There is growing interest in how to better prepare K-12 students to work with data. In this article, we assert that these discussions of teaching and learning must attend to the human dimensions of data work. Specifically, we draw from several established lines of research to argue that practices involving the creation and manipulation of data are…

Whilst there is plenty of debate on the nature and role of data in social science research, data in schools tend to be understood in terms of numbers and used in limited ways linked primarily to attainment. The 'datafication' of schooling has been strongly critiqued for its powerful impacts on policy and practice, pupils' experience, the…

This is the fourth in a series of statistical articles for mathematics teachers. In this article, the authors discuss topics in General Mathematics in Unit 2 Topic 1 (Univariate data analysis and the statistical investigation process) and topics in Essential Mathematics, Unit 2 Topic 1 (Representing and comparing data).

Students using self-directed learning platforms, such as Duolingo, cannot be adequately assessed relying solely on responses to standard learning exercises due to a lack of control over learners' choices in how to utilize the platform: for example, how learners choose to sequence their studying and how much they choose to revisit old material. To…

Data collection of IEP goals is an ongoing problem in special education (Blackwell & Rossetti, 2014; Codding, Skorron, & Pace, 2005, Sandall, Schwartz, & LaCroix, Ruble, McGrew, Wong, & Missall, 2018; Walton, 1985). Research shows that there are inconsistencies between belief and practice. Many educators acknowledge the importance…

Psycholinguistics is the research of language in the mind: The architecture of storing the different components of language in our memory, and the ways we access that knowledge when processing and producing language. Psycholinguists usually conduct quantitative experimental research in which certain standards of experimental design, data…

Obtaining relevant data and conveying limitations of the results are two integral components to a successful statistical analysis. It is difficult for students to internalize a deep understanding of these components using only curated, textbook-style examples. Through hands-on data collection, this activity provides a channel for students to…

Online education is an important component of education reform and one of the important learning modes in today's society, which can achieve the goal of learning anytime, anywhere and for everyone.

Research administrators (RA) at institutions of higher education (IHE) provide critical support to faculty throughout the lifecycle of research, which include developing research, applying to funding opportunities, managing awards through closeout, and maintaining compliance. Fulfilling these tasks requires well-developed RA processes and clear…

Real-time and traditional labor market information (LMI) should inform all facets of the state Career Technical Education (CTE) policymaking process. Subsequently, national LMI was the foundation of the process to update the modernized National Career Clusters® Framework. Intentionality when incorporating elements of LMI into supported CTE…

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted an unprecedented, short-term shift in state K-12 teacher licensure policies. When testing centers and K-12 schools closed during the pandemic, most states waived teacher licensure requirements on a temporary basis. As more states consider changes to teacher licensure policy, the need for clear, actionable evidence…
