Ana Morales-Gomez explores the ways that data from the UK Data Service collection can be used with students in the classroom.
Today’s young people have grown up surrounded by unprecedented amounts of information, which is sometimes hard to sift through. Although overwhelming at first glance, this presents an opportunity for everyone involved in the teaching/learning process.
On the one hand, students have vietnam rcs data experience using electronic devices from a young age, which gives them plenty of confidence in terms of hardware and software usage, but does not necessarily equate to advanced information-seeking and/or processing skills.
On the other hand, educators have extensive experience in summarising, discriminating and communicating information, ideas and concepts; the combination of the strengths of both sides of the teaching/learning process is what makes the use of online resources and technology a powerful tool.
The UK Data Service is committed to making data more accessible for all members of society. We do this by providing access and training to a broad collection of data from national surveys, census and international organisations to academic researchers and everyone who has the desire to do so.
