本文认为,数据技能在地理中的作用超越了测量、分析和统计测试的死记硬背,而是将数据嵌入地理课程的核心。它借鉴了为RGS-IBG地理数据技能计划制作的材料,这些材料已在2017年地理协会年会上提交。它描述了统计学和学科知识的两大支柱如何提供了用数据讲述地理故事和评估故事可信度的方法。它还认为,用数字证据进行推理的技能是一种包容性的工具,有助于挑战错误信息的传播。
This article argues that the role of data skills in geography goes beyond measurement, analysis and the rote learning of statistical tests to embedding data into the heart of geographical curricula. It draws on materials produced for the RGS-IBG Data Skills in Geography Programme, which were presented at the Geographical Association's Annual Conference in 2017. It describes how the twin pillars of statistical and disciplinary knowledge provide the means to tell geographic stories with data and to assess the credibility of the stories told. It also argues that the skill of reasoning with numeric evidence is a tool for inclusivity and helps to challenge the propagation of misinformation.
