Data literacy: Design of a new training scenario for the university context

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to design a proposal for training in data literacy, as a zero course, in which students receive basic or initial instruction in the identification, location, visualization and retrieval of data sets, arising in the context of open data and data science. The work is based on a review of the existing literature on data literacy and an analysis of data-based practices in the field of Higher Education. The study will provide a training proposal in data literacy that contemplates the digital and transversal competences that students must acquire, the learning objectives and contents, as well as the tasks, resources and tools that make this possible.
