Meta-research conference: data-driven planning of a research methods situated-learning activity

Abstract

This paper presents the Meta-Research Conference, a learning task for situated learning implemented in two consecutive years in a master course on Research Methods. Through this task students tackle responsible research aspects, apply skills learned during the course, and engage in tasks of professional researchers. The paper also shows how learning analytics based on LMS activity logs, student feedback questionnaires and grades are used to improve the course design.
