Abstract

In the data-driven classroom, students are actively engaged in organizing and interpreting data with the goal of developing reasonable explanations of those data. The characteristics of this classroom paradigm are student centered, inquiry based, and collaborative. Additionally, the data-driven classroom develops habits of critical thinking not generally fostered in more traditional approaches. We have experimented with this approach and provide some preliminary observations.
