Evidence-Based Decision Making in the Classroom
LAK 2020 workshop, March 23rd, 9:00am – 12:30pm, Frankfort, Germany
Are you interested in empowering students and staff to engage with their
learning data? Then come to our workshop at LAK2020 to explore initiatives
and ideas that empower stakeholders in education to make better use of
their data; and so promote evidence-based practice and ultimately improve
the student experience.
Evidenced-based practice requires empowering those in the cold face of
teaching, learning and student support, to harvest information generated in
their respective contexts. Widespread acceptance and adoption of learning
analytics to answer questions that have meaning for stakeholders is a key
challenge over the coming decade. This workshop is a step towards exploring
how that may be achieved.
Run as a half-day interactive workshop, it will include short presentations
on current work in this area intermixed with group-based activities to
promote discussion, debate, and sharing of ideas. The session is the first
part of an exciting 1-day mini-track on teacher decision making; it is
followed in the afternoon by the 3rd Personalizing Feedback at Scale
Workshop: Teacher-Driven Action and Dialogue.
