The use of learning analytics to inform teaching practices and improve student outcomes is an increasingly popular area of research, as institutions seek to leverage data for continuous improvement.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Learning Theories:
Research based on conventional learning theories, such as behaviorism and cognitivism, appears to be diminishing as the field increasingly embraces constructivist and connectivist approaches driven by technology. - Face-to-Face Instructional Strategies:
With the rise of online and blended learning environments, studies focusing exclusively on traditional face-to-face instructional strategies have become less frequent, reflecting a broader shift towards digital pedagogies. - General Technology Acceptance Models:
While technology acceptance remains relevant, there is a noticeable decline in studies that rely solely on general models, such as TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), in favor of more nuanced frameworks that incorporate emotional and contextual factors. - Overemphasis on Technology as a Panacea:
Research that treats technology as a standalone solution to educational challenges is waning, as the field increasingly recognizes the importance of context, pedagogy, and human interaction in successful technology integration. - Narrow Focus on Specific Technologies:
There is a reduction in studies that focus solely on specific technologies (e.g., specific software tools) without considering broader educational implications or comparative analyses of multiple technologies.
