Data Science Education: Re-Envisioning for 21st Century Teaching, Learning, and Research

Wed, April 8, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 515B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

Data science education (DSE)—as a distinctly transdisciplinary subject—expands engagement possibilities in K-12 because learners construct ideas directly from data through epistemic acts that are inextricably tied to the social and cultural contexts from which they are derived. Some constructionists attribute this to data’s underlying material nature and its cultural embeddedness, both which inform how data is generated, shaped, and represented. In the learning sciences, this makes data—and the science of harnessing it—powerful “objects to think with.” These inroads raise critical policy, practice, and research questions about how DSE is defined, who is eligible to participate, and how participation is organized. This session engages here to re-envision learning within a DSE framework where intellectual inclusivity accompanies community-driven innovation by design.
