越来越多的统计数据，包括世界银行的统计数据，正在开放式网络上提供。这种“数据洪流”既带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。良好地使用这些数据需要具备统计知识。本文介绍了一个项目的结果，该项目旨在更好地了解社会经济二级数据如何用于帮助英国大学社会科学发展定量技能，并重点关注世界银行的数据。真实世界的数据使用，以发展统计识字的社会科学学生的证据。这是联合王国社会科学能力建设的基础，研究理事会、统计组织和其他机构都认识到这一需要。这项工作有助于发现教学和研究中良好做法的证据，为希望支持学生使用真实世界数据进行统计学扫盲的其他人提供信息。面临的挑战是在服务不太好的其他社会和教育研究领域分享和复制这种良好做法（主要是在经济学和计量经济学方面）。
Increasing volumes of statistical data are being made available on the open web, including from the World Bank. This ‘data deluge’ provides both opportunities and challenges. Good use of these data requires statistical literacy. This paper presents results from a project that set out to better understand how socioeconomic secondary data are being used in helping to develop quantitative skills in UK university social sciences and focuses on the World Bank data in support of this. Evidence of real-world data use to develop statistically literate social science students is presented. This underpins capacity-building in UK social sciences, a need recognized by research councils, statistical organizations and other bodies. The work has helped uncover evidence of good practice in teaching and research to inform others who wish to support their students in becoming statistically literate using real-world data. The challenge is to share and replicate this good practice (mainly in economics and econometrics) in other areas of social and educational research which are less well served.
