Data-driven Decision Making
in Schools
10. April 2017 10/55
School Autonomy
• School Autonomy is at the core of Education System Reform Policies
globally for achieving better educational outcomes for students and
more efficient school operations
• Schools are allowed more freedom in terms of decision making
– For example curriculum design and delivery, human resources management and
infrastructure maintenance and procurement
• However, increased school autonomy introduces the need for robust
evidence of:
– Meeting the requirements of external Accountability and Compliance to
(National) Regulatory Standards
– Engaging in continuous School Self-Evaluation and Improvement
11. April 2017 11/55
What is Data-driven Decision Making
Data-driven Decision Making (DDDM) in schools is defined as[1]:
“the systematic collection, analysis, examination, and interpretation of
data to inform practice and policy in educational settings”
The aim of data-driven decision making is to report, evaluate and
improve the processes and outcomes of schools
12. April 2017 12/55
What is Educational Data? (1/2)
• Educational data can be broadly defined as[2]:
“Information that is collected and organised to represent some
aspect of schools. This can include any relevant information
about students, parents, schools, and teachers derived from
qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis.”
13. April 2017 13/55
What is Educational Data? (2/2)
• Educational Data are generated by various sources, both internal and
external to the school, for example[2]:
• Student data
– such as demographics and prior academic performance
• Teacher data
– such as competences and professional experience
• Data generated during the teaching, learning, and assessment processes
– both within and beyond the physical classroom premises, such as lesson plans,
methods of assessments, classroom management.
• Human Resources, Infrastructure, and Financial Plan
– such as educational and non-educational personnel, hardware/software, expenditure.
• Students’ Wellbeing, Social and Emotional Development
– such as support, respect to diversity and special needs

Data Literacy for Teachers (1/4)
Data Literacy for teachers is a core competence defined as[3]:
“the ability to understand and use data effectively to inform
decisions”
• It comprises a competence set (knowledge, skills, and attitudes)
required to locate, collect, analyze/understand, interpret, and act upon
Educational Data from different sources so as to support improvement
of the teaching, learning and assessment process[4]

18. April 2017 18/55
Data Literacy for Teachers (3/4)
• Data Literacy for teachers is increasingly considered to be a core
competence in:
– Teachers’ pre-service education and licensure standards. For example, the
CAEP Accreditation Standards, issued by the Council of Accreditation of Educator
Preparation in USA.
– Teachers’ continuing professional development standards. For example, the
InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards, issued by the Council of Chief State School
Officers in USA.
• Overall, data literacy for teachers involves the holistic ability, beyond
simple student assessment interpretation ("assessment literacy"), to
meet both continuous school self-evaluation and improvement needs,
as well as external accountability and compliance to regulatory
standards.
19. April 2017 19/55
Data Literacy for Teachers (4/4)
• Despite its importance, Data Literacy for Teachers is still not widely
cultivated and additionally, a number of barriers can limit the
capacity of teachers to use data to inform their practice[5]:
Access to educational data
• Lack of easy access to diverse data from different sources internal and external to
the school system
Timely collection and analysis of educational data
• Delayed or late access to data and/or their analysis
Quality of educational data
• Verification of the validity of collected data - do they accurately measure what
they are supposed to?
• Verification of the reliability of collected data - use methods that do not alter or
contaminate the data
Lack of time and support
• A very time- and resource-consuming process (infrastructure and human
resources)
20. April 2017 20/55
Data Analytics technologies (1/2)
Data analytics refers to methods and tools for analysing large sets of
different types of data from diverse sources, which aim to support and
improve decision-making.
Data analytics are mature technologies currently applied in real-life
financial, business and health systems.
However, they have only recently been considered in the context of Higher
Education[6], and even more recently in School Education[7].
21. April 2017 21/55
Data Analytics technologies (2/2)
• Educational data analytics technologies to support teaching and
learning can be classified into three main types:
• Refers to methods and tools that enable those involved in educational design to
analyse their designs in order to reflect on and improve them prior to the delivery
• The aim is to better reflect on them (as a whole or specific elements ) and improve
learning conditions for their learners
• It can be combined with insights from their implementation using Learning
Analytics
Teaching
Analytics
• Refers to methods and tools for “the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting
of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and
optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs”[8]
• The aim is to improve the learning conditions for learners
• It can be related to Teaching Analytics, which analyses the learning context
Learning
Analytics
• Combines Teaching Analytics and Learning Analytics to support the process of
teacher inquiry, facilitating teachers to reflect on their teaching design using
evidence from the delivery to the students
Teaching and

23. April 2017 23/55
Lesson Plans
Lesson Plans are[9]:
“concise working documents which outline the teaching and learning
that will be conducted within a lesson”
Lesson plans are commonly used by teachers to:
‒ Document their teaching designs, to help them orchestrate its delivery
‒ Create a portfolio of their teaching practice to share with peers or mentors and
exchange practices
Lesson plans are usually structured based on templates which define
a set of elements[10], e.g.:
– the educational objectives/standards to be attained by students;
– the flow and timeframe of the learning and assessment activities to be
delivered during the lesson; and
– the educational resources and/or tools that will support the delivery of the
learning and assessment activities.
24. April 2017 24/55
Teaching Analytics
Capturing and documenting teaching designs through lesson plans can
be also beneficial to teachers from another perspective; to support
self-reflection and analysis for improvement
Teaching analytics refers to the methods and tools that teachers can
deploy in order to analyse their teaching design and reflect on it (as a
whole or on individual elements), aiming to improve the learning
conditions for their students
25. April 2017 25/55
Teaching Analytics: Why do it?
• Teaching Analytics can be used to support teaching planning, as
follows:
Analyze classroom teaching design for self-reflection and improvement
• Visualize the elements of the lesson plan
• Visualize the alignment of the lesson plan to educational objectives / standards
• Validates whether a lesson plan has potential inconsistencies in its design
Analyze classroom teaching design through sharing with peers or mentors to
receive feedback
• Support the process of sharing a lesson plan with peers or mentors, allowing them to provide
feedback through comments and annotations
Analyze classroom teaching design through co-designing and co-reflecting with
peers
• Allow peers to jointly analyze and annotate a common teaching design in order to allow for co-
reflection

Demonstration of Teaching Analytics (1/2)
Meet Michael, a Science school teacher
Michael has heard a lot about the Flipped Classroom
model, so he wants to try it out in his classroom!
He designs a lesson plan in Moodle, adopting basic principles of Flipped
Classroom:
– Free up classroom sessions from lecturing and, instead, provide educational resources that
students can study at home
– Use the classroom sessions to engage students in projects and assessments.
However, since it is his first ‘Flipped’ lesson plan, he wants to do a last check
before he delivers it to his students, to be sure that he has implemented the
Flipped Classroom principles.
Can Teaching Analytics help him?
29. April 2017 29/55

Personalized Learning in 21st century school education
• Personalised Learning is highlighted as a key global priority, due to
empirical evidence revealing the benefits it can deliver to students:
Who: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and RAND
Corporation
What: Large-scale study in USA to investigate the
potential of personalised learning in school education.
Results: Initial results from over 20 schools claim an
almost universal improvement in student
performance
Who: Education Elements
What: Study with 117 schools from 23 districts in the
USA to identify the impact of personalisation on
students' learning
Results: Consistent improvement in students’
learning outcomes and engagement
32. April 2017 32/55
Student Profiles for supporting Personalized Learning
(1/2)
A key element for successful personalised learning is the
measurement, collection and analysis and report on appropriate
student data, typically using student profiles.
A student profile is a set of attributes and their values that describe a
student.
33. April 2017 33/55
Student Profiles for supporting Personalized Learning
(2/2)
Types of student data commonly used by schools to build and populate
student profiles[11]:
Static Student Data Dynamic Student Data
Personal and academic attributes of students Students’ activities during the learning process
Remain unchanged for large periods of time. Generated in a more frequent rate
Usually stored in Student Information Systems
Usually collected by the classroom teachers
and/or Learning Management Systems.
Mainly related to:
Student demographics, such as age, special
education needs.
Past academic performance data, such as
history of course enrolments or academic
transcripts
They are mainly related to:
Student engagement in the learning
activities, such as level of participation in the
learning activities, level of motivation.
Student behaviour during the learning
activities, such as disciplinary incidents or
absenteeism rates.
Student performance, such as formative and
summative assessment scores.
34. April 2017 34/55
Learning Analytics
Learning Analytics have been defined as[8]:
“The measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners
and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning
and the environments in which it occurs”
Learning Analytics aims to support teachers build and maintain informative
and accurate student profiles to allow for more personalized learning
conditions for individual learners or groups of learners
Therefore, Learning Analytics can support:
‒ Collection of student data during the
delivery of a teaching design
‒ Analysis and report on student data
35. April 2017 35/55
Learning Analytics: Collection of student data
• Collection of student data during the delivery of a teaching design (e.g., a
lesson plan) aims to build/update individual student profiles.
• Types of student data typically collected are “Dynamic Student Data”:
– Engagement in learning activities. For example, the progress each student is
making in completing learning activities.
– Performance in assessment activities. For example, formative or summative
assessment scores.
– Interaction with Digital Educational Resources and Tools, for example which
educational resources each student is viewing/using.
– Behavioural data, for example behavioural incidents.
36. April 2017 36/55
Learning Analytics: Analysis and report on student data
Analysis and report on student data aims to provide insights from
the learning process and help the teacher to provide personalised
interventions
Learning Analytics can provide different types of outcomes, utilising
both “Dynamic Student Data” and “Static Student Data”:
Discover patterns within student data
Predict future trends in students’ progress
Recommend teaching and learning actions to either the teacher or the
student
37. April 2017 37/55
Learning Analytics: Strands
• Learning Analytics are commonly classified in[12]:
Descriptive Learning Analytics
• Depicts meaningful patterns or insights from the analysis of student
data to elicit “What has already happened”
• Related to “Discover Patterns within student data” outcome
Predictive Learning Analytics
• Predicts future trends in student progress to elicit “What will
happen”
• Related to “Predict Future Trends in students’ progress” outcome
Prescriptive Learning Analytics
• Generates recommendations for further teaching and learning
actions, supporting “What should we do”
• Related to “Recommend Teaching and Learning Actions” outcome

Demonstration of Learning Analytics (1/3)
Remember Michael, the Science school teacher?
He is now delivering his Flipped Classroom lesson
to his students, using Moodle!
However, some issues have arisen which he had not predicted. Now that many
learning activities happen outside the classroom he finds it difficult to:
‒ Identify which of his students are facing problems and what are the problems that
they face?
‒ Assess his students more holistically - You see, Michael believes that assessing his
students by only considering their performance in test and quizzes is not enough.
How can Learning Analytics help him?
42. April 2017 42/55
Demonstration of Learning Analytics (2/3)
Let’s see how the Moodle Engagement Analytics tool can help him address his
first question and highlight which students need his support and why, by
exploiting the analysis of data collected in Moodle
43. April 2017 43/55
Demonstration of Learning Analytics (3/3)
Let’s see how the Moodle Learning Analytics Enriched Rubric tool can help
him address his second question, by defining his own criteria for assessing
students based on their engagement and performance throughout the lesson's
activities
45. April 2017 45/55
Reflective practice for teachers
Reflective practice can be defined as[13]:
“[A process that] involves thinking about and critically analyzing one's actions
with the goal of improving one's professional practice”
46. April 2017 46/55
Types of Reflective practice
Two main types of reflective practice[14]:
Let’s see how combining Teaching and Learning Analytics can support
classroom teachers’ reflection-on-action, through the process of
teacher inquiry
- Takes place while the practice is executed and the
practitioner reacts on-the-fly
Reflection-in-
action
- Takes a more systematic approach in which practitioners
intentionally review, analyse and evaluate their practice after
it has been performed, documenting the process and results
- Teaching Analytics and Learning Analytics mainly support
this type of teachers’ reflection
Reflection-on-
action
47. April 2017 47/55
Teacher Inquiry (1/2)
• Teacher inquiry is defined as[15]:
“[a process] that is conducted by teachers, individually or collaboratively, with
the primary aim of understanding teaching and learning in context”
• The main goal of teacher inquiry is to improve the learning conditions
for students
48. April 2017 48/55
Teacher Inquiry (2/2)
• Teacher inquiry typically follows a cycle of steps:
Identify a Problem
for Inquiry
Develop Inquiry
Questions & Define
Inquiry Method
Elaborate and
Document Teaching
Design
Implement
Teaching Design
and Collect Data
Process and
Analyze Data
Interpret Data and
Take Actions
The teacher develops specific
questions to investigate.
Defines the educational data
that need to be collected and
the method of their analysis
The teacher defines teaching
and learning process to be
implemented during the
inquiry (e.g., through a lesson
plan)
The teacher makes an effort to
interpret the analysed data and
takes action in relation to their
teaching design
The teacher processes and
analyses the collected data to
obtain insights related to the
defined inquiry questions
The teacher implements their
classroom teaching design and
collects the educational data
The teacher identifies an issue of concern
in the teaching practice, which will be
investigated
49. April 2017 49/55
Teacher Inquiry: Needs
Teacher inquiry can be a challenging and time consuming process for
individual teachers:
‒ Heavy workloads allow limited time for reflection on teaching practice
‒ Increased difficulty when done in isolation from other teachers
Digital technologies can be used to support teacher inquiry
‒ A synergy between Teaching Analytics and Learning Analytics has the
potential to facilitate the efficient implementation of the full cycle of
inquiry
50. April 2017 50/55
Teaching and Learning Analytics
• Teaching and Learning Analytics (TLA) aim to combine:
– The structured description and analysis of the teaching design provided by
Teaching Analytics to help identify the inquiry problem, develop specific
questions to guide inquiry, and to document the teaching design
– The data collection, processes and analytical capabilities of Learning
Analytics to make sense of students’ data in relation to the teaching design
elements, and help the teacher to take action
51. April 2017 51/55
Teaching and Learning Analytics to support Teacher
Inquiry
• TLA can support teachers engage in the teacher inquiry cycle:
Teacher Inquiry Cycle Steps How TLA can contribute
Identify a Problem to Inquiry Teaching Analytics can be used to capture and analyse
the teaching design and help the teacher to:
• pinpoint the specific elements of their teaching design
that relate to the problem they have identified;
• elaborate on their inquiry question by defining
explicitly the teaching design elements they will
monitor and investigate in their inquiry.
Develop Inquiry Questions and Define Inquiry Method
Elaborate and Document Teaching Design
Implement Teaching Design and Collect Data
• Learning Analytics can be used to collect the student
data that the teacher has defined to answer their
question.
• Learning Analytics can be used to analyse and report
on the collected data in order to facilitate
interpretation.
Process and Analyse Data
Interpret Data and Take Actions
The combined use of Teaching and Learning Analytics
can be used to map the analysed data to the initial
teaching design, answer the inquiry question and
generate insights for teaching design revisions.

Demonstration of Teaching and Learning Analytics (1/2)
Let’s check on Michael on last time!
He has now delivered his Flipped Classroom
lesson and thinks it was a success!
However, since it was his Flipped Classroom attempt (and he would like to
design more in the future), he is interested to investigate:
‒ Which elements of his lesson plan (especially educational resources and
learning activities for home study) did students prefer or ignore?
Can Teaching and Learning Analytics help him?
54. April 2017 54/55
Demonstration of Teaching and Learning Analytics (2/2)
Let’s see how the Moodle Heatmap tool can help him to address his question
by inspecting how students engaged with each element of his lesson plan.
