abstract |
Society has become increasingly reliant on data, making it necessary to ensure that
all citizens are equipped with the skills needed to be data literate. We argue that
the foundations for a data literate society begin by acquiring key data literacy competences
in school. However, as yet there is no clear definition of what these should be. This
paper explores the different perspectives currently offered on both data and statistical
literacy and then critically examines to what extent these address the data literacy
needs of citizens in today’s society. We survey existing approaches to teaching data
literacy in schools, to identify how data literacy is interpreted in practice. Based
on these analyses, we propose a definition of data literacy that is focused on employing
an inquiry-based approach to using data to understand real world phenomena. The contribution
of this paper is the creation of a common foundation for teaching and learning data
literacy skills. |
