Details

This workshop provides an introduction to statistical testing for primary, intermediate and junior secondary teachers and leaders who want to learn how to use their assessment data, pre- and post-testing, and research-level statistics to evaluate and 'prove' the impact of their initiatives on student achievement and learning. We will cover graphics, statistical tests and effect sizes appropriate to analysing e-asTTle, PAT, and SMART scores, curriculum levels and overall teacher judgements. Statistical tests will include cohort comparisons (e.g., comparing this year with previous years, female with male, ...), theoretical comparisons (e.g, comparing school distribution with national averages), and subgroup-group comparisons (e.g, comparing all class averages with overall school average). The workshop will consist of a survey of prior knowledge, a theoretical lecture, a guided individual exploration of statistical analysis using online data analysis dashboards, 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/4sdxgEF Please complete the survey before the start of the workshop.
