Abstract
The article presents a model for developing data handling competencies at Primary school. The work is part of a larger research aiming at forming basic statistic literacy at early ages. Data analysis knowledge and skills are important part for the nowadays person. At Primary school, some basic skills for data handling must be developed. Working with data structured in tables and presented by graphs corresponds with the process of developing students' digital skills. Experimental work was done at third grade of primary school in equipped with contemporary technologies learning environment. Some example tasks are presented and the results from the experimental work are analysed.
Highlights
The rapid and permanent development of the computational technologies leads to the possibility of processing a vast amount of information, as well as its analysing, visualizing, and systematizing
A variety of information in tabular and graphic form fills the everyday life of the average person
The progress in technology and science leads to the increase of the need for the so-called statistical literacy – the ability to read and properly interpret information, presented in tabular or graphic form, as well as the skills to structure the gathered information in tabular or graphic form for its subsequent processing and analysis
Summary
The rapid and permanent development of the computational technologies leads to the possibility of processing a vast amount of information, as well as its analysing, visualizing, and systematizing. The progress in technology and science leads to the increase of the need for the so-called statistical literacy – the ability to read and properly interpret information, presented in tabular or graphic form, as well as the skills to structure the gathered information in tabular or graphic form for its subsequent processing and analysis. Recognizing the role of statistical literacy, many educational standards provide for its formation from primary school age (NCTM, 2000). This development demands specially educated primary school teachers (Estrella, 2015). According Bulgarian education standards students start working with data handling from 5-th grade of Secondary school
