Research on the social cognitive dynamics augmented by the learning analytics in knowledge building environment
Blended learning has become a new normal,but how to promote students'online deep learning has become the main problem in the process of learning and teaching.Technology is the key for cognitive development through mediating individual student with learning environment.In this study,the learning analytic tools,specifically KBDeX,Promisingness Ideas,and UCINET,were implemented in knowledge building activities of the course"STEM Learning Theory and Practice".By visualizing the content and behavior of the online discourse,students have the opportunity to summarize and reflect the ongoing activities for socio-cognitive dynamics,which facilitates their cognitive development and learning outcomes.Research shows that knowledge building activities augmented with learning analytics benefit students with high level understanding of the theme,finding promising ideas and connections among them,locating their position,and figuring out the valuable direction in the process of inquiry.Ultimately,socio-cognitive dynamics with learning analytics help students continuously engage in ideas improvement and knowledge innovation.
