Q: How do we grow #dataliteracy skills? A: We worked with scientists to develop the PPSTT framework to help students make sense of graphs & figures. Part of a free unit for grades 9–uni; #openaccess thanks to NSF funding to Dr. Tom Luhring at WSU 🧪 #scicomm #edusky youtube.com/shorts/zDRqw...

Our PPSTT framework 👆 focuses on making sense of data visuals. It's like an order of operations (PEMDAS) for reading a graph. There are many other complementary frameworks you should check out: 👉@mikecaulfield.bsky.social's SIFT web #medialiteracy framework clark.libguides.com/evaluating-i... 🧵1/6

Also check out @ncse.bsky.social's dataWISE #dataliteracy framework! This approach focuses especially on the "Trust" step in PPSTT, particularly in the context of a scientific claim. 2/6 ncse.ngo/datawise

Also see @bscs.bsky.social's I^2 (Interpret & Identify) strategy as another complementary approach for growing #dataliteracy. 3/6 media.bscs.org/icans/Icans_...

We also love @johnfocook.bsky.social's FLICC framework for putting a name on types of bad actor behavior and misinformation strategies (specifically for climate change). 4/6 crankyuncle.com/a-history-of...

Our second video w/ the scientists☝️ uses the slow reveal graph technique to help students build #dataliteracy by focusing on one layer of information at a time. Check out @jennalaib.bsky.social's awesome blog for tons of slide decks to support this approach! 5/6 slowrevealgraphs.com
