摘要:
分析教育数据集是众多聚焦于提升学生学习效果的研究领域的基础。然而,大型教育数据集结构复杂,可能需要大量的预处理工作。通过开发简化分析预处理阶段的教育工具,可以克服这些障碍。开放大学学习分析数据集(Open University Learning Analytics Dataset,简称OULAD)可在线获取,包含开放大学22个模块课程中32593名学生的数据。本文介绍了R软件包ouladFormat,该包可加载OULAD并将其格式化以供数据分析使用。文章概述了ouladFormat R包的功能,并解释了包内的不同函数。此外,本文还提供了两个案例研究,探讨了OULAD和ouladFormat R包在教育研究准备阶段以及高危学生早期识别中的应用方式。该包提升了研究人员、从业者和教育工作者对OULAD的可及性,并支持教育研究的可复现性和可比性。
英文摘要:
Analysing educational data sets is fundamental to many fields of research focusing on improving student learning. However, large educational data sets are complex and can involve intensive preprocessing. These obstacles can be overcome through the development of educational tools which simplifies the preprocessing stages of analysis. The Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD), available online, contains data from 32,593 students across 22 module presentations at the Open University. This paper introduces the R software package ouladFormat; which loads and formats the OULAD for data analysis. The paper summarizes the ouladFormat R package and explains the different functions within the package. In addition, two case studies are provided which discuss how the OULAD and ouladFormat R package could be used when preparing for an educational study, and in the early identification of at-risk students. The package increases the accessibility of the OULAD for researchers, practitioners, and educators, and supports reproducibility and comparability of educational studies.
