q2 · i? · associational · r2

Cluster analysis (EM algorithm) of 201,038 learning sessions from 8,788 learners in a flipped-classroom MOOC, using "the proportion of learning actions", "the total time spent online and the total number of actions" as inputs. Four tactics were detected, with the largest cluster accounting for 31.86% of sessions.

"the application of the approach detected four learning tactics (Search oriented, Content and assessment oriented, Content oriented and Assessment oriented) which were used by MOOC learners."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Content and assessment oriented tactic is a distinct, integrated tactic rather than a simple combination of content and assessment tactics — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The four detected learning tactics differ significantly across all nine learning actions (MANOVA) — related
• K-means clustering of K–8 students' platform trace data yields seven distinct engagement profiles — related
• Trace data can capture the temporal progress of regulation as learners engage in learning tasks over time — related
• Model-based clustering of tied durations identifies four weekly regulation patterns in PBL group discussions — related
• Learning tactics shaped by instructional cues are embedded in different units of study in the MOOC — related
• Learners from different performance groups differ in priorities of learning tactic usage across learning sessions — related
