Description
Our increasingly data-driven societies put pressure on the students’ skillsets while schools struggle to fit the demands of global digitalisation into their curricula. Promoting data-based literacy skills in the students’ upbringing requires their committed long-term application in meaningful contexts, in which open data from “the real world” of scientific experiments and governmental institutions serves a valuable purpose of increasing the authenticity of the learning experience. We present the case for educational use of open data and integrated programming in developing the students’ cross-disciplinary thinking and appreciation of data-analysis. Feedback from teachers and students between 2016-2023 has been very positive.
