Abstract
This study presents an ethical framework for learning analytics aimed at addressing key challenges related to the collection and use of student data in higher education. Learning analytics, a powerful tool for improving student outcomes and institutional decision-making, has raised ethical concerns regarding data privacy, transparency, fairness, and equity. The proposed framework integrates four core principles: data privacy, informed consent, transparency, and fairness, ensuring that institutions use learning analytics responsibly while safeguarding student rights. A central feature of the framework is its focus on promoting equitable decision-making, minimizing bias, and preventing the reinforcement of existing inequalities in algorithmic and data-driven decisions. The framework also emphasizes the importance of continuous ethical oversight, holding institutions accountable for ethical data use and adapting practices as technology evolves. The study concludes that the framework offers a comprehensive solution to the ethical challenges in learning analytics, providing institutions with a practical guide to embedding ethical principles in data practices. Additionally, the research discusses its potential to foster fairness, equity, and transparency in decision-making processes. Future research is recommended to refine the framework and explore its application across various educational contexts, ensuring responsible and inclusive use of learning analytics.
