Analysis of Student Behavior Based on the History of Learning Activities in the Learning Management System Using the Pearson Correlation Method

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify student learning behavior in online learning and to determine the relationship between student learning behavior and learning achievement based on learning history data (Learning logs) on the Learning Management System (LMS), including the performance of assignments and quizzes, utilization interaction features (forums and chat), as well as active access to learning resources (files and URLs). Pearson Correlation method is used to analyze the level of relationship between learning behavior and students’ achievement. The research object is 105 students at Muhammadiyah University of Enrekang who programmed introductory information technology (PTI) courses from 5 different classes but taught by the same lecturer. The total number of processed activity histories (after data preprocessing) is 6500 records, while the total number of logs before data preprocessing is 19386 records. Correlation analysis linking student behavior to student learning achievement is quite strong and unidirectional, as evidenced by the correlation value between learning behavior and student final grades which show an average number of 0.80 and all are positive, with confidence interval values reaching95%. This shows that the higher the learning activities that students participate in in online learning (the more active), the stronger the effect on student learning achievement. It also shows that student activity in completing assignments is the variable that most influences learning achievement with a correlation value of 0.88 (very strong).
