The School of Education offers a special course "Data utilization and data science for solving problems in educational scenes"  
Expected OutcomeThe aim of this course is that students will be able to use various data obtained in school to improve education, when they will become teachers. 
Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Data-based education is expected to become more and more important in the field of education. This course deals with data science at the literacy level that those who want to be teachers should learn. Students will learn data science, handling data in educational settings.

Following topics are covered:
-Relationship between data science and education.
-Data in education: data collection and research, quantitative and qualitative data.
-Collection of data of students performance: data aggregation, sorting, data cleansing, etc.
-Understanding students performance: visualization of data such as graphs and histograms, representative values, etc.
-Analyzing factors of performance: correlation analysis.
-Things to keep in mind when handling data (ethics and precautions).

Students will use Excel for exercises.
