Making Sense of Evidence in Teaching

Ane Qvortup & Thomas R.S. Albrechtsen

The aim of this article is to call for research that focuses specifically on how
teachers make use of various kinds of evidence or data in their teaching practice.
Although the authors identify with some of the critics of the evidence-based teaching
movement, they argue that, by acknowledging the unique character of the teaching
profession, the discourse on evidence can be fruitfully integrated within the daily
life of schools. In this article, they suggest two broad questions which can help
guide future research into teachers’ use of evidence and data in their professional
practice.
