Recording and Managing Student Data

In terms of recording data, I have used several different methods during my two practices. The first of which is Seqta which is a school database that includes information on all students and staff. Similarly, I used a database known as SIS at my second school. Generally, I would mark and record student data into an excel spreadsheet and then input this data into the school database. I have also had experience with writing report comments on student academic achievement and behaviour. These are 3 different ways in which I have recorded student data digitally.

​

Digital Assessment Examples:

1. Kahoot (formative)

I used Kahoot as an online formative assessment tool (see standard 2.6). I would also ask it to send me a copy of the quiz results to my email. This was an efficient way to record the data for my Year 10 Science class. The results were downloaded in excel format which made it very convenient. Furthermore, I would rank order the scores to see who was struggling with the topic. I then spent more time with these students to clarify their understanding as well as any misconceptions. These students would normally skip out on work due to a lack of understanding of the task. However, in this case, they were able to fully complete their assessment task on time.

3. Education Perfect (summative)

Education Perfect was used as a summative assessment task during my second practice. For my Year 11 class, I used Education Perfect to administer the topic test in digital format. This allowed for efficient marking and recording of student assessment data.

Guttman Chart Analysis

During my second practice, I prepared an assessment of the excretory system for my Year 11 Science class. This was done using Google Forms and the results were exported into an excel spreadsheet. I formatted the results into a Guttman chart where individual questions were included. By organising the results in this way, I was able to identify the zone of proximal development (ZPD). This was used to inform my teaching practice. For example, one student answered all of the remembering and understanding questions correctly. However, they incorrectly answered Q3 and Q6 which required them to apply their knowledge to other body systems. These questions were also included in their ZPD which showed me areas of development for this student.
