Abstract

We report challenges associated with the adoption and (mis)use of a teacherfacing learning analytics dashboard (LAD) created for data-informed decision-making in primary school literacy education. We developed a LAD to facilitate teachers’ planning of game-based literacy learning activities, identification of children requiring additional support, and self-evaluation of teaching practices. Two teachers had access to the LAD over three months. However, it was not used as expected. One teacher did not access the LAD, whilst the other attempted to use the LAD for summative assessment purposes, rather than formatively, which raised issues for the interpretation of data. This paper makes a unique contribution to the LA community by reflecting on the implications of the challenges we faced in terms of the LAD’s failed adoption and misuse for future LAD design and implementation in the classroom.
