WORKPLAN
- Preparation stage: comprehensive research and analysis.
- The project begins with an extensive research phase to understand the current landscape of data literacy education in partner countries.
- This includes literature reviews, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement workshops and consultations to identify existing practices, gaps, and challenges.
- This stage will ensure that the project’s interventions are based on a solid understanding of the context and needs.
- Moreover, this stage includes the preparation phase for the project’s successful implementation, where partners are going to develop the project management plan, the quality assurance and evaluation plan and the communication strategy.
- Development phase: policy framework to test
- Based on the research findings, a comprehensive framework for data literacy skills in compulsory education will be developed through a collaborative process involving partners and stakeholders.
- This framework will provide clear guidelines and standards for educators and policymakers to integrate data literacy into curriculum effectively.
- It will address the identified gaps and aligns with international best practices, ensuring its relevance and applicability.
- Application phase: capacity building of teachers – experimentation in schools
- Training courses for both higher education students and in-service teachers will be developed based on the framework.
- These courses will be piloted and evaluated to ensure their effectiveness and suitability for different educational contexts.
- Piloting will allow for refinement and adaptation of the training programs to better meet the needs.
- Following, an experimentation phase to test the effectiveness of the developed interventions in real educational settings, will be implemented.
- An experimentation protocol will be designed and an online assessment tool to measure data literacy skills will be developed.
- The experimentation will help gather empirical data and evidence on the impact of the interventions and best practices for teaching data literacy.
- The experimentation will provide evidence to inform policy recommendations.
- Policy Engagement and Recommendations
- The project will engage policymakers and stakeholders through policy events and consultations.
- Policy recommendations will be developed based on research findings and stakeholder inputs, aiming to influence educational policies and practices at local, national, and international levels.
- Transversal to these stages of implementation are the project management, quality assurance and evaluation and dissemination activities, which will span throughout the duration of the project.
- These activities will assure the smooth execution of the DATA-RADY project, the quality of processes and results, the widespread dissemination of project findings, the scalable impact to education policies and the sustainability of the project results.
