Design and Evaluation of an Open Educational Data Visualization System
Open Data; Data Visualization; Dashboards
The Institute of Studies and Research in Education - INEP, an agency linked to the Ministry of Education and Culture, makes available a large volume of educational data open every year, data from various segments from basic education to higher education. FERREIRA et al., (2021) the authors highlight the Brazilian scenario regarding research with open educational data, they analyzed academic works between the years 2010 to 2021, it is possible to obtain very important information with this work, such as the need to invest more in the area, creating, for example, tools for visualizing information for basic education. The vast majority of researches did not propose the creation of solutions, for visualization and extraction of such data, it is true that in the last three years there has been a growth of works with this theme compared to previous years, but it is necessary to advance further, with this advancement it is possible to generate new discussions to improve the processes that govern Brazilian education, such as the definition of new public policies for changes according to Brazilian geographic areas. This range of data made available by the Brazilian government is of fundamental importance for the creation of solutions for information visualization and interpretation of this data, there is a very expressive lack regarding basic education, with the use of open educational data. This project aims to create a Dashboard to visualize information with open data from the National High School Exam - ENEM, applied in a State Technical School in the interior of Pernambuco, with the purpose of generating reflection and perception about its school planning, in the face of the The exposed was thought of the following question to guide this work: can the use of visualization systems for the analysis of open ENEM data in High School contribute to reflections, improving teacher planning and influencing new decision-making? To answer the guiding question, we adopted the DSRM methodology (Design Science Research Methodology), to build the Dashboard, which provides for the participation of teachers in most stages of this process, from the phase of capturing ideas to the validation of the application. Finally, we believe that investing in information visualization systems with open educational data in basic education can generate new decision-making within various aspects of the school context, for example, school planning, among others.
