Abstract

Due to the growing interest in e-learning as an important process of teaching and learning, new mechanisms to evaluate its pedagogical effectiveness are necessaries. This review describes the scenario of 20 years corresponding to data mining research where the context is the elearning and the main subject is the evaluation aspect, which is considered a latent problem within this environment. Our goal is to provide an unexplored review of EDM research of the teaching and learning process considering the educational perspective. In order to obtain a more wide and complete review, the search of the bibliographic material was realized with the terms “data mining” and “education” which resulted in 525 articles. As exclusion criterion, articles that did not emphasize the improvement of the teaching and learning process were discarded, resulting in 72 articles. As result of our review, the analyzed papers show that the researches in EDM expanded into several areas and themes, for example, oriented studies on interactions between the educational actors, monitoring, and evaluation of teaching-learning process, administrators’ evaluation about the adopted pedagogical actions, learning risks, and recommendation and recovery of educational media. The review allowed to present perspectives, identify trends and observe potential research directions, such as behavioral research, collaboration, interaction and performance in the development of teaching-learning activities.

6 Conclusion

This literature review was developed with the goal to describe the two decades scenario of the EDM in relation to the main contributions that aim at the improvement of teaching and learning. Initially, in order to make our review more comprehensive and complete the search terms of the bibliographic material were restricted only in “Data Mining” and “Education”, which resulted in the collection of 525 articles. In this way, it was possible to avoid articles relevant to the purpose of this review being discarded. However, since our objective is to review the articles that seek to contribute to the improvement of teaching and learning through evaluation processes in the e-learning environment from a careful re-reading, this review was limited to 72 articles.

During the process of collecting bibliographical material, it was possible to identify other literature review works in EDM which focused on providing a technical perspective of the application of data mining algorithms in the educational scenario. Through this perspective, the articles have mainly emphasized the application of data mining techniques in both environments, both in traditional classrooms and in the e-learning environment, aiming to identify the performance of student learning and the effectiveness of teaching in relation to the educational actions of the teacher. Also as an indirect contribution of this work, we show a synoptic picture describing the contribution of these previous revisions.
