Data Literacy
ABSTRACT
In our increasingly data-driven society, data literacy is an important civic skill which we should be developing in our society. Data is slowly but steadily forcing their way into the societies. Data literacy may seem less technical than either Computer Science or any other fields. Still we need to envisage a wide variety of tools for accessing, converting and manipulating data. These require to understand relational databases (like MS Access), data manipulation techniques, statistical software tools (like Minitab, SPSS, STATA and MS Excel) and data representation software tools (like MS PowerPoint and MS Excel). This seminar includes an introduction on data literacy, its inter-relationship with information literacy and statistical literacy. It also includes various steps for working with data followed by short demonstration of data analysis techniques by using the software STATA11.
