Data in the Practice Series
Through a series of blog posts we dive into how data relate to each of our Science & Engineering Practices and our math skills. Working with data is more than just “Analyzing and Interpreting Data” or “Measurement & Data”. So, how can we support our students getting the full sense of what is involved in working with data…or being data literate? Integrate data into all that we are doing!
Through a series of posts we will explore different aspects of highlighting how data are in the practices. Let us know what you think and/or what other great resources you have to share with others!
DATA + QUESTIONS/PROBLEMS
There are many ways that we discuss the critical thinking work that goes into working through something across our different disciplines. While the exact products or steps we are taking vary, the thinking required is similarly grounded in what are we trying to do and what should we do next.
Questions and problems interface with data in numerous ways. While we certainly ask many questions and solve problems that do not involve data, when we are working with data asking questions and making sense of problems are important aspects of the work.
