Burton, Erin Peters; Rich, Peter; Cleary, Timothy; Burton, Stephen; Kitsantas, Anastasia; Egan, Garrett; Ellsworth, Jordan – Science Teacher, 2020
Students often need to obtain, organize, clean, and analyze data in order to draw conclusions about a particular phenomenon (e.g., why tidal heights change). When conducting a science investigation in biology, chemistry, physics, or Earth science, data can be collected by the student or can be provided to them via secondary data sets. This article…

Lovett, Marsha; Hershock, Chad – To Improve the Academy, 2020
A prominent goal of colleges and universities today is to enact data-driven teaching and learning. Faculty clearly play a key role, and yet they tend to have limited time, a lack of training in assessment or education research, and few incentives for engaging in this work. We describe a framework designed to address the practical and cultural…
