Abstract

Õpianalüütika on valdkond, mis areneb kiiresti ülikoolides ning on jõudmas ka üldhariduskoolidesse. Õpianalüütika võimaldab haridusuuringute raames kasutada veebipõhiste keskkondade kogutavaid avatud andmeid tõenduspõhiste otsuste tegemiseks (nt õppekavade või hariduspoliitiliste algatuste planeerimisel). Artikli eesmärk on välja pakkuda Eesti konteksti arvestav õpianalüütika kontseptuaalne raamistik, tuginedes kolme veebipõhise tarkvaralahenduse õpianalüütika mooduli arendusuuringutele. Uuringu empiiriline andmestik kogutakse uurimuspõhise disaini meetodil kasutajaid kaasavate disainisessioonide käigus. Kolme juhtumi analüüsi tulemusel pakutakse artiklis välja ühine õpianalüütika kontseptuaalne raamistik, mille olulised osad on pedagoogiline disain, avatud tehniline arhitektuur, visualiseeringud kasutaja õpianalüütika töölaual õppimiskogemuse tagasisidestamiseks ning õpianalüütikaga seotud eetika- ja privaatsusaspektid.
