Abstract: Data quality and availability in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students' higher education participation and pathways remains a persistent challenge. In this paper we identify that, to date, there has been no systematic attempt to conceptualise and summarise many important aspects of data quality. The research reported in this paper, enabled through funding from an Office for Learning and Teaching seed grant, redresses this and proposes a conceptual framework for identifying and understanding the impacts of matters of data quality. We argue that the pursuit of a shared statistical literacy is best viewed through the dual lens of whiteness and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander terms of reference. Borrowing from the health sector, we conceptualise data quality issues as upstream, midstream and downstream. This framework identifies the locus of responsibility and intervention as a catalyst for purposeful action to address data quality challenges at the national, sectoral and institutional levels. The benefits of applying the proposed framework include a conceptual lens through which cultural issues may be unmasked; enhanced sector-wide critical statistical literacy; and a systematic accountability framework for assessing efforts to improve data quality. Finally, it is proposed that key elements from this framework might be usefully applied to the development of sector-wide guidelines for the collection, interpretation, use and storage of quality data and statistics to enhance the transition, participation and retention experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander higher education students.

Abstract: The Internet of Things is about smart objects – interconnected things in which the line between the physical object and digital information about that object is blurred. At the simplest level, IoT focuses on sensor networks – machines communicating with other machines, and the data created as a result. As things add capabilities such as context-awareness, increased processing power, and energy independence, and, as more people and new information are connected, we have a network of networks where billions, or even trillions, of connections create unprecedented opportunities, as well as new risks. There are a lot of examples of how IoT will impact our daily lives. Websites such as Postscape's Internet of Things give some clear examples, but how will IoT impact what is taught both in the use of technology and across subject areas? What benefits could adopting IoT bring to education and what will educators need to know in order to exploit IoT to benefit learners? [Author excerpt]

Abstract: Data governance is a relatively new and evolving discipline. It encompasses the people who are responsible for data quality (the stewards); the policies and processes associated with collecting, managing, storing and reporting data; and the information technology systems and support that provide efficient infrastructure. Higher education institutions are paying more attention to data governance as they move into a funding environment that focuses on performance measures, targets and accountability. This article describes the establishment of the university-wide Data Governance Advisory Group (DGAG) at the University of Newcastle and highlights some of the short-term achievements as well as the longer-term goals of the group. The DGAG is responsible for providing advice to senior management on data governance policies, standards and strategic approaches; data quality initiatives; data privacy, compliance and security; data architecture and integration requirements; and data warehouse and business intelligence priorities. Membership of the DGAG includes key stakeholders from planning, quality and reporting; student and academic services; human resources (HR); finance; information technology (IT); research services; library; facilities management; external relations and corporate services. The monthly meetings have provided a forum for discussion of data quality and governance across the whole life cycle from collection to reporting to decision-making for a range of teaching and learning, research, administration and services data collections. Outcomes include the establishment of a register of data collections, a mapping of how data are used in official reports and benchmarking/ranking projects; the development of a common data dictionary, the sharing of good practices and promoting a collaborative culture.

Published: April 2010
ISSN: 1033-2170
Abstract: Mathematics education researchers conducting instruction experiments using a design research methodology are challenged with the analysis of often complex and large amounts of qualitative data. In this paper, the authors present two case studies that show how multimedia analysis software can greatly support video data analysis and theory development in design research. The software can (a) act as a type of mould for organising large amounts of data; (b) contribute to improving the trackability and reliability of the research; and (c) support theory generation and validation. They propose an integrated model that elucidates the complex process of data analysis by showing how each of the components that are involved in the data analysis procedures feeds into the emerging local instruction theory. The model combines the intricate cycles of coding and analysing raw video data with the cumulative cyclic process that characterises design research in mathematics education. The authors' experiences with this model may support other mathematics education researchers in the development of thorough and empirically supported local instruction theories from complex qualitative analyses.

ISSN: 1444-1284
Abstract: As a final-year education student about to embark on a teaching career, the author ponders how the information explosion will affect his approach to teaching 21st century students. Students are increasingly expected to categorise, evaluate, respond, reflect, analyse, synthesize, reject information. They are expected to handle much more data than ever before. They are breaking projects down to constituent parts, apportioning responsibility and working in formal and informal groups in a variety of roles to meet objectives. These metacognitive skills not only aid students in the pursuit/creation of knowledge; they illuminate what is not known. The radical innovation upon which almost all other classroom innovations is predicated is student-centred learning. The author is interested in the learning that occurs at the intersection of two educational practices: the formal teaching of thinking skills and the application of those metacognitive skills through ICT. Several questions are posed, which the author feels the need to address as a teacher designing learning for 21st century students. It is in this digital economy and culture where teaching needs to be innovative. [Author abstract, ed]

Abstract: We can connect a PDA to a computer by USB, infrared beam or radio and find that appropriate software on each machine has updated the calendars, address books and task lists and stands ready to transfer music and films from a file format suitable to our computer to the quite different file format required by the PDA. With equal ease we can translate and move Word and Excel files. The transfer of data from one part of a computer to another has always been a complex task in which speed is traded against accuracy and the time required for error correction. Much more complex therefore is the transfer of information from one machine to another of a different type. Difficulties arise when machines are updated, when file formats are changed or data needs to be exchanged between machines for which the manufacturer has not provided suitable software. Other problems arise from an increasing awareness of copyright and security issues, but most file transfer problems arise simply because of the passage of time. New operating systems often fail to recognise old peripheral devices and data from old software versions. The author discusses these problems by examining the topics of connectivity and file compatibility. She recommends that schools archive complete systems that are the best representatives of their eras. Another important task is housekeeping: throw out files that will never be read again because they continue to unnecessarily bloat your archiving efforts. [Author abstract, ed]

ISSN: 0727-1255
Abstract: Data handling is often approached in an investigative and active way. When the data is about the students themselves, they readily identify with the purpose as they begin gathering, sorting and representing their findings in a variety of ways. The invaluable outcome of data handling is that all students can be involved and achieve success. Data handling particularly suits visual and kinaesthetic learners, who tend to find it difficult recalling and processing isolated mathematical problems when working with numbers alone. As data handling often involves a lot of numbers, students need to grasp the ability to translate their information into simple lists, tables and graphs to become adept at analysing and interpreting their findings. It is also worth considering representing the same data in a variety of ways, given that the collecting of data is often time-consuming. By providing students with a range of activities for gathering, sorting, representing and interpreting data, teachers aim to improve students' thinking and problem-solving skills. As they become more familiar with different ways to represent data, teachers provide opportunities for students to set their own data collection studies and experiment with representing their findings in a variety of ways.

Published: March 2006
ISSN: 1443-1475
Abstract: This paper analyses the measurement issues in education achievement, and integration of education goals and targets, in the context of human development in India. Measurement issues are distinguished by (a) choice of indicators and variables and (b) data used in estimation/projection/computation of indicators and variables in the global human development reports (HDRs) and in India's national and sub-national HDRs. This analysis establishes the non-comparability of measurement of the education achievement by indicators and variables, and shows a case for integration of education goals and targets between global, national and sub-national levels. Policy implications and imperatives from these analyses of the Indian experiences offer lessons for measurement of education achievement in developing countries. [Author abstract]

ISSN: 1059-2033
Abstract: One of the author's frustrations as a mathematics teacher is that when students are not doing problems from a textbook or worksheet, they think they are not doing 'real' maths. Being trained as a mathematics teacher, the author gets the occasional science class and actually enjoys the experience. The reason is that the students seem much more receptive to learning in a variety of ways. Watching videos, working on projects, answering review questions, conducting experiments, discussing concepts and researching in the library or Internet are all considered part of the learning experience. A couple of years ago, the author introduced data logging in his mathematics classes. He still heard the argument that this was not 'real' maths. However students generally accepted it a legitimate activity and actually enjoyed the experience. A lot of the data logging involved collecting data using graphics calculators combined with data loggers and computer software. Although the cables and probes could get cumbersome at times, the students learned a lot from the experience. One of the factors that simplified the data collection process was a program called Logger Pro. This program allows students several easy options to collect, import and analyse their own data: using a graphics calculator; using a computer-based laboratory (CBL2) or Lab Pro; connecting directly to the computer; and, importing video files. The author has had the opportunity to use and preview a lot of different mathematics, science and computer science software. As is obvious from this article, he really likes Logger Pro. It is definitely up there as one of the best, most user-friendly and exciting educational programs that the author has had the pleasure to use. [Author abstract, ed]

Abstract: Value-added corporate and client information has fast become a highly sought-after commodity in sectors that strive to succeed in increasingly competitive markets. Companies and institutions around the globe are finding solutions for their corporate strategies through the extraction of useful knowledge from their data. Data warehousing provides the underlying infrastructure for further application of business tools and techniques such as data mining and knowledge discovery to complete the picture of value-added information. This paper describes how an Australian university embarked on a journey into data warehousing and is now poised at the threshold of exciting possibilities in the world of business intelligence. A minimalist approach coupled with a quick implementation was found to be successful in convincing both management and clients of the tangible benefits of the project. Future plans and recommendations, to extend the basic model to utilise more sophisticated features of the tool, offer enhanced long-term benefits to irresistible to ignore. In view of such enhanced capability and proven benefits, on-going support for development is virtually guaranteed. [Author abstract]

Abstract: This study investigates changes in students' understanding of various aspects of measurement before and after participating in two different introductory laboratory courses at two universities in South Africa. Students' ideas were sought using a probe into their understanding of data collection, data processing and data comparison. The responses were analysed using a model which identified subjects as adhering to either a point or set paradigm. Considerable gains were made during instruction with both groups, though some important differences were identified between them. Neither group could be identified after instruction as full adherents to the set paradigm which was a goal of the instruction. Rather, the majority were found to use ad hoc or rote set action, while using point reasoning. [Author abstract]

Abstract: We are entering the second computer revolution, described by many as the revolution. The Japanese have committed themselves to a program to develop a fifth generation of computers, machines than can understand natural language, diagnose problems, and discover solutions. What are the implications for higher education? This paper argues that the most interesting applications of this new technology are in producing intelligent assistants or powerful tools in the teaching / learning process. It describes in some detail a particular expert system being used in this role, assisting academic staff with the evaluation of student work.
