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. Mathematical Reasoning: Proficiency in mathematical concepts and problem-solving.

Helping social studies teachers to teach data literacy with Teaspoon languages

Computing Education Research Blog

Our primary goal is to meet learning objectives outside of CS using programming. The great idea is to build familiarity and confidence in programming by showing students real computer science every year. The goal is to address the goal of “CS for All” by integrating computing into other subjects, by place the non-CS subjects first.

Two areas of overlapping colours show the primary and secondary whisker areas. I am proud to have presented some of my research, which used mathematical methods I have learnt during my PhD, at a conference. The programming and data analysis are my favourite parts of my project, so I think I would like to try a career in data science.

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?
