Abstract

In this commentary we present an analogy between Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe's classic poem, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and institutional learning analytics. In doing so, we hope to provoke institutions with a simple heuristic when considering their learning analytics initiatives. They might ask themselves, "Are we behaving like the sorcerer's apprentice?" This would be characterized by initiatives lacking faculty involvement, and we argue that when initiatives fit this pattern, they also lack consideration of their potential hazards, and are likely to fail. We join others in advocating for institutions to, instead, create ecosystems that enable faculty leadership in institutional learning analytics efforts.

野生扫帚和学习分析
在这篇评论中,我们将约翰-沃尔夫冈-冯-歌德的经典诗作《魔法师的学徒》与机构学习分析进行了类比。我们希望通过这种方式,让各机构在考虑其学习分析计划时有一个简单的启发。他们可能会问自己:"我们的行为像巫师的学徒吗?"这种做法的特点是缺乏教师的参与,我们认为,当举措符合这种模式时,它们也缺乏对其潜在危害的考虑,很可能会失败。我们和其他人一样,主张各院校创建生态系统,让教师在院校的学习分析工作中发挥领导作用。
