Well-known for its intuitive representation of conceptual structures as order diagrams, FCA handles conceptual hierarchies which can be derived from various data sets. This makes FCA suitable for knowledge management tasks in many fields. We consider the problem of using FCA as a quality of education evaluation tool for the instructor. Students are using educational resources in an e-learning platform and the raw data set consists only of the subsequent recorded weblogs. After a preprocessing stage, various conceptual structures &#8211; among them behavioral patterns of e-learning resources usage &#8211; are distilled from the dataset using conceptual scaling and triadic FCA and are altogether offered as a decision support for the instructor. We prove the efficiency of using FCA in comparing students behavior through the educational process and highlight how new educational strategies correlate with their academic performance and the use of online learning ressources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Formal Concept Analysis, Knowledge Discovery, e-learning platform, triadic FCA, educational process<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acknowledgments:<\/strong> Diana Halita was supported by a doctoral research from POSDRU\/187\/1.5\/S\/155383.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentation:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/~diana.sotropa\/files\/research\/prezentareSOFTCOM2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> SOFTCOM 2016 &#8211; Session 1: Education and Information Systems<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/~diana.sotropa\/files\/research\/prezentareSOFTCOM2016.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning.png\" alt=\"presentation-softcom-2016-elearning\" width=\"1911\" height=\"1437\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning.png 1911w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-1024x770.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-450x338.png 450w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-600x451.png 600w, https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-content\/uploads\/presentation-softcom-2016-elearning-900x676.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paper: Sanda Drago\u015f, Diana Hali\u0163\u0103, Christian S\u0103c\u0103rea, Analysing the Effect of Changing the Educational Methods by Using FCA, The 24th International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM 2016), pp. 243-247, Split, Croatia Abstract: Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) developed in the last 30 years to a prominent field of Knowledge Discovery, Processing and Representation. &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/analysing-the-effect-of-changing-the-educational-methods-by-using-fca\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Analysing the Effect of Changing the Educational Methods by Using FCA&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-papers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1103,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions\/1103"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cs.ubbcluj.ro\/research\/fca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
