Data SGP merupakan kumpulan angka pemenang 4D Singapore Pools periode lalu yang disajikan dibentuk dalam bentuk tabel. Tabel ini berisi angka pemenang 4D SGP pada tahun yang sebelumnya dan jumlah angka pemenang keluar pada tahun yang akhirnya. Educators can use SGP data to see the average score for their class or school and to determine how many students fell above and below the curve. In addition, teachers can view individual student data which provides insights into how their students are doing and may highlight areas for improvement.
This information can be used to identify struggling students, differentiate instruction for high-performing students, and track student growth over time. It can also be used to inform educator evaluations and support broader research initiatives. Data SGP is available to educators and parents for free and requires minimal computer programming skills to access.
In contrast to ‘big data’ which is commonly associated with analyses of the internet or global Facebook interactions, data SGP is small in scale requiring only modest improvements to existing analytical tools. Nonetheless, the bulk of the work for conducting a SGP analysis is spent on data preparation and the resulting analyses tend to be simple despite their complex mathematical models.
The first step is to acquire a data set with the necessary longitudinal (time dependent) student assessment data. This data is generally available in either WIDE or LONG format. WIDE format data is arranged in rows with each case/row representing a single student while columns represent variables associated with that student at different times. LONG format data is arranged in a relational database where each row represents one student with the columns containing the values for the variables that correspond to specific points in time.
Once the data has been obtained it is necessary to run a series of SGP calculations. These calculations compare the current test scores of a student against their own previous performance and those of academically-similar students. The resulting report indicates how well the student is doing, where they are falling short of their goals and how much they need to improve. The report can also be used to generate a list of potential improvement plans.
The final step in a data SGP calculation is to produce a growth percentage which is the rate of student progress in relation to their peers. This statistic is calculated for each individual student based on their test history which includes up to five previous assessments. Growth percentages are more accurate than traditional metrics like mean, median or mode and provide insight into how well a student is doing compared to their peers, how they are improving and whether their progress is likely to continue. Teachers can then use this information to help their students. For example, they can develop intervention plans for students that are below expectations. This allows them to get back on track and improve their scores. For other students, educators can focus on boosting their performance by identifying skills that need further development.
