CASE STUDY: Beyond the Score
Leveraging Process Data to Understand Student Learning Behaviours
In the evolving landscape of education analytics, the data behind the answers can be as valuable as the answers themselves. EQAO is innovating beyond traditional assessment metrics by capturing and analyzing process data — such as time spent on questions, sequence of responses, and interaction patterns — to uncover richer insights into student learning. These profiles are not only reshaping how educators understand performance but also how they tailor instruction to individual needs. Walk away with strategies to:
- Integrate process data collection into your analytics strategy
- Use data to identify and support different learning and decision making strategies in your organization
- Enable more personalized, equitable, and effective decision support interventions
