Academic Social Networks and Learning Analytics to Explore Self-Regulated Learning: a Case Study

摘要

Social networks have become a new form of communication that allow students to share and collaborate. In this sense, they have joined forces with self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. This paper presents an experience at the University of Santiago de Compostela to analyze how SRL is developed in a course using a social network. This research used the following: 1) MSLQ questionnaire by Pintrich and 2) social network analysis techniques within the learning analytics framework. The results show that pedagogy encouraged students to interact and create a rich environment for developing SRL skills.
