Student Thinking, Learning, and Inquiry With the Common Online Data Analysis Platform
Sat, April 9, 8:15 to 9:45am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Independence Salon ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The level of data literacy required by our society has risen dramatically in the last 20 years. No significant problems facing us today—income inequality, climate change, terrorism, and spread of infectious disease, to name a few—can be found without people who can interpret and reason about data. The goal of the NSF-funded CODAP (Common Online Data Analysis Platform) project is to address the critical need for data literacy by developing and making widely available a free, online data analysis environment. This symposium includes presentations by curriculum developers and researchers analyzing student interactions with CODAP in classroom pilot tests, and cognitive interviews investigating basic questions about how design features influence learners’ perceptions and interactions with tabular and graphic representations of data.
