Abstract
In recent decades distinctive forms of visual representations of classrooms have received significant attention. Large international bodies of classroom data are being assembled and rely heavily on videoing classroom action, particularly teacher pedagogy (Stigler et al. 1999; Luke et al. 2005; Clarke 2009). These images are being used to inform educational research. In the public sphere ‘numerical images’ are receiving greater attention. In the globalised phenomenon of education, pedagogical data is largely rendered through numerical representations (Bloom 2006) and usually these are not read as being images or image based. These public portrayals of pedagogy typically employ hard data of student learning outcomes produced in and about schools (OECD 2014; My School® 2015). These demographic statistics and national testing results can be read as ‘numerical pedagogical’ images.
