Literature Review, Educational Data Mining, Time Management, Learning Analytics, Learning Management SystemsAbstract
The use of learning management systems is becoming frequent as a form of learning. This is because it allows greater flexibility of time and space if we compare to face-to-face learning. Thus, this work aims to present how the field of Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics are contributing to the extraction of knowledge from the self-regulation of time management in e-learning environments. For this, we considered the concept of time management by Pintrich (2000) and carried out a systematic review of the literature. With that, it was possible to notice that most of the analyzed works do not study only time management. We also realized that the data, which represents time management, are aggregated data, that is, the phenomenon is not studied over time. With these results, you can see an overview of how Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining are supporting the extraction of knowledge about self-regulation of time management in online environments.
