Wolff, A., Gooch, D., Cavero Montaner, J., Rashid, U. and Kortuem, G. (2017). Creating an Understanding of Data Literacy for a Data-driven Society. Journal of Community Informatics, 12(3) (In press). "This paper explores the different perspectives currently offered on both data and statistical literacy and then critically examines to what extent these address the data literacy needs of citizens in today’s society. We survey existing approaches to teaching data literacy in schools, to identify how data literacy is interpreted in practice. Based on these analyses, we propose a definition of data literacy that is focused on employing an inquiry-based approach to using data to understand real world phenomena.
