"עבודה של מורה היא 100% קבלת החלטות": קבלת החלטות של מורים על בסיס נתונים בהוראה בחירום

Decision making is essential for teaching, and informed decisions are the ones that promote teaching and learning most effectively. Using quantitative (N=302)and qualitative (N=20) methodologies, we explored the data-driven decision-making processes before and during COVID-19 in Israel. We examined what data teachers use to make decisions and what data they would like to receive for improving their decision-making. Overall, teachers make data-driven decisions on routine days and see this as an integral part of their role; during the COVID-19pandemic, we found a decline in data use, regardless of teachers' age or teaching experience. School climate, peer consultation, and parental involvement are all factors affecting teachers' decision making. Notably, teachers sought as much information as possible about their students' academic progress, social-emotional state, and family situation, especially in times of emergency remote teaching.
