自 2011 年第一届学习分析与知识国际会议 (LAK) 以来，学习分析领域取得了巨大发展。它是一个结合了计算机科学、统计学、心理学和教育学等不同学科以实现其预期目标的领域。主要目标说明了对学习及其环境进行便捷的干预以及对学习领域利益相关者的最终优化。由于该领域已经成熟并且现已适应不同的教育环境，我们认为迫切需要列出自己的研究方法并明确其目标和困境。本文调查了 2013 年至 2015 年学习分析和知识会议的出版物，并列出了该领域的重要研究领域。我们考虑方法概况并将它们分为七个不同的类别，并对每个类别进行简要描述。此外，我们使用谷歌学术显示了被引用最多的方法类别。最后，作者通过荟萃分析研究提出了影响其伦理方法的挑战和限制。人们相信，本文将帮助研究人员确定学习分析中使用的常用方法，并且考虑到这个新兴领域的隐私和道德问题，它将有助于对新研究工作进行未来预测。
The area of Learning Analytics has developed enormously since the first International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) in 2011. It is a field that combines different disciplines such as computer science, statistics, psychology and pedagogy to achieve its intended objectives. The main goals illustrate in creating convenient interventions on learning as well as its environment and the final optimization about learning domain stakeholders. Because the field matures and is now adapted in diverse educational settings, we believe there is a pressing need to list its own research methods and specify its objectives and dilemmas. This paper surveys publications from Learning Analytics and Knowledge conference from 2013 to 2015 and lists the significant research areas in this sphere. We consider the method profile and classify them into seven different categories with a brief description on each. Furthermore, we show the most cited method categories using Google scholar. Finally, the authors raise the challenges and constraints that affect its ethical approach through the meta-analysis study. It is believed that this paper will help researchers to identify the common methods used in Learning Analytics, and it will assist by establishing a future forecast towards new research work taking into account the privacy and ethical issues of this strongly emerged field.
