Abstract

This study looks at learning habits of temporal regularity in learning activities. Building such habits involves learners' regulation of their behaviors and requires learning strategies for time management, which is a cornerstone of self-regulated learning (SRL). Given the importance of habit-building in education, Learning Analytics (LA) techniques have been applied to various long-term supports by monitoring learners' habitual behaviors from the trace data. However, building a learning habit does not always mean the productive use of time. Scant supports attend to recommending learners by building which habit can improve their learning productivity. Hence, this study proposes recommendations for productive learning habit-building from learning logs. We focus on the context of English reading in a Japanese junior high school and design an algorithm to compute a recommended learning time slot. Furthermore, we collect learners' perceptions of their productivity and learning status at different times of the day. The comparison between self-report and log data presents that learners are not aware of their learning as the detection from their learning logs. This implies the potential of the proposed recommendations for facilitating learners to build productive learning habits. Specifically, our study can suggest an optimal time in learning plans and provide learners with a sustainable cue to automate learning behaviors from long-term perspectives. By building productive learning habits, learners can become more engaged in their studies as well as lead more balanced lives.
