Data Collection

What is data? How is data collected? What can be learned from the data that can be collected?

  • Data is any piece of information that can be represented in bits. Data can range form a number to a set of characters. Collecting data can come from a survey or a sampling of people, it can be collected through calculations. Many social findings or economic theories have been derived from data and other things like advertising markets use data to provide their services.

  • Develop a hypothesis about student behavior over time, based on a small sample of data.
  • Describe sources of data appropriate for performing computations.
“People say there is data all around us. What do you think that means? Brainstorm as many examples of data as you can think of.                                                                                                                                      
  • Who is generating the data?
  • Where is the data being stored or saved? Who owns it?
