Stage 3 – Learning Plan
Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction
L1 – Introduction to Data
• Introduce different kinds of data types: text, numeric and boolean
• Introduce different knds of data structures: one-dimentional arrays, lists, and
• Activity: Sort examples into qualitative/quantitative using a card game
L2 – Evaluating Data Quality & Ethics, Documentation of teamwork
• Introduce factors that would affect the quality of the data
• Introduce integrity, bias, relevance, and accuracy of data
• Analyse misleading graphs or visualisations in the media
• Purpose of internal documentation
L3 – Database Software/Spreadsheet Software Usage
• Understand how to store the data using a spreadsheet
• Understand how to format the data to ensure that data can be used
L4 – Data Preparation/Validation
• Clean the data for future usage
• Naming convention for solution elements
• Validation techniques for data, such as existence checking, type cheking and range checking
L5 – Data Visualisation
