Exploring TVET Higher Education Towards Learning Analytics In Malaysia

Abstract

Higher education institutions that offer Technical and Vocational Educational Training (TVET) are fully capable of providing tertiary education and training as well as a route to successful careers. To prepare students to work effectively in a skilled trade, TVET higher education places a strong emphasize on technical, vocational and occupational education and training. With the emergence of rapid revolution industries and new educational learning styles, Learning Analytics (LA) have evolved to solve the TVET higher education teaching and learning process.  A few researchers have combined earlier data to give an overview of LA concerns in higher education including in TVET. A thorough literature analysis was done to offer an overview of the advantages and difficulties of employing LA in TVET higher education. Students, instructors, and institutions are three groups that receive the advantages of LA. The difficulties include privacy and ethical considerations, limitations of LA technology, data collection, data analysis, and educator constraints. Although LA is a novelty, TVET higher education stakeholders still need to learn more about the problems associated with its usage in TVET higher education.  A comprehensive overview offers an integrative report on the advantages and difficulties of LA so that all parties involved in TVET higher education can use LA more successfully to enhance teaching and learning.
