Análise da percepção de estudantes on-line sobre painéis de bordo para orientar seus objetivos de aprendizagem

Abstract

With the advancement of online education, driven by the need to democratize access to education and COVID-19 containment measures, the virtual environment has become a significant part of students' lives. However, school dropout persists, with lack of support, pedagogical doubts, and teacher workload overload standing out as main challenges. To tackle this problem, the creation of a data visualization and personalized recommendations system is proposed to support students' self-regulated learning. The system will integrate the student into a process that uses data to present their status in relation to goals set by the teacher, including interactions and performance in learning resources. Based on this status, personalized recommendations will be offered, guiding the student to achieve the proposed goals and maintain engagement. This approach is expected to reduce dropout rates, generating individual and institutional economic benefits. As for expected outcomes, the research aims to improve the quality of online learning and decrease the feeling of abandonment by guiding students in the self-regulation process. The study collected insights from 22 students through a Google questionnaire, addressing sociodemographic characteristics, experiences with digital educational technologies, and opinions about the proposed dashboards. The dashboards inform the student about their current level in the course, the expected level based on chosen goals, and the actions needed to achieve these goals. The analysis revealed that the integration of dashboards and data analysis positively influences students' self-regulation, providing an integrated and adaptable educational environment. The results indicate that dashboards, by offering personalized support, promote metacognitive awareness and student self-reflection, empowering them to play an active role in their learning. Thus, the proposal contributes to a more dynamic educational environment, facilitating students' adaptation to the demands of online education and mitigating school dropout.
