THESIS OBJETIVES
RESEARCH PLAN
UNIVERSIDADE DE VIGO
The main objective is to improve the teaching process through
the data generated by the interaction of the students with the
educational platforms in the different classes that they attend, In
this way, it will be possible to suggest training activities and their
sequencing and to improve the planning of the evaluation tests and
their intercalation with the training activities.
In order to achieve the main objective, an in depth study of the
management of large amounts of information (Big Data), learning
techniques, algorithms implemented for similar problems and the
appropriate tools for statistical analysis.
Study of the use of the students’ platform in different courses and
the results obtained by them when using the educational
technology.
Collect and process the data to obtain only the needed information
for the research by filtering it through powerful tools.
Make a comparison of the data obtained from several e-learning
platforms of universities in Central America and Europe, Analyzing
the impact of the different results.
Identify the best techniques of the use of the platform
to achieve greater success in higher education and
the use of educational technology.
Design techniques, applications model or algorithms based in
the platforms by through experimentation to detect atypical
values and analyze the student interaction to improve
e-learning education.
There will be an in-depth study of literature or specialized
literature on research-related issues (educational data
mining, e-learning, learning processes, etc.) to assess
how similar problems can be addressed using various
techniques and tools.
Design scientific information through articles and conferences, it will be conduct a
research stay in a important center related whit the investigation, then will prepare
the necessary documents for the thesis presentation.
The platforms of Catholic university of Honduras will be analyzed to obtain the
necessary Information of the research, Once the data is grouped, it will be analyzed
through the classical statistics techniques and be able to obtain the expected results.
The e-learning and b-learning platforms are of vital
importance in higher education worldwide as they
contribute to providing solutions that help the
development of students.
Considering that in the classroom, teachers handle
many students, the analysis of information will help
them understand the usefulness of using platforms as a
technological learning resource, how students interact
with them and their study habits.
Once the students' interaction and study habits are
known, the research will allow teachers to reformulate
their teaching planning to improve their academic
activities in the different classes.
The study of the planning of a high volume of courses
will give the opportunity to compare this planning with
the academic results of the students, this will generate
the power to recommend to teachers new ways of
planning the subjects and their evaluations.
