47.070 - Collaborative Data Use: Why, How, and When Does It (Not) Work?

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

There is promising evidence that the use of multiple sources of data by educators can contribute to increased student learning. However, often data use doesn’t become a meaningful part of school improvement. It is important to investigate the enablers and constraints of collaborative data use in schools. This session focusses on these enablers and constraints in the USA, Belgium, New Zealand, Norway, and the Netherlands. Several influencing factors found in these studies, such as (a lack of) ownership over student learning and a focus on achievement versus skills, will be described in depth in this session. The papers together will provide insights into why, how, and when collaborative data use efforts work and do not work.
