Advancement in information technology has given a tremendous change in the education system. The traditional classroom education system is slowly getting transferred to the modernized system. In this conversion, the students choose to select the courses to learn in their higher education. The selection will aid the student in learning advanced technologies through theoretical and practical methods. In this research work, a data-driven educational decision-making system with the support of a course curriculum is analyzed with student’s response after the course. The educational decision-making is implemented with the help of the mobile learning technology designed and maintained by the colleges and universities. For performing the analysis, the student response dataset is given as input to the fuzzy logic system to perform the analysis. The research shows that mobile learning technology with the fuzzy logic system has provided better decision-making analysis to curriculum optimization for the student and teachers.

Educational Decision Making

Research indicates that youth, especially those facing injustice, such as youth of Color in urban settings, are essential participants in educational decision-making. However, due to adultism and intersecting forms of oppression, their inclusion is not the norm. Grounded in the concept of adultism and the tradition of storytelling, we address the following question: How can educational researchers and practitioners challenge the adultism that constrains youth’s participation in school- and district-level educational decision-making? We share stories about our experiences in urban schools, considering adultism at the interactional, institutional, and curricular levels. Our implications center on using critical reflexivity to challenge adultism.

Activist Organizations

We contribute to the teacher activism literature an understanding of how activist organizations support professionalization processes. We examine how teachers’ involvement in a local activist organization counteracts the de-professionalizing reforms of the standards and accountability movement and fosters the professionalization of teaching. Our findings suggest that the structures of the activist organization provide opportunities for teachers to create and maintain collective knowledge for curricula and practice, sustain their professional commitments to social justice, and build confidence that promotes voice in educational decision-making. We discuss implications for teacher professionalization and identify the need for future studies on the role of teacher activist organizations on teachers, teaching, and the profession.
