Influence of Data Science on School Curriculum & Introductory Statistics
Data science's impact on school curricula & introductory statistics courses is explored, focusing on statistical reasoning development and integration of machine learning. The discussions cover various aspects such as data analysis, data collection, two cultures in data science, and building curriculum with a focus on data literacy and skills using tools like CODAP, Jupyter, and Python.

Whats Different About Data Science? What s Different About Data Science? PPDAC (Wild & Pfannkuch, 1999) Problem Conclusion Plan Analysis Data
Starting from Existing Unstructured Data Starting from Existing Unstructured Data Relationships, correlations, and graphs lead to potential questions. Description before modeling, less na ve questions. Exploratory Data Analysis (Tukey, 1977) Data Conclusion Exploration Analysis Question

The Two Cultures ( The Two Cultures (Breiman Breiman, 2001) , 2001) Inference Prediction Mathematics-based conclusions from a data model Accuracy on a test set from algorithmic methods Thought of as Statistics Thought of as Data Science
The REAL Two Cultures The REAL Two Cultures Mathematics Data Reality
Building Curriculum Building Curriculum Audience: Data Literacy, Data Skills, Data Science Technology: CODAP, Juypter, iNZight, Python, R Topics: Classification vs regression, Cost functions, Amount of math Helping students create questions and analyze results Evaluation of success?
