Daniel Pettersson; Andreas Nordin – Routledge Research in Education Policy and Politics, 2023
This volume centres the notion of "chance" in education as a key concept in contemporary education -- relating to aspects like accountability, datafication, or international large-scale assessments -- and discusses the impact that the historical desire to "tame" this notion has had on present-day educational policy and…

Tal Soffer; Anat Cohen – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
The rapid recent use of learning analytics (LA) in higher education, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic, allows the monitoring of users' behavior while learning.

Parcerisa, Lluís – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2021
Despite the growing number of researches about performance-based accountability (PBA) in education, there is still scarce evidence on the mediating role of subjective variables (e.g., perceived pressure and alignment to PBA mandates) in the enactment of PBA in socially disadvantaged contexts. This is paradoxical because marginalized schools are…

Beach, J. M. – Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2021
This book examines the idea of educational accountability in higher education, which has become a new secular gospel. But do accountability policies actually make colleges better? What if educational accountability tools don't actually measure what they're supposed to? What if accountability data isn't valid, or worse, what if it's meaningless?…

Heather A. Turner; Jeffrey C. Sun; Kevin P. Kinser; Sarah T. Zipf – Institute for College Access & Success, 2024
Online program managers (OPMs) are third-party companies that work with colleges and universities to develop, launch, and deliver online learning.

Nahar, Gul; Urick, Angela; Wescoup, Stephanie M.; Jang, Chang Sung; Cascio, Casey J.; Unsicker-Durham, Shelly K. – AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, 2022
Many school educators struggle to reconcile the onslaught of mandatory and competing, top-down policies. Educators must merge policies into a singular plan that reflects the local stakeholders' goals and values. Given the federal and state accountability movement, schools are forced to build capacity around the use of on-site data and research…

Paige Kowalski – State Education Standard, 2024
Everyone who uses student information has a responsibility to maintain students' privacy and the security of their data. Ensuring student data privacy is about so much more than complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). While privacy must be top of mind when thinking about collecting and using personally identifiable…

Sutherland, Daniella Hall – Educational Policy, 2022
This qualitative case study examines how board members make sense of federal accountability policies and how their sensemaking shapes their use of assessment data as a policy instrument. Deviating from previous work on practitioner sensemaking, the participants' interpretations of assessments did not align with their ensuing use of the data.…

Carl-Henrik Adolfsson; Jan Håkansson – Research in Educational Administration & Leadership, 2024
In recent decades, there has been a growing body of research that highlights local education authorities (LEA) as potential contributors to support school capacity building and result development.
