Abstract

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is critical for teachers to gain a sophisticated understanding of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), which is needed to optimize the use of technologies in teaching. This research aims to discover teachers’ SRL processes from 70 participants. We apply educational data mining and learning analytics methods to mine teachers’ SRL processes using the computer logs extracted from nBrowser - a computer-based learning environment. The fuzzy mining algorithm of process mining is used to discover the temporal SRL process models. The conformance checking algorithm tests whether there is a significant difference in SRL patterns between teachers with different TPACK performance. The findings can contribute to the advancement of our scientific understanding of the role of SRL in teacher education and inform teacher educators and researchers about how to design scaffolds to support teachers’ regulation in complex technology-integrating tasks.
