Data-Informed Educational Decision Making to Improve Teaching and Learning Outcomes of EFL

Abstract

For many justifications, the collection, analysis, and use of educational data are central to the evaluation and improvement of students’ progress and learning outcomes. The use of data in educational evaluation and decision making are expected to span all layers—from the institution, teachers, students, and classroom levels, providing a longitudinal record of each student’s performance over time. Such records/data can play a crucial role by giving students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders a scalable and efficient platform that track performance and lead to informed valid enhancement decisions. This paper provides a description of a proposed tracking system. Developed by an English Language institute. It has multiple key features and processes that can monitor the progress of students from day 1 till completing their study. It is a comprehensive integration of student data management and a monitoring system. Such data makes it possible to see if students are achieving their academic goals and administrator could see, as soon as possible, if a student is not progressing. The system is also useful in helping the institute to plan their educational activities every semester and improve data communication between administrator, teachers, and students.

Optimizing Online Teaching: Total Quality Management in Action for Quality Assurance Measures

By providing educators, parents, students, and other stakeholders with a scalable and effective platform to track performance and make well-informed, valid enhancement decisions, these records and data can play a critical role (Aburizaizah, 2021). STD 8 (Effective Media Arrangement) was also satisfactory with comparatively lower score, which means that teachers are basically able to arrange media and content to help students and teachers transfer knowledge effectively in the online environment in this high institution.…”
