提高大學生的科學數據素養：經驗與反思

Enhancing Scientific Data Literacy in College Students: Experience and Lessons Learned

數據素養教育在很多大學圖書館是一個新的服務領域。本文報告我們所做的科學數據素養項目中的四個主要方面的活動：（1）對教師的數據管理意識與事件方面的問卷調查，（2）數據素養教育的課程模塊，（3）課程的教學，（4）學習成效的評估。從對教師問卷調查中我們發現教師對研究數據管理的重要性、方法以及工具普遍認知不足，這種認知的程度與他們所產生的研究數據的數量大小與複雜程度有關。由於科學專業的課程設置結構的原因，即使需求在增長，科學數據素養的訓練融入本科正規課程中有一定困難。文中討論了從該項目的執行過程中獲得的經驗、反思以及對圖書館學資訊科學教育的挑戰。

Data literacy education is a new service territory for many academic libraries. This paper reports our experience from a two-year Science Data Literacy (SDL) project through four areas of activities: (1) survey on faculty’s perceptions and practices in data management, (2) design of SDL learning modules, (3) delivery of the course, and (4)） assessment of learning outcomes. We found from the faculty survey that there was a low level of awareness of research data management importance, methods, and tools in general and that the data management practice is associated with the size and complexity of the data produced by their research. Science data literacy training was difficult to be integrated into formal curricula due to their structure, even though the need for such training was on the rise. The lessons learned from the two-year project and how libraries and library and information science education might turn this challenge into opportunities are discussed.
