Here Comes Another Trend in K-12 Science Education: Data Science

Chillax Science

Traditional Teaching Traditional teaching in science education is a more conventional approach to learning that typically involves teacher-centered instruction, textbook readings, memorization, and retrieval of factual information, supplemented with occasional practical activities. The new trend is data science for teaching and learning.

Hard vs Soft Skills in STEM Education

STEM Sport

The Duality of STEM Skills Traditionally, when people think about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and careers, they often prioritize hard skills—the technical knowledge and expertise required to excel in these fields. However, the reality is more complex. What Are Soft Skills in STEM?

What do Data Scientists do?

Smore Science

What is Data Science? Let’s begin by explaining what data science is. Simply put, data science is the study of data. First, the data is chaotic and messy. Data science processes develop meaning from that data. Data science chooses and changes raw data into facts.

Modelling minds: can computers mimic human intelligence?

Futurum

For example, computers can perform thousands of calculations per second, meaning they can solve some mathematical problems far more quickly and accurately than humans. Understanding how the human brain functions so efficiently and flexibly remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. But does this mean they are smarter than us?

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? Ever since Version 1.0

What Is Zearn — the Math Platform the Gates Foundation Is Betting Big On?

ED Surge

And its curriculum is used both as primary lessons and as what its leaders call “complementary” lessons, which emphasize visual models and real-life examples. One such proposal is to bring data science into high school math curriculum while deemphasizing more-traditional math pathways.
