Combining computational and science practices in K-12 education
TLDR
This work intends to develop a data visualization tool that allows students to engage in new ways of exploring and making sense of data through a block-based programming environment, and codesign with middle school science teachers curricular units that will integrate the tool with the investigation of specific scientific phenomena.

Activity Monitor Gaming and the Next Generation Science Standards: Students Engaging with Data, Measurement Limitations, and Personal Relevance
This paper connects the technological practice of activity monitor gaming to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) science and engineering practice of “analyzing and interpreting data,” and to… Expand
Choose Your Evidence
Schooling traditionally affords students more experience in learning and practicing procedures than in identifying what a situation calls for. When asked to choose appropriate numerical data to… Expand
Authoring Data Stories in a Media Makerspace: Adolescents Developing Critical Data Literacies
This article centers sociocultural and sociopolitical considerations of how young people understand, represent, and use data by presenting findings from a social design research study about how… Expand

TLDR
It is argued that the effects of educational methods are influenced by a multitude of (interacting) factors related to student and teacher characteristics, context, domain, frequency of use, timing, and probably more and that adopting and combining different approaches may be necessary to reach optimal levels of learning. Expand
Data Literacies and Social Justice: Exploring Critical Data Literacies through Sociocultural Perspectives
TLDR
This symposium brings together scholars to present theoretical frameworks and empirical studies on the design of learning spaces for critical data literacies to support a larger discussion around existing tensions, additional design considerations, and new methodologies. Expand
Middle school students’ reasoning about data and context through storytelling with repurposed local data
Publicly-available datasets, though useful for education, are often constructed for purposes that are quite different from students’ own. To investigate and model phenomena, then, students must learn… Expand
Touching Information with DIY Paper Charts & AR Markers
TLDR
This work in progress explores how informal learning through creation and play with interactive data representations (physicalizations) can foster increased literacy and engagement with data. Expand
Learning at the Intersection of Self and Society: The Family Geobiography as a Context for Data Science Education
Open large-scale datasets (LSDS) and data visualization technologies are new cultural tools that have potential to inform public dialogue and learning about important socioeconomic and scientific… Expand
An Investigation of Students’ Use of a Computational Science Simulation in an Online High School Physics Class
Science educators have begun to explore how students have opportunities to not only view and manipulate simulations, but also to analyze the complex sources of data they generate. While scholars have… Expand

Beyond transparency: How students make representations meaningful
TLDR
This work proposes a new framework for understanding acts of interpretation that focuses on four major constructs: registrations, symbolic forms, interpretive genres, and interpretive maxims and demonstrates this framework's utility by applying it to excerpts of middle school students interpreting unfamiliar representations of light reflection.
