Whilst there is plenty of debate on the nature and role of data in social science research, data in schools tend to be understood in terms of numbers and used in limited ways linked primarily to attainment. The ‘datafication’ of schooling has been strongly critiqued for its powerful impacts on policy and practice, pupils’ experience, the curriculum, teaching and learning, and —as is particularly relevant to this article—teachers’ professional and personal lives. There is a need therefore to expand what counts as data in schools, to think creatively about how data are communicated, and to consider what data do when inserted differently into professional dialogue. In exploring such possibilities and speaking to the field of critical data studies, this article reports on a project that set out to ‘do data differently’ by inviting teachers to create, visualise and share their own data on what mattered to them in their everyday literacy teaching using a postcard format. Characteristics of teachers’ response to this project are explored, linked to: impressionism, imperfection and subjectivity in data collection; complexity and opacity of visualisation; and professional discussion as drift. Rooted in a sociomaterial perspective and drawing on Latour’s ideas about immutable mobiles, it is argued that shifting the focus, visualisation and sharing of data can have ‘complicating effects’ which—through foregrounding the instability and partiality of data—can produce generative spaces for teachers’ professional dialogue.

破坏数据稳定:使用创意数据可视化生成专业对话

尽管有关数据在社会科学研究中的性质和作用的争论很多,但学校中的数据往往以数字的形式理解,并以与成就相关的有限方式加以使用。人们强烈批评学校的“数据化”,因为它对政策和实践,学生的经历,课程,教学和学习,以及(尤其是与本文特别相关的)教师的职业和个人生活产生了巨大影响。因此,有必要扩大学校中算作数据的范围,创造性地考虑数据的通信方式,并考虑将数据不同地插入专业对话中时数据的作用。在探索这种可能性并与关键数据研究领域进行交流时,本文报道了一个项目,该项目旨在通过邀请教师创建,“以不同方式处理数据”,使用明信片格式可视化并分享他们自己在日常识字教学中对他们重要的数据。探索教师对这个项目的反应的特征,这些特征与以下方面有关:数据收集中的印象派,不完美和主观性;可视化的复杂性和不透明性;和专业讨论一样漂泊。有人从社会材料的角度出发,并借鉴了拉图尔(Latour)关于不可变移动设备的想法,认为转移焦点,可视化和共享数据可能会产生“复杂的影响”,而这种影响是通过关注数据的不稳定性和局部性,可以为教师创造生成空间的。专业对话。探索教师对这个项目的反应的特征,这些特征与以下方面有关:数据收集中的印象派,不完美和主观性;可视化的复杂性和不透明性;和专业讨论一样漂泊。有人从社会材料的角度出发,并借鉴了拉图尔(Latour)关于不可变移动设备的想法,认为转移焦点,可视化和共享数据可能会产生“复杂的影响”,而这种影响是通过关注数据的不稳定性和局部性,可以为教师创造生成空间的。专业对话。探索教师对这个项目的反应的特征,这些特征与以下方面有关:数据收集中的印象派,不完美和主观性;可视化的复杂性和不透明性;和专业讨论一样漂泊。有人从社会材料的角度出发,并借鉴了拉图尔(Latour)关于不可变移动设备的想法,认为转移焦点,可视化和共享数据可能会产生“复杂的影响”,而这种影响是通过关注数据的不稳定性和局部性,可以为教师创造生成空间的。专业对话。
