Abstract

Gathering data is essential to the research of education. Tradition approaches to gather data include statistics, survey and questionnaire, which spends much time but difficult to represent the real world with comprehensiveness, promptness and accuracy, having a negative impact on the reliability and validity. However, by using the Artificial Intelligence (AI), the big data system for gathering and cleaning data improves the accuracy, integrity, consistency, validity, uniqueness and stability of research, resulting in a higher reliability and easier analysis for the data. Through the big data system, the researchers can get the data with convenience, which promote a new methodology and help achieve the goal of education research.

The article pointed out that because the national reading rate and the lifelong learning service platform construction cannot collect the corresponding data, the indicators that also indicate the learning society can not be included in the test, so that the research results only have a “rough grasp” on the research objects
