The Datafication of Primary and Early Years Education explores and
critically analyses the growing dominance of data in schools and
early childhood education settings. Recognising the shift in
practice and priorities towards the production and analysis of
attainment data that are compared locally, nationally and
internationally, this important book explores the role and impact
of digital data in the 'data-obsessed' school. Through insightful
case studies the book critiques policy priorities which facilitate
and demand the use of attainment data, within a neoliberal
education system which is already heavily focused on assessment and
accountability. Using an approach influenced by policy sociology
and post-foundational frameworks, the book considers how data are
productive of data-driven teacher and child subjectivities. The
text explores how data have become an important part of making
teachers' work visible within systems which are both disciplinary
and controlling, while often reducing the complexity of children's
learning to single numbers. Key ideas covered include: The impact
of data on the individual teacher and their pedagogical practice,
particularly in play-based early years classrooms The problems of
collecting data through assessment of young children How schools
respond to increased pressure to produce the 'right' data - or how
they 'play with numbers' How data affect children and teachers'
identities International governance and data comparison, including
international comparison of young children's attainment Private
sector involvement in data processing and analysis The Datafication
of Primary and Early Years Education offers a unique insight into
the links between data, policy and practice and is a crucial read
for all interested in the ways in which data are affecting
teachers, practitioners and children.
