ABSTRACT

Data capture technologies are increasingly incorporated into teaching and learning settings in an effort to offer personalized learning opportunities. Despite the general enthusiasm for these initiatives, concerns persist as to the effective and ethical collection and use of that data. In response, this article offers a complimentary account of teaching and learning with data through the use of ethnographic methods in a novel setting – a Golf Teaching and Research Program (GTRP) – at a large U.S. university. This research illustrates how golf coaches and students leverage their bodies to create embodied re-creations of data. The analysis shows how the GTRP instructors use their bodies in-the-moment during pedagogical encounters to help students understand and feel their golf swing data. This article concludes by suggesting that these collaborative in-the-moment embodied encounters with data offer opportunities for teachers and learners to collectively analyze and interrogate their data through the process of data stewardship.

摘要

为了提供个性化的学习机会，数据采集技术越来越多地融入教学和学习环境。尽管对这些举措普遍充满热情，但对有效和合乎道德地收集和使用这些数据的担忧仍然存在。作为回应，本文通过在美国一所大型大学的新环境——高尔夫教学和研究计划 (GTRP) 中使用人种学方法，对数据进行教学和学习的补充说明。这项研究说明了高尔夫教练和学生如何利用他们的身体来创建具体的数据再创造。该分析显示了 GTRP 教练如何在教学过程中使用他们的身体来帮助学生理解和感受他们的高尔夫挥杆数据。
