Data Mining in Online Professional Development Program Evaluation: An Exploratory Case Study
Rice, Kerry; Hung, Jui-Long
International Journal of Technology in Teaching and Learning, v11 n1 p1-20 2015
This case study explored the potential applications of data mining in the educational program evaluation of online professional development workshops for pre K-12 teachers. Multiple data mining analyses were implemented in combination with traditional evaluation instruments and student outcomes to determine learner engagement and more clearly understand the relationship between logged activities and learner experiences. Data analysis focused on the following aspects: 1) Shared learning characteristics, 2) frequent learning paths, 3) engagement prediction, 4) expectation prediction, 5) workshop satisfaction prediction, and 6) instructor quality prediction. Results indicated that interaction and engagement were important factors in learning outcomes for this workshop. In addition, participants who had online teaching experience could be expected to have a higher engagement level but prior online learning experience did NOT show a similar relationship.
