Abstract

The analysis of the students' learning results, based on the assessment instruments, is essential to feedback the teaching-learning process. However, data from summative assessments alone are not sufficient to understand student failures. The application of Educational Process Mining methods given in course event logs can reveal the learning trajectory and support a more robust analysis. This article aims to analyze the possible impacts of learning paths on students' performance failing a subject, conducted in a blended learning manner, that is, with classes and exercises at a distance and with face-to-face assessments.
