Description

Old VersionNew Version
1<p>This 30 minute large group activity is designed to help learners think about how data science principles and practices connect with undergraduate biology education. It introduces several definitions of data science including the description of data acumen provided in the National Academy of Sciences report on data science for undergraduates. The activity involves mapping&nbsp;the 10 key concepts involved in developing data acumen&nbsp;onto&nbsp;several scales (e.g., confidence in my skills, interest in building my skills). Participants do this individually and then compare their maps with their neighbor&#39;s.&nbsp;</p>  1<p>This 10-minute small group activity is designed to help learners think about how data science principles and practices connect with undergraduate biology education. It introduces several definitions of data science including the description of data acumen provided in the National Academy of Sciences report on data science for undergraduates&nbsp;(Ref. 1). The activity involves mapping&nbsp;the 10 key concepts involved in developing data acumen&nbsp;onto&nbsp;several scales (e.g., confidence in my skills, interest in building my skills). Participants do this individually and then debrief the plots with others in a small, online meeting setting. The presentation provides instructions for participants to draw their own plots&nbsp;or for the use of provided handouts (more challenging for an online meeting). Instructor notes are provided in the slide notes.&nbsp;</p>
