Data capture technologies are increasingly incorporated into teaching and learning settings in an effort to offer personalized learning opportunities. Despite the general enthusiasm for these initiatives, concerns persist as to the effective and ethical collection and use of that data. In response, this article offers a complimentary account of…

Recent advances in eye-tracking technology afford the possibility to collect rich data on attentional focus in a wide variety of settings outside the lab. However, apart from anecdotal reports, it is not clear how to maximize the validity of these data and prevent data loss from tracking failures. Particularly helpful in developing these…

Summative assessment data are rarely adapted into instructional decision making. In this project, teachers and researchers work together to identify how teachers use diagnostic data (students' development of common core standards). We analysed students' responses to trimester tests that teachers and researchers modified together using cognitive…

Disproportionality in the identification of disabilities among children who are culturally and linguistically diverse is an ongoing challenge for educators. A practice that may help address issues of disproportionality is the use of universal screening and progress monitoring data for academic skills as well as English language proficiency data to…

Prioritizing social, emotional, and behavioral supports is essential for student success. By establishing systems to support students' social (how they interact), emotional (how they feel), and behavioral (how they act) needs and growth, educators and leaders can ensure that all students have full access to instruction and the essential skills for…

Focus of the…

Sound measurement of teacher self-efficacy and anxiety surrounding data-driven decision making is crucial in both theory-building and efficacy studies, as well as in practical contexts. The present study (N=457) thusly examined the validity of inferences drawn from the Data-Driven Decision-Making Efficacy and Anxiety Inventory (3D-MEA; Dunn et…

Including cost-effectiveness data in the evaluation of programs is the next step in the evolution of evidence-based practice. Evidence-based practice is grounded in three complementary elements: best available evidence, professional judgment, and client values and context. To fully apply the cost-effectiveness data, school administrators will have…
