Quality Assurance of Teaching Data

The value of using open science approaches in operational data

Education institutions collect operational data at a phenomenal rate. While researchers are becoming more and more concerned by ensuring we take a responsible, ethical and repeatable approach to data analysis for research, often the same cannot be said for operational data. At R(D)SVS we have instituted a QA Data Officer role to support educators to make the best use of teaching data

It is becoming easier and easier for education organisations to collect vast amounts of teaching-related data. My interest in research methodology has meant that I have been increasingly involved in exploring how my institution collects, utilises and analyses operational data. I have provided large-scale analysis and reporting on externally provided data such as the National Student Survey and commentary on the methods used in operational data reporting.

I am convinced that, as with research conducting, analysis and reporting, we must reckon with our processes in operational data. I now have the responsibility of being the R(D)SVS QA Data Officer, and as part of that, I am involved with our student data across the campus.
