Abstract

The present study investigates how Flemish middle school mathematics teachers make sense of schoolperformanfeedback data from low-stakes, external standardised tests. We take an in-depth look into the interpretive steps they take, based on a conceptual model that integrates intuitive and rational aspects of individual and collective sensemaking and empirical data collected in semi-structured interviews. We describe the nature of these sensemaking processes and consider the impact of influencing factors. Our findings demonstrate that the mere availability of school performance feedback data does not spontaneously spark sensemaking, nor does it necessarily lead to improvements in instructionalpractice. Teachers' sensemaking of schoolperformancefeedback data appears to be a largely intuitive process, grounded in external attributions and absent of triangulation. Challenges regarding expertise and lack of inquiry-based attitude and commitment result in superficial and often incorrect interpretations of the data that tend to remain uncorrected as teachers barely engage in collaborative professional dialogue about the data.

“意义制造”揭开了谜面:教师如何处理学校表现反馈数据
本研究调查了佛兰德中学数学教师如何理解来自低风险外部标准化测试的学校表现反馈数据。我们深入研究了他们采取的解释步骤,基于一个概念模型,该模型集成了个人和集体意义的直觉和理性方面以及在半结构化访谈中收集的经验数据。我们描述了这些语义生成过程的性质,并考虑了影响因素的影响。我们的研究结果表明,仅仅是学校表现反馈数据的可用性并不能自发地激发意义构建,也不一定会导致教学实践的改进。教师对学校表现反馈数据的理解似乎在很大程度上是一个直观的过程,基于外部归因,缺乏三角测量。专业知识方面的挑战以及缺乏基于探究的态度和承诺导致对数据的肤浅和经常不正确的解释,由于教师几乎不参与关于数据的协作专业对话,这些解释往往得不到纠正。

期刊介绍: Studia Paedagogica publishes original papers on education, upbringing and learning from all spheres of social life. The papers are theoretical, but mainly empirical as the journal publishes research undertaken in the Czech Republic and abroad. The journal publishes only original research papers and is open to both experienced and early researchers. Early researchers can publish their papers in the section Emerging Researchers of the journal and are offered intensive editorial support. The journal is interdisciplinary - it covers current topics in educational research while at the same time providing scope for studies grounded in other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, two issues are dedicated to general interest articles and are in Czech, two issues are on a single topic and are in English. Studia Paedagogica is a peer reviewed journal published by the Masaryk University. The executive editors are members of the staff of the Department of Educational Sciences and the editorial board comprises of international experts. The name of the journal is derived from the name of its predecessor, Studia minora facultatis philosophicae universitatis brunensis (Sborník prací filozofické fakulty brněnské univerzity), which was issued from 1996 to 2008. However, the tradition of the journal dates much further back as the pedagogical-psychological series of the journal was published even between 1966 to 1995.
