SUMMARY
Encouraging the use of data among teachers requires explicit directive action. Achieving this can have a significant impact on school improvement. Empirical studies, which both authors have directed in their respective countries, allow them to affirm from the evidence that, beyond the marked differences between both educational systems, there is a set of directive practices that favor a use of data that contributes to improvement. Among them, the managers give meaning and projection to the use of data by teachers, creating the organizational conditions so that the use of generated information can be a systematic practice within each institution center. For this, the authors also highlight the importance of the directive function in terms of intellectual stimulation around the use of data with teachers in the school.ResumoIncentivar o uso de dados entre professores requer uma ação diretiva explícita. Conseguir isso pode ter um impacto significativo na melhora da escola. Os estudos empíricos que ambos os autores dirigiram em seus respectivos países permitem afirmar que, além das diferenças marcantes entre os dois sistemas educacionais, há um conjunto de práticas diretivas que favorecem o uso de dados que contribuem para a melhora. Entre eles, os gestores dão sentido e projeção ao uso de dados pelos professores, criando as condições organizacionais para que o uso da informação gerada seja uma prática sistemática dentro de cada instituição. Para isso, os autores também destacam a importância da função do gestor em relação a estimular o uso de dados entre os professores na escola.ResumenIncentivar el uso de datos entre los docentes requiere de una acción directiva explícita.
