Title: NAP sample assessment : science literacy 2015 : public report.
Author(s): Boot, Frans | Connolly, Nick | Dulhunty, Mark | Lennon, Melissa | Pedrazzini, John | Stephanou, Andrew | Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) | Educational Assessment Australia | Educational Measurement Solutions
Published: Sydney : Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) : 2017
Abstract: The NAP sample assessment–science literacy (NAP–SL) is one of a suite of three national sample assessments, which also include civics and citizenship, and information and communication technology literacy. These assessments are developed and managed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) under the auspices of the Education Council. Every three years, ACARA assesses a stratified random sample of students. These assessments support measurement and reporting on progress towards the achievement of the objectives outlined in the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (2008). They monitor the extent to which our schooling promotes equity and excellence, and the progress of young Australians towards becoming successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and informed citizens. The findings from the 2015 NAP sample assessment presented in this report provide information on the science literacy of Year 6 students across Australia. The report also analyses the performance of states and territories and various subgroups, including Indigenous students, those living in remote and very remote areas, and students from language backgrounds other than English. The data provide insight into the level of science knowledge, understandings and skills of our Year 6 students. In addition, the student survey highlights the extent of students' interest in science, their engagement in science-related activities and their understanding of how science is relevant to their lives. The present report is the fifth in the series of three- yearly reports, which began in 2003. [p.16, ed]

Title: Using data, conversations and observations for school improvement.
Author(s): Moyle, Kathryn | Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)
Published: Melbourne : Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) : July 2016
ISBN: 9781742864099
Abstract: Conversations and observations about school-based data and individual improvements in classroom practices can form some of the more powerful parts of a school’s overall approach to professional learning deliberately aimed at gaining improvements. The success of such strategies depends on the development of a school culture of trust, and the use of effective communication strategies. In this paper Professor Kathryn Moyle outlines the steps school leadership can take in establishing a basis for conversations and observations, conducting coaching and mentoring conversations and building a culture of trust. The focus in this paper is on the professional learning purposes of using data coupled with conversations and observations, rather than their use for accountability purposes. [ACEReSearch]

Abstract: This paper explores how the data environment for schools and school systems is changing and what the trends are for the future. He discusses typical use of data analysis in schools, explains how big data is different; comments on the value of learning analytics to build predictive models, and provides examples of leading edge work being undertaken in higher education and schools. He concludes that there are significant benefits to gain from analysis of big data for educational purposes, but systems and schools must develop skills, procedures and safeguards to ensure the appropriate collection, protection and use of data.

Title: Targeted teaching : how better use of data can improve student learning.
Series: (Grattan Institute report ; n. 2015-6)
Author(s): Goss, Peter | Hunter, Jordana | Grattan Institute | Grattan Institute
Published: [Carlton Vic] : Grattan Institute : July 2015
ISBN: 9781925015713
Abstract: This report argues that teachers and schools can lift all students’ performance if they are equipped to collect and use evidence of individual student achievement and progress. By working together, teachers should assess what each student knows now, target their teaching to what they are ready to learn next, and track each student’s progress over time. Teachers should then analyse their own impact, keep what works and change what does not. Investing in student progress requires giving every teacher the time, tools and training to collect and use evidence to target their teaching in this way. The challenge is to embed targeted teaching in every classroom. Governments and school systems must provide more guidance and support. It would cost roughly $300 million per year to roll out the best of today’s programs to the schools that need it most. This report shows how it culd be achieved, providing recommendations for schools, teachers, governments and parents. [p.1, ed]

Title: Interpreting competencies in Australian vocational education and training : practices and issues.
Series: (TD/TNC 114.10)
Author(s): Hodge, Steven | National Centre for Vocational Education Research (Australia) (NCVER) | Australia. Dept of Industry
Published: Adelaide : NCVER : 2014
ISBN: 9781922056740
Abstract: This research addresses the question of how Australian vocational education and training (VET) practitioners interpret units of competency ('competencies'). In Australian vocational education and training, the skills and knowledge deemed essential to perform in occupations covered by the VET system are identified by industry representatives and this content is recorded in competency standards. It is the job of VET practitioners (designers, trainers, teachers and assessors) to interpret these competencies and design and/or facilitate learning and assessment on the basis of this interpretation. It is clear that the integrity of Australia's competency-based VET system depends in part on how practitioners perform the work of interpretation. However, to date there has been no research that specifically addresses the question of how practitioners do this. This qualitative project, based on interviews with 30 VET practitioners, was designed to contribute to our knowledge of this topic.

Abstract: Recent evaluations of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) have recommended investigating the potential for combining LSAY data with external data sources as a way to improve the breadth of information in the survey, but without adding respondent burden. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this discussion paper is to investigate the potential for linking data from existing administrative collections to LSAY and to explore the viability of combining data from LSAY and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). In the first part of the report, the potential for enhancing LSAY with information from administrative collections through data linkage is investigated. The second part explores the viability of combining relevant data from LSAY and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children via statistical matching.

Abstract: This guide is intended to assist university staff involved with international students to interpret and make good use of the results of their annual International Student Barometer (ISB) results. It offers practical advice, particularly for those who deal directly with international students, on how they can make changes and improvements that will increase satisfaction with the many aspects of international student experiences in specific universities. The guide focuses on the four ISB areas most directly related to the on-campus student experience: arrival, learning, living and support. The presentation of a variety of good practice case studies shows how different universities have improved student satisfaction levels in one or more of the four areas. These case studies are interspersed with discussion of the significance and challenges of different aspects of provision of services with reference to national and international ISB results.

Series: (Research paper / Australian Bureau of Statistics)
Author(s): Longstaff, Emily | Webster, Andrew | Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
Published: Canberra : Australian Bureau of Statistics : 2011
Abstract: When calculating educational attainment indicators for national reporting purposes, decisions need to be made on how best to deal with those people for whom information on educational qualifications is not available, i.e. 'Not stated'. This paper reviews the characteristics of people with 'Stated' and 'Not stated' levels of attainment by comparing 2006 Census data with corresponding survey data at the national and jurisdiction level, with a focus on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. The impact of including and excluding the 'Not stated' records in the calculation of education indicators is examined, together with a third approach which explicitly examines the two components of the Census 'Not stated' group: imputed records and item non-responses. The paper concludes that, although there are some differences between the 'Stated' and 'Not stated' groups, it is nonetheless reasonable to claim that, overall and on average, they have similar characteristics. Consequently the paper proposes the continuation of the practical and transparent method of excluding 'Not stated' records in the calculation of the education indicators. [Author abstract]

Abstract: The collection scope of the National Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) Collection consists of all establishments delivering an early childhood education (ECE) program. An ECE program is defined as a structured, play based learning program primarily aimed at children in the year or two before they commence full-time schooling, and usually delivered by a qualified teacher on a sessional basis.

Author(s): Mulford, Bill | Edmunds, Bill | University of Tasmania. Faculty of Education
Published: : Faculty of Education, University of Tasmania : 2010
ISBN: 9781862954915
Abstract: The authors contend that successful, accountable principals need to be able to take account of the past and the present while looking to the future. Most crucial is the principal's ability to learn from history, to know what they stand for, to be able to monitor their own system constantly, and to accept as well as reject new practices and new products in response to good evaluative and accountability evidence. Successful principals need to work smarter not harder.

Published: Cary, N.C. : SAS Publishing : 2010
ISBN: 1599946408 |9781599946405
Abstract: Survival Analysis Using SAS: A Practical Guide, is an accessible, data-based introduction to methods of survival analysis. Researchers who want to analyze survival data with SAS will find just what they need with this fully updated new edition that incorporates the many enhancements in SAS procedures for survival analysis in SAS 9. Although the book assumes only a minimal knowledge of SAS, more experienced users will learn new techniques of data input and manipulation. Numerous examples of SAS code and output make this an eminently practical book, ensuring that even the uninitiated become sophisticated users of survival analysis. The main topics presented include censoring, survival curves, Kaplan-Meier estimation, accelerated failure time models, Cox regression models, and discrete-time analysis. Also included are topics not usually covered in survival analysis books, such as time-dependent covariates, competing risks, and repeated events.

Abstract: In this paper the author brings together the best thinking in contemporary understandings of the role of assessment in learning. She begins by positioning assessment in the current national education debate, and then broadens our understanding of assessment and its core purposes. The report provides insight into the problems of reliability and validity in assessment and how schools might respond. The paper concludes with some important principles which might be used by schools to reflect on their assessment practices. These questions challenge us all to ensure that assessment is designed with learning in mind, not just a simple analysis of performance or the ranking of students within a cohort.

ISBN: 9781921214363
Abstract: 'This book reports on the findings from three research studies undertaken by the authors and associates in several Australian states during the years 2000 to 2004. The bulk of the research was undertaken with six schools in Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory including students from Grades 3 to 10, to devise teaching sequences for teachers to use to develop mental computation with whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percents. The second research study considered the transition from mental strategies recorded informally to formal written algorithms. The final study is a small scale case study of one approach to implementing a mental computation program in one primary school in New South Wales. This study is referred to as the Implementation project.'--Provided by publisher

Abstract: The author examines the meaning of accountability, develops a metaphorical way of thinking about being accountable and discusses the role of data in accountability. She argues that accountability and innovation are interdependent but independent concepts, and that the challenge is to enhance both concepts so that learning is optimised for young people. In this context, leaders who wish to use accountability as a vehicle for improvement will need to develop three capacities: inquiry habit of mind; data literacy; and a culture of inquiry. The author believes leaders must take this path it they and their schools are to meet the changing demands that society places on education. [Back page, ed]

Abstract: The principles and concepts of survey measurement quality issues of survey quality have become increasingly more prominent in recent years. As more and more professionals who are not necessarily trained as survey researchers take on tasks associated with surveys, the need arises for a grounded, basic introduction to current survey methods and quality issues associated with them. Introduction to Survey Quality summarizes the history of survey research and outlines the essential concepts for data quality. With an emphasis on total survey error, authors Paul Biemer and Lars Lyberg review well-established, as well as recently developed principles and concepts in the field, and examine important issues that are still unresolved and being actively pursued in the current survey methods literature. Spanning a range of topics dealing with the quality of data collected through the survey process, they focus on such key issues as : major sources of survey error, examining the origins of each error source and the most successful methods for reducing errors from those sources, methods most often used in practice for evaluating the effects of the source on total survey error, implications of improving survey quality for organizational management and cost. Introduction to Survey Quality is written for a broad audience that includes experienced survey researchers who would benefit from a better understanding of survey data quality as well as others with little or no prior training in survey methods.

Title: The use of data to inform effective intervention in literacy and numeracy programs in the early years of schooling.
Author(s): Australia. Dept of Education, Science and Training (DEST)
Published: Canberra : Commonwealth Dept of Education Science & Training : 2001
Abstract: As education authorities throughout Australia refined and developed assessment practices for use in the early years of schooling, a number of issues have emerged. The purpose of this paper is to address the issue of how the collection and analysis of data on students’ literacy and numeracy achievement is used to inform the development of literacy and numeracy programs. The paper provides examples of successful initiatives developed by schools, on an individual or cluster basis, which demonstrate how the collection and analysis of data was used to initiate improvement in educational practices. In many instances the initiatives have developed from system or sector wide data collection. This paper recognises that the collection of data, as such, does not lead to improved practice but that it can provide indisputable evidence for the need to review practices and initiate changes. This paper looks at the links between data collection and analysis and improvement in schools that are quite diverse in nature, ranging from large to small schools in both rural and urban areas. The case studies set out in the paper have been drawn from States and Territories throughout Australia and represent the effort and achievements of teachers and principals as they work to improve students’ literacy and numeracy outcomes.
