NSDC - Standards: About the Standards - Data-Driven Helpful data are typically drawn from other sources, including norm-referenced and criterionreferenced tests, grade retention, high school completion, reports of disciplinary actions, school vandalism costs, enrollment in advanced courses, performance tasks, and participation in post-secondary education. Data on individual tests can be analyzed to learn how much students advanced in one year as well as particular strengths and weaknesses associated with the focus of the test. If data are to provide meaningful guidance in the process of continuous improvement, teachers and administrators require professional development regarding data analysis, designing assessment instruments, implementing various forms of assessment, and understanding which assessment to use to provide the desired information. www.nsdc.org /standards/datadriven.cfm   (2222 words)

Electronic School: Data-Driven Success We used the data from the NWEA tests to measure student progress and the effects of changes in the curriculum. The data also allowed us to predict performance on the state tests, to encourage students to do better, and to point out specific areas where they need to work harder. Data are collected and analyzed for the whole district, for specific schools, for different grade levels, and for each student. www.electronic-school.com /2000/03/0300f3.html   (2393 words)

Data-Driven School Improvement : James H. Johnson Data that may be more difficult to collect and interpret objectively include evaluations of student work, such as protfolios and exhibitions. Data can be used to judge people's performance and take punitive action against underachievers, or it can be used to diagnose problems and determine the efficacy of solutions. One recent innovation is their "data in a day" program, wherein advisors, staff, and student volunteers select an area of focus in the morning, collect data, and present findings later the same day. www.ncacasi.org /jsi/2000v1i1/data_driven   (1434 words)

Data-Driven Programming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Data-driven programming is sometimes confused with object orientation, another style in which data organization is supposed to be central. One is that in data-driven programming, the data is not merely the state of some object, but actually defines the control flow of the program. It is in fact possible to express the logic of a state machine as a table or data structure, but hand-coded state machines are usually rigid blocks of code that are far harder to modify than a table. www.faqs.org /docs/artu/ch09s01.html   (2276 words)

Data Driven Tests using WinRunner - Free Training The test script has to be converted into the data driven test by creating a corresponding data table with the sets of data you want to test. Major thing to be considered while dealing with data driver wizard is it does not check for things such as object labels that may also vary based on external input. Thus data driven test can be used when the application has to be tested for a number of input data. www.exforsys.com /content/view/1446/240   (575 words)

American Association of School Administrators - Publications - The School Administrator - Data-Driven Districts Though districts and states generate huge amounts of data, many remain ill equipped to make the most of it, to effectively employ that information in policymaking or in reporting to federal education officials. Often enrollment data can’t be tracked with student achievement data or program participation data, etc. Inadequate funding and technical support for data collection have been challenging. And data from testing companies and states are often not disaggregated to such a level that they can be useful and are not available in a timely fashion.” aasa.org /publications/saarticledetail.cfm?ItemNumber=2777&...   (3933 words)

Data-Driven Decision-Making : May 2003 : THE Journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) Data is something a third party requires you to gather about yourself with the expectation that it will be used to embarrass you down the road. The second and collateral reason for educator resistance is that, with few exceptions, educators see data as a burden, not an asset. With the notable exception of attendance data, which in most districts generates revenue, school data neither simplifies life nor increases a sense of professional efficacy. www.thejournal.com /magazine/vault/A4419.cfm   (542 words)

Data Driven Website Applications The primary advantage of a data driven application is that data can be separated from the display of the information and independently maintained. In some cases the data is uploaded as a file generated by other software programs, examples: PDF file generated via a Word document with the Adobe Acrobat plug-in; or, delimited ASCII files exported from Excel, Access or other programs. It is the first of the widely used open source languages for processing data captured via Web page forms and the first of the server based computer languages routinely used by EPCS. www.e-p-c-s.com /data.php   (1839 words)

DATA DRIVEN AUTOMATION The advantage of the data driven engines for us is they eliminate all the calls to the re-useable procs we used to have in driving scripts. If you do it in a data driven manner, you must develop one test script that is a combination of recording writing and one data file that has one record for each functional variation you want to test. Although you will find people on either side of the fence when it comes to implementing a data driven approach (and no one on the middle of the fence), it appears that those who are the most against it have never successfully implemented this and are going by what others in the field tell them. safsdev.sourceforge.net /DataDrivenCompilation.html   (5145 words)

Data-Driven Decision Making [e-Lead] Data will be collected about their performance whether they like it or not. They then monitor the broadest data themselves and report to the teachers on how they are doing as individuals, how the school is doing as a whole, and where improvement is needed.

Erika Ehrli : Data-driven document generation with Word 2007 and the Office XML File Formats: Part 1 One of the most common requirements for applications that work with data is "data-driven document generation." No matter what the data source is -could be an Access database, SQL database, Web service, SharePoint list, Excel spreadsheet, XML file, Word document, or multiple sources. The application will retrieve customer data from a SQL Server database and use the customer letter document template to build a new document that displays customer data based on a user selection. After you add a data store to your document (and the data store points to a valid XML file), you are ready to map one of its nodes to a content control. blogs.msdn.com /erikaehrli/archive/2006/08/11/word2007DataDocumentGenerationPart1.aspx   (2232 words)

ERIC Digest 109 - Data-Driven School Improvement McLean contends that "implementation of a complete program of data collection and use can lead to the improvement of education as has no other educational innovation of the last century." Fundamental to this effort is equipping teachers and administrators with the skills and inclination to ask, "Is there a better way?" Traditionally, data collected in schools have been used to assess student performance. Data that may be more difficult to collect and interpret objectively include evaluations of student work, such as portfolios and exhibitions. eric.uoregon.edu /publications/digests/digest109.html   (1552 words)

Mature, Portable, Data-Driven Systems This is widely accepted because tokenized data is easier to maintain with database editing utilities in the event that the database becomes corrupted. Since the live application is driven by array objects, the process of running an application is simply a system of loading arrays with meta-data and passing the arrays to the appropriate sub-system for execution. For example, the data is read into an array or a set of local memvars, the GETS and validations are performed on the temporary data, then the changes are written back to the record. www.donnay-software.com /datadr.htm   (10419 words)

DDSteps ("Data Driven Sanity") for JUnit Data driven testing on the other hand separates the testing code from its input. Rather, data is injected into not only the test case, but also any object accessible by getter/setter from your test case. Test data absolutely has to be seperated from your test code, otherwise you are writing legacy tests with a high maintenance overhead. www.theserverside.com /news/thread.tss?thread_id=38951   (6789 words)

Techlearning > > Driven by Data > June 15, 2005 The answer, of course, is d, and although the definition may be cumbersome, the concept of data-driven professional development is both straightforward and sensible. She and her facilitator look at data from standardized tests taken by third- through fifth-graders and perform an item analysis for each content area, grade level, objective, and response. Epiphany's administrators made a deliberate decision to use the data for professional purposes only — to have individual goal-setting conversations, for example — not for evaluations or contracts. www.techlearning.com /story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=163703138   (1413 words)

Agile Development Blog - TargetProcess: Data Driven Development Recently I am frequently hearing the question “What is the Data Driven Development?” Let’s look into the problem with help of example. In this case we have to add only one line of data to the table to make the new type of fish. Most of the same data from the "fish" table will be removed and replaced by one reference to the strategy. www.targetprocess.com /blog/2005/12/data-driven-development.html   (527 words)

Seven Steps to Creating a Data Driven Decision Making Culture. » Occam’s Razor by Avinash Kaushik My hope was to share tips and insights that might help companies move from just having lots and lots of data to creating cultures where decisions are made not on gut-feel, or the proverbial seat of the pants, but rather based on data. The job of a management team that wants to see a data driven culture is to first empower their analysts. However, if the data is correct and the evidence is clear, it should be a confident action and recommendation. www.kaushik.net /avinash/2006/10/seven-steps-to-creating-a-data-driven-decision-making-culture.html   (4645 words)
