A Smart Educational Game to Model Personality Using Learning Analytics

摘要

Various research work have highlighted the importance of modeling learner's personality to provide a personalized computer based learning. In particular, questionnaire is the most used method to model personality which can be long and not motivating. This makes learners unwilling to take it. Therefore, this paper refers to Learning Analytics (LA) to implicitly model learners' personalities based on their traces generated during the learning-playing process. In this context, an LA system and an educational game were developed. Forty five participants (34 learners and 11 teachers) participated in an experiment to evaluate the accuracy level of the learners' modeling results and the teachers' satisfaction degree towards this LA system. The obtained results highlighted that the LA system has a high level of accuracy and a "good" agreement degree compared to the questionnaire paper. Besides, the teachers found the LA system easy to use, useful and they were willing to use it in the future.
