Our LAVA meeting next week (Wednesday August 5, 3-4:30pm PT, on Zoom) will be led by Dr. Andrew Gibson from Queensland University of Technology.
Presentation description (originally posted here):
Andrew Gibson from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) will outline recent research work that uses Reflective Writing Analytics (RWA) to help gain insights into pre-service teachers capacities with respect to assessment. The research involves capturing regular personal reflections from pre-service teachers over a period of time using web-based software called GoingOK. These reflections are analysed using natural language processing technologies, in a socio-technical pragmatic approach where socio-cultural interpretive research informs the development of the analysis, and iterations of analytics inform the emergence of the interpretation. Andrew will provide examples of the RWA and present a case for using similar approaches in other learning analytics research.
