The Impact of Learning Analytics on the Dutch Education System

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The article reports the findings of a Group Concept Mapping study that was conducted within the framework of the Learning Analytics Summer Institute (LASI) in the Netherlands. Learning Analytics are expected to be beneficial for students and teacher empowerment, personalization, research on learning design, and feedback for performance. The study depicted some management and economics issues and identified some possible treats. No differences were found between novices and experts on how important and feasible are changes in education triggered by Learning Analytics.

• Structured approach to objectively identify the common understanding of a group of experts about a particular issue

• Involves participants in 3 simple activities (1. brainstorming, 2. sorting and 3. rating of ideas)

• Applies a robust analysis (Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA)).

• GCM presents the results from the analysis as conceptual maps and other graphical representations (pattern matches and go-zones)

• innovations in way network is delivered• (investigate) corporate/structural alignment• assist in the development of non-traditional partnerships (Rehab with the

Medicine Community)• expand investigation and knowledge of PSN'S/PSO's• continue STHCS sponsored forums on public health issues (medicine

managed care forum)• inventory assets of all participating agencies (providers, Venn Diagrams)• access additional funds for telemedicine expansion • better utilization of current technological bridge• continued support by STHCS to member facilities• expand and encourage utilization of interface programs to strengthen the

Hypothesis

H1: The most important items (clusters) will be less feasible to implement in the Dutch education system.

H2: There will be a significant difference between Novice participants compared to more Expert participants on their rating for Importance and Feasibility.

Conclusions

27 March 2014@HDrachsler

We rejected H1 and H2, the GCM study shows a very high agreement between the Novice and Expert participants on how Important and Feasible are changes that LA brings to the Dutch education.

The Dutch community highly agrees on topics that are of importance to influence the educational system with LA.

Conclusions

NL is ready to roll out LA in K12 & Higher Education

Conclusions

27 March 2014@HDrachsler

Future Research

H3: There will be a significant difference between the stakeholder groups (Higher Education vs. K12), (Business vs. Educational Sector) Find partners that are interested to run a GCM on LA in their countries - Contact us!
