Encouraging students to link data collected in small investigations with statistical data to reflect on topics such as climate change or the distribution of resources can be very effective if they follow some key strategies that encourage their curiosity, critical thinking and the connection between the local and the global. Some of these strategies could be:
– Start with a local problem that students can observe in their immediate environment.
– Use accessible and visual data
– Encourage students to compare their data with broader statistical data.
– Encourage group work so that students share their ideas and discuss different points of view about the data.
– Enseñarles a usar herramientas de análisis de datos, como hojas de cálculo (Excel, Google Sheets), programas estadísticos (como R o Python), o incluso software de visualización (Tableau, Power BI)
– Invite experts in climate change, resource distribution, or sustainability to speak with students.
– Design research projects in which students collect data on a local problem and then link it to broader research on climate change, resource distribution, or social justice.
– Reflect on the impact of data
– Organize
projects in which students apply their findings to positively influence their environment, such as climate change awareness campaigns based on the data they have collected
