COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this course, "Defining the Best Education: Metrics, Comparative Analysis, and Insights", is to provide participants with a clear understanding of how to assess and define the best educational systems using data-driven metrics and comparative analysis. By the end of this course, participants will gain the tools and knowledge necessary to critically evaluate educational frameworks and identify key indicators that contribute to their success.

This course will cover various metrics, including academic performance, access to resources, teacher quality, and student outcomes. Participants will learn how to compare these metrics across different educational systems, with a focus on international case studies and the Happy City Index project, which uses data to shape urban policies and enhance quality of life.

Leveraging my experience in data analysis, I will guide participants in understanding data integrity, sourcing, and how to interpret complex educational data for actionable insights. Participants will learn how to use these insights to propose data-backed strategies aimed at improving educational policies and practices in their cities or countries.

This course is designed for policymakers, educators, and data analysts who are interested in using data to improve educational systems. Whether participants aim to enhance the educational offerings in their own cities or contribute to global educational research, this course will provide them with the analytical tools and insights needed to achieve their goals.

Module: Workshops in groups
An online course is an excellent opportunity to broaden your knowledge. However, we recognise that a significant value of courses lies in the exchange of experiences among participants. This requires a certain level of openness and willingness to collaborate, which can sometimes only be fully unlocked through face-to-face interaction and the use of appropriate workshop solutions. That is why the programme for in-person courses includes 'Workshops in groups using real documents and a selected workshop format,' lasting approximately 90 minutes. These workshops are conducted during the second part of the course.

COURSE METHOLODOGY:
The course will be delivered entirely online, using a combination of theoretical content and practical exercises to engage participants and ensure effective learning. The methodology will focus on a blended learning approach, integrating lectures, case studies, and interactive activities.

Theoretical Content: Each session will begin with a structured lecture to introduce key concepts, frameworks, and metrics related to education. This will provide participants with a solid foundation in the subject matter.

Interactive Discussions: Following the lectures, participants will engage in discussions to explore real-world applications of the topics covered. These discussions will be moderated in real-time, allowing for dynamic interaction between participants.

Practical Exercises: A key feature of the course will be the hands-on exercises, where participants will analyze educational data using online tools. This will enable them to apply the theoretical concepts learned in a practical context.

Case Studies: Throughout the course, case studies from various countries and educational systems will be presented. Participants will analyze these case studies, comparing data and identifying trends, strengths, and weaknesses.

Feedback and Reflection: At the end of each session, participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions, reflect on the content, and receive feedback. This ensures that the learning process is continuous and that participants have the opportunity to clarify any doubts.

The course will be designed to encourage active participation, critical thinking, and the development of practical skills necessary for analyzing educational data.

COURSE SUMMARY:
This course will be delivered entirely online, focusing on educational data analysis, various educational metrics, and how to use these data to improve the quality of education. Participants will become familiar with key concepts such as evaluating academic performance, teacher quality, and student outcomes. The course will also delve into comparative analysis of different educational systems, using global data to gain a better understanding of these systems.

Each session will begin with an introduction to theoretical content and key concepts, and participants will analyze and evaluate educational systems using data. Case studies from various countries will be presented to compare and identify the strengths and weaknesses of different educational systems.

The objective of this course is to enhance participants' skills in analyzing educational data, foster critical thinking, and develop a deeper understanding of how to measure and assess educational quality. Upon completing the course, participants will be able to conduct more accurate educational analyses and use data to provide policy recommendations and improve educational systems.
