DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS TASKS
EDUC W200 Week 9
DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS (DC&A) TASKS:
• Discussion Questions :o What is your definition of “data analysis?” What do
you think of?o What about “data collection?” What do you think
of for that?o In your school experiences, when have you
collected data? Analyzed data?
EDUC W200 Week 9
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: TASKS DEFINED
Data Collection and Analysis (DC&A) tasks:o Tasks where students gather real world information about a
problem and study/evaluate to come up with a conclusion/solution for the problem.
Data analysis taskso Finding patterns & trendso Working with words, ideas, and/or numberso Classify, sequence, relate things to each other
Data collection taskso Collecting your own data o Finding existing data: gathering and collecting it

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: ACROSS SUBJECT AREAS
• And tools for DC&A tasks help them do this.But how does this work across subject areas and grade levels…?
Discussion Question: How can students in my subject area learn
through collecting data? Analyzing data?

WHY BOTHER WITH DATA ANALYSIS TASKS?
• Analyzing your own data makes it more ‘real’• Gives a visual way to view information (Ex:
Wordle or InspireData)• It also teaches problem solving
