Project outcomes
The EVIDALI project aims to strengthen the meaningful use of data in education by addressing both policy-level strategies and school-level practices. Its main outcomes can be summarised in four key areas:
-
Increased capacity among policy makers to design evidence-informed data literacy strategies tailored to teaching and learning in schools.
-
A sustainable, multistakeholder European learning community focused on data literacy in education, fostering collaboration between policy, research, and practice.
-
Improved understanding of how data is currently used in schools and what is needed to support teachers and school leaders in becoming data-literate practitioners.
-
A set of validated good practices and practical tools for schools, alongside policy recommendations that support system-wide implementation of effective data strategies.
Project Outputs
The outcomes of EVIDALI will be realised through a series of research activities, collaborative labs, fieldwork, and teacher engagement. The final outputs will be openly available in English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, and include:
Mapping Report
A comparative overview of existing national data literacy policies, school strategies, and support systems across EU Member States. This report will provide the foundation for policy analysis and dialogue.
Teacher Data Literacy Uses and Needs Report
A report analysing teachers’ current data literacy uses and needs. based on the survey results on the use of data at schools.
Validated Good Practices
Through workshops with advanced teachers and trainers, ten good practices will be documented, peer-reviewed, and validated. These will illustrate how data can support learning, feedback, assessment, and school development. A set of five case studies on the implementation of data literacy emerging from national strategies in selected schools. A focused literature review on data literacy practices.
Policy Briefs and Recommendations
Co-created through a series of Policy Learning Labs, these outputs will provide practical guidance and policy options to strengthen national and regional data literacy strategies.
MOOC on Data Literacy for Teaching
A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on Data Literacy for Teaching (DLFT) hosted by European Schoolnet Academy, based
on the validated good practices. It will be launched in 2026 and
accompanied by a resource pack, making it reusable by other training
organisations.
The MOOC resource pack will include full course content, videos, learning activities, and case materials, enabling wider adaptation and reuse beyond the MOOC.
