Navigating the use of data through management information systems in secondary schools in England: a case study approach.

Although most secondary schools have at least one management information system (MIS) that may be used to support data-informed decision-making and aid school improvement, there are relatively few studies on the use of these systems in schools and how they can support educators in achieving school improvement. Furthermore, no studies have explored how the updated DeLone and McLean Information System Success Model (2003) may be used to help explore and explain how management information systems are used in schools and the impacts of their use in schools. The purpose of this research was to explore how management information systems are currently used in secondary schools and to devise tailored training programmes to improve their use by different members of school staff.
