DATA SCIENCE IN EDUCATION

Data Science
Data Science is an inter-disciplinary field which applies scientific
methods to process data to provide meaningful insights from data to
generate the required information
Educational data science would empower educators to
perform data visualization, data reduction and description, and
prediction tasks.
Data reduction can be used to make sense of many complex
records and fields of data.
Eg. students ( grade books and assignments, etc).

Curated
Content

Flipped Class
• Maintain a repository of class lecture videos by
subject experts

• Extract relevant videos from video repository

• Visualize the rate of contribution by every teacher


in preparing videos for a topic

• Evaluate and analyse the home work completion


status

• Extract topics for flipped classes

• Comparison and evaluation of performance of


students in flipped classes

• Evaluate and visualize the level of understanding


the concepts by students
Learning Curves for Visualization
• According to Skinner, a learning curve is a progress representation
of person’s improvement or lack of improvement in a given activity.

• A learning curve is a graphical representation of how learning takes


place in a particular situation – S.K.Mangal.

• Learning curve refers to the graphical relationship between the


amount of learning and the time it takes to learn.

Data Sets for Learning Curve

Pearson’s Learning Curve Data Bank combines 60 global data-sets into one
place in order to ‘enable researchers and policymakers to correlate
education outcomes with wider social and economic outcomes.
Curated Multimedia content
 Categorize the learners based on linguistics and provide audio
content for important concepts in their native language.
 Analyse and find videos of highly informative content and they can
be recommended for the interested groups in the digital learning
platform.
The learners and educators role, involvement, contribution can be
extracted, analysed and compared in a MOOC platform, online
learning environment.
Eg. NPTEL courses in native languages
Data visualization helps to create Intuitive,
interactive dashboards to empower users to visually
interact with data.

Eg: research findings and outcomes.

Based on the analysis of students and faculty data, it


helps to create or extract new techniques.

Helps to categorize the collected data based on facts,


rules or concepts or ideas provided in the data set.

Provide path way for data-informed decisions and to


analyze the decision and findings.
SAMPLES
Adaptive testing & adaptive learning
• Data Analysis helps to build adaptive learning environment based
on the skills, learning interest and dedication in learning of the
learners.

Example for Analysis:
• A)What percentage of my students earned more than half credit on that
evolution short response question?

• B) How many of my students answered the question on finding inverses


graphically but struggled with the question on finding inverses
algebraically?

Merits of applying Data Science in
Education
• To Employ Adapting Learning Techniques
- Big Data and Data Science will help to discover the abilities of
students and implement optimal teaching techniques
• To Enhance Parent Involvement
- Analysis and Reporting the performance of students based on various
factors will motivate more involvement of parents in nurturing the
development of the students.
 To improve performance of Teachers
- Strength and Weakness of teachers can be analysed.
- Helps to train and develop teachers based on their interests and skills.
Merits of applying Data Science in
Education
• To Bridge the gap between industries and academia
- With Data Analytics, the recent trends and need in industries can be
analysed.
-The curriculum can be periodically updated based on the insights
given by analysing industrial needs.
- Internships, training and development activities can be curated based
on insights from industry analysis.
- Predictive analytics can help to find the demand for new skill sets and
to train the students, curate the syllabus of the courses to meet the demand.
Merits of applying Data Science in
Education
• To identify the drop out rates from courses
- Predictive models help in evaluating the risks of student dropouts
using data analysis and in turn help in taking precautionary measures against
it.

• To analyse behaviour in virtual interview


- It can be used to automatically evaluate the body language of the
candidate. The same technique can also be used in classrooms to examine the
attention of students in the classroom.
Tools used in Education – Samples
IBM Cognus is a powerful, web-based business intelligence tool that provides
various toolsets for reporting, analysing and monitoring events through
interactive visualizations.
Using IBM Cognos Analytics, foreign universities have done analysis and used
to predict student performances.
It uses various variables like student background, demographics, high school
grades, the economic background to assess the dropout probability for the
students.
Microsoft Power BI is another tool which use business intelligence to create
reports and charts for better visualization.
Course Outcome & CO –PO Mapping
• In Outcome Based Education systems, Data Science and Data Analytics
helps more to predict the factors that affect the CO attainment.
• Applying Data science and Visualization techniques helps to monitor and
forecast the parameters that affect the course objectives, course outcome
and programme outcomes.
• Based on this, risk assessment and precautionary measures can be taken in
advance.
• Also the areas that are to be strengthened can be known in advance.
