Discussion of Vision for RCN-UBE

By combining the unique viewpoints and strengths of these separate communities, we will work to identify core data competencies, describe learning progressions to produce data literate biologists and citizens, provide evidence based data literacy materials, and initiate an effective strategy for sustained implementation.

2:30

Discussion of Goals for RCN-UBE

           I.        Facilitate a community of data scientists, biodiversity researchers, biology educators and implementation scientists interested in core transferrable data literacy standards.

          II.        Identify key foundational data literacy standards and gaps in core undergraduate biology education.

          III.        Organize collective data literacy efforts to promote efficient use of resources, common goals and productive collaboration.

         IV.        Integrate resources and build effective and accessible core introductory materials for use, dissemination and implementation in introductory core undergraduate biology curriculum.

          V.        Apply an implementation science framework to sustain effective data literacy education in the undergraduate biology core curriculum.
