The Adaptive Teaching in the Setting of Big Data

Education is one of important application fields of big data, and with the technology developing of big data, education data in scale is becoming larger and larger, and the breadth and depth of data are expanding. Through techniques of learning analytics and educational data mining, educators can get information of students' learning performances, such as learning attitudes, interests and effects, predict students' learning behaviors in future, find the possible problems hidden in the process of learning, and then try to provide the most suitable teaching contents and activities for the adaptive teaching. This paper discussed the influences of big data on education and teaching, expounded the applications of learning analytics and educational data mining in the adaptive teaching, and lastly presented a functional structure of a typical adaptive teaching system.
