Visualization of Instructional Patterns from Daily Teaching Log Data

Abstract

Reflections are said to improve teachers' professional skills. Questionnaires and video-recording methods require advanced preparation, which is often burdensome for teachers and students. In recent years, researchers have turned to analyzing the log data of ICT systems. This method is less demanding and helps clarify the educational process. Also, with multiple classroom systems, we propose a visualization method to track teachers' instructional patterns. Our goal is to clarify differences in teaching using actual teacher-log data. It was found that the method of using the system differed depending on each teacher. This method allows us to improve education quality by facilitating teachers' reflections and fostering discussions with colleagues.
