Abstract

Aim of study: Nowadays, individuals no longer invariably focus on conventional wisdom, seemingly reliable gut feelings and established practice. Instead, they are seeking for objective analysis and research based on a large amount of data. Education always produces a tremendous amount of data. Educators could easily capitalize the information of students on and offline to revolutionize the way students learn and teachers teach. This paper is going to conduct a research on the role of big data in Chinese research-oriented universities.
Method of used: interview, questionnaire, materials and so on
Result: Efforts will be made to conduct a detailed analysis to find out how big data change the role of teachers and students and furthermore, to find out the application of big data in the revolution of teaching and learning.
Application: These real-time feedback could be collected to help teachers have an insight in eduction and tailor their teaching methods to meet the requirements and learning habits of students. Moreover, when Big Data indicates that educators have overestimated the understanding of students or there will be a negative prediction of a new reformative program, teachers could tactfully make some alternations to minimize trial-and-error.
