The collaboration will use anonymised requisition data from
LabLogger to build a picture of school science practical work. Participation is
entirely voluntary (opt-in), and no personal data is shared in
the process.
Real-time anonymised requisition data has the exciting potential
to provide unique insights into what practical activities are actually taking
place in schools across the UK. The data will also allow CLEAPSS to track
data over time to build a more accurate picture of trends and providing answers
to questions about the perceived decline in practical work.
CLEAPSS also plans to use the findings internally to identify
areas of practical work where it can offer more tailored support as well to
support CLEAPSS’ research and advocacy work to strengthen the place of
practical activities in science education.
So, we need your help!
If you would like your school to participate in this exciting
project and help us achieve these ambitious goals, all UK-based schools that
use LabLogger can now activate the new ‘Share our anonymised Request
History data with CLEAPSS’ setting on their Account Settings page.
More information on the new setting, as well as a short Q&A,
is available by clicking on the information-icon on the top-right
of the ‘Account Modifiers’ section of the Account Settings page
on LabLogger.
