Identifying and Addressing Learning Gaps
Learning gaps are discrepancies between a student’s current understanding and the expected proficiency level in a particular subject area. Data analytics enables educators to pinpoint these gaps objectively and implement targeted interventions to bridge them, promoting individual growth and merit-based progression.
By analyzing quiz results, a teacher identifies that several students struggle with quadratic equations. She organizes a focused review session and provides supplemental resources, leading to improved performance on subsequent assessments and demonstrable mastery of the concept.
Addressing learning gaps contributes to improving overall student outcomes, which is the ultimate goal of educational efforts within a merit-based framework.
