Section 3.3 Strand B: Creation and Curation
This strand develops skills in collecting, organizing, and preparing data for analysis. Students learn that real-world data is often messy and requires careful curation to be useful.
Key Components:
Organization and Processing: Cleaning data, creating structures, and transforming information
Designing for Data Collection: Planning investigations and choosing appropriate methods
Measurement and Datafication: Creating and evaluating data collection processes
Complexity of Data: Working with increasingly sophisticated datasets
Students progress from simple data collection activities to designing complex research studies and managing large, multi-variable datasets.
