Abstract

The debates on data use in the professional communities of Denmark are marked by skepticism concerning the validity and usability of national testing for local instructional and developmental purposes (Bundsgaard and Puck 2016). These attitudes mark the controversies associated with the use of standardized testing in Danish schools in comparison with the use of a wider variety of tests and other types of data. We take these as examples of a broader, ongoing debate on accountability policies and practices in Denmark.
