The critical data studies objective to expose the fallacy that 'data can speak for themselves' seems relevant here #cidedata

[LLacc @Wa08847510]

Williamson (2017) describes the silicon-valley ideal, positive-feedback loop of better data driving better education driving better data driving better etc - the question remains: education to what end? #cidedata

The closing sentence of Knox Williamson& Bayne (2020) brings us back to that recurrent theme of tech making emancipatory promises but in fact reinforcing/replicating existing power structures #cidedata

Oversimplistic observation based on Knox Williamson & Bayne (2020): mutually-complementary blind spots of how learnification and datafication conceptualise the learner (the former downplays irrationality and affect; the latter downplays intent and conscious engagement) #cidedata

@j_k_knox 'what people actually do' doesn't necessarily tell us much about why they do it - Eynon discusses *meanings* of behaviours/patterns - qualitative insights tell us things that quantitative insights can't/won't #cidedata

@SarahEdEd @j_k_knox @triciawang Great example with Nokia - their retro-facing data set was oblivious to the change that was coming.... #cidedata

[LLacc @Wa08847510]

@j_k_knox Tech-utopianism and the discourse of austerity politics bleeds in here - 'we' (whoever that is) are not getting 'value for money' (whatever that means). Of course, this elides the inherent(?) messiness of education and assumes there's a quick fix available #cidedata

@conceptsbot Does my cat count as a boy for the purposes of this? If so, job done
