Description
Creating a scientifically literate population requires insight into how scientific thought is developed and put into practice. Computational essays can provide structural support for acquiring such argumentation skills through data-based reasoning while promoting the students’ epistemic agency. With open data, this method can provide a valuable, authentic and easily accessible experience of scientific work in modern and varied contexts. We present a pilot look at a pre-service teacher course combining field work, expert lectures and data analysis, exploring how the medium of computational essays can be used to foster a deeper understanding of empirical sciences.
