Data-Intensive Improvement: The Intersection of Data Science and Improvement Science

Alternate name

Chapter 20

Abstract/Description

While new possibilities to examine educational processes have evolved around ever-increasing volumes of data, our goal in this chapter is to describe the role of data-intensive approaches within the specific context of improvement research in education. We use the label data-intensive as a stand-in for the previously mentioned fields of educational research that make regular use of data from digital platforms and environments (National Science Foundation, 2015). The specific combinations of improvement and data-intensive research that we highlight in this chapter share a common structure of using large, complex data sets to generate insights and interventions that are employed in efforts to improve learning environments.
