Coding Code: Qualitative Methods for Investigating Data Science Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Allison S. Theobold; Megan H. Wickstrom; Stacey A. Hancock – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Despite the elevated importance of Data Science in Statistics, there exists limited research investigating how students learn the computing concepts and skills necessary for carrying out data science tasks. Computer Science educators have investigated how students debug their own code and how students reason through foreign code. While these…

Thompson, JaCoya; Arastoopour Irgens, Golnaz – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
Data science is a highly interdisciplinary field that comprises various principles, methodologies, and guidelines for the analysis of data. The creation of appropriate curricula that use computational tools and teaching activities is necessary for building skills and knowledge in data science. However, much of the literature about data science…

Data Analytics and Programming for Linguistics Students: A SWOT and Survey Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dennis Tay – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Data analytics and programming skills are increasingly important in the humanities, especially in disciplines like linguistics due to the rapid growth of natural language processing (NLP) technologies. However, attitudes and perceptions of students as novice learners, and the attendant pedagogical implications, remain underexplored. This article…

Expanding the Scope of Statistical Computing: Training Statisticians to Be Software Engineers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reinhart, Alex; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Traditionally, statistical computing courses have taught the syntax of a particular programming language or specific statistical computation methods. Since Nolan and Temple Lang's seminal paper, we have seen a greater emphasis on data wrangling, reproducible research, and visualization. This shift better prepares students for careers working with…

Donoghue, Thomas; Voytek, Bradley; Ellis, Shannon E. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Nolan and Temple Lang's "Computing in the Statistics Curricula" (2010) advocated for a shift in statistical education to broadly include computing. In the time since, individuals with training in both computing and statistics have become increasingly employable in the burgeoning data science field. In response, universities have…

Tools and Recommendations for Reproducible Teaching
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Dogucu, Mine; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
It is recommended that teacher-scholars of data science adopt reproducible workflows in their research as scholars and teach reproducible workflows to their students. In this article, we propose a third dimension to reproducibility practices and recommend that regardless of whether they teach reproducibility in their courses or not, data science…

Chelsea Nagy; Jennifer Balch – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
Today's data-driven world requires earth and environmental scientists to have skills at the intersection of domain and data science. These skills are imperative to harness information contained in a growing volume of complex data to solve the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Despite the importance of these skills, Earth and…

Burckhardt, Philipp; Nugent, Rebecca; Genovese, Christopher R. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Revisiting the seminal 2010 Nolan and Temple Lang article on the role of computing in the statistics curricula, we discuss several trends that have emerged over the last ten years. The rise of data science has coincided with a broadening audience for learning statistics and using computational packages and tools. It has also increased the need for…
