Professional development through collaborative analysis of student work

Abstract

The original goal of this work was to create software support for teachers to use in analyzing the work their students had done using the educational data analysis software TinkerPlots. In pursuit of this goal, we designed three presentations of students’ work to be automatically generated for teachers. To evaluate these three presentation styles, we carried out a user test with a group of teachers. The conversation that ensued turned out to be an excellent example of professional development; we will continue to pursue this possibility in our future work.
