Five Aspirations for Educational Data Mining

In this talk we present our disciplinary, methodological, and social aspirations for Educational Data Mining. These aspirations are based on broad conceptualizations of the nature of education and data analysis as social endeavors. These aspirations fall into five categories which begin with the statement that “We hope that Educational Data Mining will...” 1) Consider the broad range of the soc...
