摘要

The purpose of this study is to examine how the use of data drives academic planning in rural Missouri schools by exploring and comparing the processes in two Missouri school districts. Previous research has identified the importance of this process in larger schools (Blink, 2005), as well as the need for examining, evaluating, and revising this process in all school districts that purport seeking to become true learning organizations (Jones, 2006; Learning Point, 2004; McIntire, 2002; Senge, et al., 2000).;The following research questions were developed to guide the research. (1) In what ways do districts use data to inform decisions around curriculum and instruction for student learning? (2) What factors impede developing and implementing curriculum and instruction for student learning? (3) What factors facilitate developing and implementing curriculum and instruction for student learning?;The comparative case study design was chosen so that information could be gathered in multiple research settings and compared for possible similarities, thus giving the researcher a better opportunity to identify significant characteristics and behaviors. The targeting of qualitative data being gathered allows for an increased flexibility of data acquisition leading to the identification of factors affecting the research questions (Cresswell, 1994). Comparative descriptive studies are better suited to provide the structure of such inquiry and to achieve the research goals of understanding how participants perceive the use of data and apply their interpretation to decision-making (Lauer, 2006).;As all data were subjected to axial and open coding, five distinct themes became apparent. Although some interview responses and observations provided data that fell across more than one of these main themes, all data still fell in this framework. These themes were as follows: Resources, Curriculum Development, Assessment, External Requirements, and Leadership.;Lack of adequate training was identified as an impediment to decision making, along with the shortage of time and funding. Teacher turnover in District ;Conclusions include (1) both districts actually exceed the federal and state mandates for the administration and analysis of standardized assessment instruments, (2) results of this data collection and analysis are communicated to the public and their representatives, (3) curriculum and instruction are revised per this process of analysis and communication, (4) three most prevalent impediments to developing and implementing curriculum and instruction for student learning all deal with resource allocation, and addressing these deficient allocations of resources has a positive effect on academic performance.

(2)哪些因素阻碍了学生学习课程和教学的制定和实施? (3)哪些因素有助于开发和实施用于学生学习的课程和教学?;选择了比较案例研究设计,以便可以在多个研究环境中收集信息并比较可能的相似性,从而为研究人员提供更好的机会来识别重要的特征和行为。以收集定性数据为目标可以提高数据采集的灵活性,从而确定影响研究问题的因素(Cresswell,1994)。比较描述性研究更适合于提供此类查询的结构,并达到了解参与者如何理解数据使用并将其解释应用于决策的研究目标(Lauer,2006年)。和开放式编码,五个不同的主题变得显而易见。尽管一些访谈答复和观察提供的数据涉及多个主要主题,但所有数据仍属于该框架。这些主题如下:资源,课程开发,评估,外部要求和领导力。;缺乏足够的培训被认为是决策的障碍,时间和资金也不足。地区的教师流动率;结论包括(1)两个地区实际上超出了联邦和州的标准评估工具的管理和分析要求,(2)数据收集和分析的结果已传达给公众及其代表,(3 )课程和教学在此分析和沟通过程中进行了修订,(4)开发和实施用于学生学习的课程和教学的三个最普遍的障碍都涉及资源分配,解决这些资源分配不足的问题对学术产生积极影响性能。
