RE: Data - Lesson 1 - Collecting Data
It is so important for studetns to not only learn to collect data but to collect it properly. The more valid the data is then the more reliable the information will be. The next step is teaching them how to understand and use the data.
Data quality is an important issue indeed. It is also important to obtained data/responses that are unbiased. Obtained unbiased/accurate/precise data is very difficult to do though.
This part is important. Those who understand this have improved their critical thinking skills. (Examples: Percentages are misleading, where's the sample size?)
