantes universitarios, seguidos en un curso online usando Moodle 2.0. Proponemos agrupar a los estudiantes, en primer lugar, a partir de los datos de una síntesis de uso de Moodle y/o las calificaciones finales de los alumnos en un curso. Luego, usamos los datos de los logs de Moodle sobre cada cluster/grupo de estudiantes separadamente con el fin de poder obtener más específicos y precisos modelos de procesos del comportamiento de los estudiantes.In this paper, we apply techniques data mining to discover common learning routes. We have used data from 84 undergraduate college students who followed an online course using Moodle 2.0. We propose to group students firstly starting from data about Moodle’s usage summary and/or the students’ final marks in the course. Then, we use data from Moodle’s logs about each cluster/group of students separately in order to be able to obtain more specific and accurate process models of students’ behaviour

    A review on data fusion in multimodal learning analytics and educational data mining

    Get PDF
    The new educational models such as smart learning environments use of digital and context-aware devices to facilitate the learning process. In this new educational scenario, a huge quantity of multimodal students' data from a variety of different sources can be captured, fused, and analyze. It offers to researchers and educators a unique opportunity of being able to discover new knowledge to better understand the learning process and to intervene if necessary. However, it is necessary to apply correctly data fusion approaches and techniques in order to combine various sources of multimodal learning analytics (MLA). These sources or modalities in MLA include audio, video, electrodermal activity data, eye-tracking, user logs, and click-stream data, but also learning artifacts and more natural human signals such as gestures, gaze, speech, or writing. This survey introduces data fusion in learning analytics (LA) and educational data mining (EDM) and how these data fusion techniques have been applied in smart learning. It shows the current state of the art by reviewing the main publications, the main type of fused educational data, and the data fusion approaches and techniques used in EDM/LA, as well as the main open problems, trends, and challenges in this specific research area

    La Importancia de Empezar con Buen Pie: Influencia De La Etapa Previa Al Ingreso Y Primer Curso En La Universidad En El Abandono De Titulación.

    El abandono de los estudios universitarios es un fenómeno que afecta a la mayoría de universidades. Es por ello que la Universidad de Oviedo, en el marco del PRoyecto Integral de ORientación Académico-Profesional (PRIOR), ha desarrollado una investigación sobre el fenómeno cuyo objetivo era detectar las principales variables influyentes en la manifestación del fenómeno en la Universidad de Oviedo. Se ha aplicado un cuestionario diseñado a tal efecto a 1055 estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en el curso 2010/11, complementando los datos recogidos con aquellos disponibles en el sistema informático de la universidad y obteniendo así información sobre los estudios cursados en la etapa previa al ingreso en la universidad, rendimiento académico y orientación recibida durante esta etapa, grado de preferencia de la titulación matriculada, titulación y rama de conocimiento a la que ésta pertenece, rendimiento académico y satisfacción con el mismo, además de otros de carácter socio-demográfico. Se han sometido los datos a análisis descriptivos y correlacionales, realizados con el programa R versión 2.15

    Promoting metacognitive reflection: a work proposal

    Full text link
    [EN] The metacognition as a self-regulatory strategy presents itself as an essential element in the whole process of learning. Lead students to reflect on their way of learning and their strategies, promotes in them this self-awareness and this ability of self-regulation that are very important to help them become "expert learners". It was with this aim that we structured a course prior to the start of students’ academic activities, entering for the first time in a degree at university. This work seeks to describe the aims, the structure, and the development of this same course entitled "learn how to learn", as well as with some thoughts on how it took place.Goulão, MDF.; Cerezo Menéndez, R.

    The role of self-monitoring in adult learning in online context

    Full text link
    [EN] This paper examines the reflexions made by a set of online students regarding the results obtained in an assessment task and its consequences for the future. The sample included 43 students in continuous assessment, from both sexes. After knowing the results they were asked to indicate the implications of this exercise to their future studies. The content analysis revealed the existence of two categories - Causality (intrinsic / extrinsic) and Influence (Generics/ Specifics/No consequences) - regardless of the approach to real evaluation. The reflection that students can make about their learning process and the difficulties in developing their tasks is of great relevance to achieve success. This was evident in the analysis that our students made on the completion of the assessment work, as well as the consequences for their future study. This process of reflection and awareness in the teaching learning process is particularly relevant in online education where the role of metacognitive monitoring and control system gains a prominent role. Allowing students to reflect on these issues permits them to be more effective learners.Goulão, MDF.; Cerezo Menendez, R. (2015). The role of self-monitoring in adult learning in online context.

    In this article, some of most relevant programs of self-regulation of academic learning in the sphere of higher education were reviewed. Although there are quite a few of them, we reviewed only the interventions whose contents had been implemented in e-learning modalities or had been supported by the new information and human communication technologies. For this task, we arranged the programs along a continuum that ranged from those that deal with the development of self-regulatory competences by indirect training of such competences to the programs whose impact on such competences is much more direct. Lastly, we provide information about a program that our research team is developing and implementing as a pilot study, and whose preliminary results seem highly satisfactory.Nuevos soportes para la promoción del aprendizaje autorregulado en educación superior. En este artículo se han revisado algunos de los programas más relevantes de autorregulación del aprendizaje académico en el ámbito de la educación superior. Aunque existe un gran número de ellos, se ha fijado la revisión en aquellas intervenciones en las que los contenidos se han implantado en modalidades elearning o ayudados por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación humana. Para esta tarea, se ordenaron los programas en un continuo que va desde aquellos que trabajan en el desarrollo de competencias autorregulatorias mediante el entrenamiento indirecto de tales competencias, hasta otros cuyo trabajo sobre dichas competencias es mucho más directo. En último lugar se ha informado de un programa que nuestro equipo de investigación está desarrollando, e implementando de manera piloto, y cuyos resultados preliminares parecen ser altamente satisfactorios
