The Relationship Between Learning Behavior and Learners’ Listening Strategies in the Dictation Practice Courseware

Abstract

This paper explores the possibility of relating psychological factors of learning strategies with log data collected in an online dictation training courseware in Japanese EFL settings. Based on Nix’s (2016) learning strategies question items, we conducted an explanatory factor analysis, producing four factors, each consisting of four question items. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed a few weak correlations between learning behavior and learning strategies. In conclusion, it is suggested that more parameters of personalized data be included in future Personalization/Adaptation studies based on learning analytics.
