68.049 - Data, Big and Small

Mon, May 1, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 214 C

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores the ways that educational researchers combine research on large datasets, or ‘big data,’ with more fine-grained, or ‘small’, analyses. Our papers explore the ways that using multiple approaches to large datasets result in nuanced findings. In keeping with the conference theme “Knowledge to Action: Achieving the Promise of of Equal Educational Opportunity,” our symposium’s guiding question is: how does educational research that uses both big and small data help educators enact equity in their research practice, pedagogy, and classrooms? Each papers uses a specific research project as a lens to discuss methodological challenges around using big and small data toward achieving more equitable outcomes in a variety of educational spaces.
