    Educational data from tools like pressure mice, facial recognition cameras, and skin conductance sensors are being used to measure student engagement, but these methods raise privacy and fairness concerns. International test scores also require context, as places like Shanghai-China and Hong Kong-China may not reflect cultural factors in other countries. Educators should approach educational data with skepticism but not abandon it, as proper interpretation and use is needed to ensure fairness for teachers and students.

    Numbers: What do they

    mean?

    Week 5 Education and Society


    Data-Driven Teaching
    Many educationalists have been
    excited by the potential of new forms
    of data to improve our teaching e.g.
    statistics about student success, new
    forms of data to measure student
    engagement, etc.
    Some Examples
    Pressure Mouse
    Facial Recognition Camera
    Scans students faces and interprets
    their expressions, eye movement,
    etc. to monitor student engagement.
    Skin Conductance Sensor
    Measures activity of the sweat glands
    a measure of psychological or
    physiological arousal.

    But thats not really going to
    happen, is it?

    Hmmm, Bill Gates is pushing for ALL of


    these things through the Common Core
    Curriculum in the US RIGHT NOW.

    PISA international comparisons.

    How useful are these comparisons?


    Does PISA measure the skills that are needed
    by young people in your context?
    Is it feasible to develop such a test that can
    be used in any context, independent of
    culture or any other variables?

    Conclusion
    Treat data with scepticism.
    How will data be used to interpret
    the strengths and weaknesses of
    your teaching?
    How fair will that be?
    Does that mean we should abandon
    data altogether?
