Details

This workshop is intended for teachers and leaders who are already familiar with the basics of statistical testing (e.g., attended a previous statistics workshop). We will discuss and explore how to combine junior school scale pre-tests (e.g., e-asTTle, PAT, SMART) and high-stakes senior school ordinal post-tests (e.g., NCEA Level Qualifications) to evaluate across-sector learning and ‘prove’ the impact of teaching initiatives on learning. We will cover Linear Regression and Ordinal Logistic Regression, focusing on how to interpret ordinal logistic regression graphics, equations and statistics to describe learning, demographic differences, and initiative impact. The workshop will consist of a survey of prior knowledge, a theoretical lecture, a guided individual exploration of an Ordinal Logistic Regression using an online data analysis dashboard, and group discussions of our findings. Participants will need their own laptop to access the prior knowledge survey, online dashboards and resources shared via google drive at start of workshop. Here is the link to the prior knowledge survey https://bit.ly/4qVXBWz Please complete the survey before the start of the workshop.
