Neugebauer, Sabina Rak; Morrison, Diane; Karahalios, Vicky; Harper, Evan; Jones, Haley; Lenihan, Shauna; Oosterbaan, Fenner; Tindall, Carly – Action in Teacher Education, 2021
Current teacher preparation programs have received scrutiny for failing to sufficiently support teachers in valuing and developing their knowledge of data literacy. The current study explores a collaborative approach to increasing pre-service teachers' experiences with data literacy by including under-utilized data experts: school psychologists.…

Rosenberg, Joshua M. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Data-rich activities provide an opportunity to develop core competencies in both science and mathematics identified in curricular standards. Perhaps even more importantly work with data puts learners in the position to use data to ask and answer questions, a potentially empowering capability. Research on work with data has focused on cognitive…

Ruediger, Dylan; Cooper, Danielle Miriam – ITHAKA S+R, 2022
Quantitative literacy is an essential twenty-first century skill that universities are heavily invested in teaching to students. The social sciences play an important role in these efforts because they attract students who might otherwise avoid data and mathematically oriented courses and because they ground quantitative reasoning in political and…

Rees Lewis, Daniel G.; Easterday, Matthew W.; Harburg, Emily; Gerber, Elizabeth M.; Riesbeck, Christopher K. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
To provide the substantial support required for project-based learning (PBL), educators can incorporate professional experts as "design coaches." However, previous work shows barriers incorporating design coaches who can rarely meet face-to-face: (1) communication online is time-consuming, (2) updating coaches online is not perceived as…

Finzer, William; Busey, Amy; Kochevar, Randy – Science Teacher, 2018
Data-driven inquiry as a science practice and instructional approach can provide a powerful context for project-based learning (PBL). Students engage in data-driven inquiry when they explore a rich data set and observe patterns, ask questions suggested by the data, and pursue answers about underlying phenomena. Krajcik (2015) describes five…

Bicak, Ali; Liu, Michelle; Murphy, Diane – Information Systems Education Journal, 2015
The cybersecurity curriculum has grown dramatically over the past decade: once it was just a couple of courses in a computer science graduate program. Today cybersecurity is introduced at the high school level, incorporated into undergraduate computer science and information systems programs, and has resulted in a variety of cybersecurity-specific…

Boose, David L. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2014
Quantitative reasoning is a key intellectual skill, applicable across disciplines and best taught in the context of authentic, relevant problems. Here, I describe and assess a laboratory exercise that has students calculate their "carbon footprint" and evaluate the impacts of various behavior choices on that footprint. Students gather…

Brophy, Caroline; Hahn, Lukas – Journal of Statistics Education, 2014
In this paper, we describe an in-class experiment that is easy to implement with large groups of students. The experiment takes approximately 15-20 minutes to run and involves each student completing one of four types of Sudoku puzzles and recording the time it takes to completion. The resulting data set can be used as a teaching tool at an…

White, Joshua S.; Maskiewicz, April C. – American Biology Teacher, 2014
Using a design-based research approach, we developed a data-rich problem (DRP) set to improve student understanding of cellular respiration at the ecosystem level. The problem tasks engage students in data analysis to develop biological explanations. Several of the tasks and their implementation are described. Quantitative results suggest that…
