CAMPOS POSADA, Raul et al. Learning analytics, a challenge to the performance of teaching staff. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.6, pp. 40-48.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

Learning analytics and its emergence in the contemporary educational context are addressed. The objective is to assess the significance and emergence of learning analytics in the field of educational sciences and its possible contribution to the quality of the performance of teaching staff. A conceptual understanding of learning analytics is established and a reflection is made on the breadth of benefits linked to educational sciences, the applications and resources that aid education, learning, as well as new opportunities for performance improvement of the teaching staff. The most significant challenges to take into account in the management of learning analytics for scientific-research and educational purposes are also identified. Methods of the theoretical level of knowledge are used that allow to locate, classify, process, systematize and elaborate the new knowledge. As a conclusion, the urgency of updating the teaching staff directed at three aspects is reinforced: first, the contents of the discipline it teaches; second, the content of educational sciences; and third, the development of the digital skills necessary in their professional work in a systematic way.

Keywords : Data analytics; learning analytics; Teacher performance; Educational sciences.
