4 TYPES OF DATA FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT. Collaborative Inquiry: A facilitators guide p.19-20

INTERRUPTION OF BIASES: Katz & Dack, 2014, 37-39

Conformation Bias

Favouring information which confirms what you already believe in: I think we have a tendency to do this to avoid a state of dissonance

Omission Bias

Doing vs not doing

vividness Bias

Placing more weight on prestigious attributes:

Some extroverted students may seem more engaged which often seem as though they are learning more, yet assessments show that my introverted students score the same

what are the necessary behaviours and beliefs that pre-service teachers need to acquire in order to be effective in the field of education?

In teacher education: What conditions are necessary to increase and maintain student motivation and self-efficacy

Students entering teacher training (physical education) believe that skill and ability in sports will make them successful as a physical education teacher.

1)STUDENT LEARNING

3)PERCEPTUAL

2)DEMOGRAPHIC

MAKE SURE EVIDENCE IS TRIANGULATED=SUPPORTING AND PROVIDING WEIGHT TO EVIDENCE: THE MORE SOURCES THE BETTER

In my field, I use a lot of student learning data both formative and summative assessments along with perceptual data as in physical education observing is easiest. Process data is often made explicit through collaborating with other staff members.

DESIRED OUTCOMES ARE MORE LIKELY WHEN TEAMS ACT TOGETHER: Facilitator's Guide

PURPOSE

TRUST-RESPECT-COHESION

A sense of belonging

SHARED VISION

success is more likely

GOAL SETTING

Self-Efficacy

Motivation

How does fatigue and anxiety effect the rate of problem solving ????

4:DATA: A TOOL FOR THINKING

4)SCHOOL PROCESS

HOW CAN I REGULATE STUDENT BEHAVIOUR IN UNIVERSITY ? HOW SHOULD I CLASSIFY BEHAVIOURS? HOW CAN I SET UP MY PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS FOR SUCCESS IN EDUCATION?

What kinds of strategies are best suited when groups encounter resistance by a member of their team?

ANALYZING, SHARING AND CELEBRATING: What is the data saying? ORGANIZE-READ DESCRIBE-CLASSIFY-INTERPRET-REPORT-RECOMMENDATIONS-SHARE FINDINGS-CELEBRATE (COLLABORATIVE INQUIRY: A Facilitators Guide

WHO IS YOUR TEAM? WHO ARE THE MEMBERS: My team comprises of research professors, student advisor, field instructors and supervisors.

Quick adaptations are required -what knowledge can we transfer?

In the field of physical education, transfer of learning is a common thread among sports. What do we know about a certain sport-how skill-tactics-strategies transfer from one context to the next.

Relational trust: respect for others-competence-integrity-respect

Adaptive: with new knowledge/data-new directions arise

PLC: is a shared objective: Always for the student.

How is relational trust developed through distance collaboration/digital tools. Does relational trust take more time when collaborative teams are not face to face????? Burning Question

Excellence is everyone's responsibility

protected time-norms-evidence based decision making-common connection

Common connection-is this more eefcetively achieved through face to face interactions with shared students vs digital connection????

Time and Space to ponder: protected space-Liberate time to do so!!!!

Real time picture: of student learning. research Brief: Are you a true PLC P.4

CAN PLC DECREASE THE RATE OF TEACHER BURNOUT AND ATTRITION?????? (Burning Question)

Data: gives you the stepping stones to start the inquiry process...

Back and forth exchange which happens many times

Exploration-identify interconnected parts-some solutions for parts-combination of solutions

Problem structuring-problem solving phases-reversing directions-modularity (Goel& Pirelli p.405)

PROBLEM STRUCTURING

? + ? =VALUE ABDUCTION IN MY DESIGN

ANALOGICAL THINKING: MY ANALOGY (STILL IN PROGRESS: based on some observations

More and more students are entering teacher training without having previous experience with children. Many enter programs without the necessary motivation and determination to learn content and skills. Other behaviours hinder their development such as poor adherence to classroom etiquette (arriving late, unprepared, disruptive in class, skipping classes). What procedures should be implemented in student selection process in order to select the most promising student. If a selection process was in order would it change class dynamics what effect will it have for teacher attrition and would this change academic policies. Show policies be implemented in class to manage behaviours? Should instructors and advisors tell students that they should withdraw from teacher training?
