- Title
Data literacy 101: What do we really mean by "data"?
- Authors
HUNTER-THOMSON, KRISTIN
- Abstract
However, sometimes the variety of data we use can make it challenging for us to talk to one another about integrating data into our teaching because we are using the same word, data, but referring to different things. Students begin to learn the difference between qualitative and quantitative data in grades K-2, according to the Next Generation Science Standards science and engineering practices (NGSS Lead States 2013). Therefore, students do not necessarily need to be able to identify whether the data are nominal, ordinal, or interval-ratio, but they should develop the conceptual knowledge that we graph different data differently (Hunter-Thomson 2019). There are two main components to using data in science and science education: (1) the purposes of using data and (2) the levels of realism of the data values.
