About this strand
This strand focuses on what data is and all of the ways students should think about and frame it as a concept and tool.
The nature of data is complex, diverse, and humanistic. When engaging with data you must consider the form it takes, where it can come from, and what it can and should be used for. Working with data is non-linear and often raises new questions while seeking answers to others. Additionally the data process is influenced at all stages by the humans working with it which can lead to biases and concerns about ethics and responsibility. However, data can also be powerful for supporting the advancement of discovery or enactment of change.
