VDB 2: EDUC 630 - Traci Best


VDB #2: Data Collection & Analysis                     EDUC 630

Collecting data and analyzing it to inform instruction is a pretty basic principle of the modern classroom. One very rudimentary example of that would be to assign an exit ticket activity at the end of a lesson. Students would be required to identify key elements of the lesson objective and state them briefly in either an electronic app-based program or with something as simple as a post-it note or index card and pencil. Teachers could then use the information to direct their lesson planning and make decisions such as whether a whole-group review was required, or maybe follow-up with a small group of students to review before the next lesson. The information from the lesson exit ticket could also be used to connect to previous learning at the beginning of the next lesson.

Roblyer & Hughes (2019) suggests that students might collect and analyze data from science experiments to test hypotheses or generate box and whisker plots to visually display data distributions.
