Abstract

This study focuses on the role of data coaches in data-based decision-making (DBDM) in education. Interviews and focus groups with academics and practitioners were conducted to understand the needs and challenges regarding data coaching. The study highlights the collaborative nature of data coaching and suggests the involvement of multiple coaches, both internal and external to the school. Distinctions between primary and secondary education contexts are revealed. The practitioners encountered challenges in articulating the specific practices, knowledge, and skills required for a data coach. Despite these challenges, the study provides valuable insights for future research and contributes to a comprehensive understanding of data coaching in education. This study increases the understanding of the various requirements and preferences related to the role of data coaches in promoting effective data-based decision making practices, as data coaches and school teams collaborate closely.

沟通观点：不同利益攸关方对教育数据指导的见解

本研究侧重于数据指导在教育领域基于数据的决策（DBDM）中的作用。研究人员与学者和从业人员进行了访谈和焦点小组讨论，以了解数据指导方面的需求和挑战。研究强调了数据指导的协作性质，并建议学校内外的多位指导者参与其中。研究揭示了小学和中学教育背景之间的区别。实践者在阐明数据指导所需的具体实践、知识和技能方面遇到了挑战。尽管存在这些挑战，本研究仍为今后的研究提供了宝贵的见解，有助于全面了解教育领域的数据指导。随着数据教练和学校团队的密切合作，这项研究加深了人们对数据教练在促进有效的数据决策实践中的作用所涉及的各种要求和偏好的理解。
