Teacher collaboration on the use of pupil learning outcome data: A rich environment for professional learning?

Collaboration on data use is expected to provide valuable opportunities for teachers to learn. Therefore, the goals of this qualitative study are to provide insight both into teachers' learning activities (storytelling, helping, sharing, joint work) with regard to collaborative use of pupil learning outcome data, as well as into teachers' professional learning (new or confirmed ideas, changed ideas of the self, consciousness, intention to change behavioural practice, turn new or confirmed ideas into practice) from these activities. We find that teachers mainly undertake storytelling and helping activities in terms of data use and that professional learning resulting from these activities is limited.
