Supporting Teacher Learning in Data Jam: A Design-Based Research of Teacher Professional Development Model

• In Event: Culturally Responsive Education for Contested Times

Abstract

This paper discusses the development and research of a new professional development model to support teachers in Puerto Rico in engaging middle and high school students in independent data analysis research projects, using ecological data, known as Data Jam. The new PD model was designed using the apprenticeship model (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989) as the driving force for inquiry activities around data practices. This article examines how qualitative data analysis (Saldaña, 2021) informed the re-design of the new PD model as part of a design-based research methodology. This paper is part of a more extensive mixed-methods study that includes student data.
