Data analysis and evaluation
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can analyse and evaluate data using various methods.
Key learning points
- To analyse data means to examine and interpret the information presented.
- Analysis involves identifying the impact of patterns, trends, relationships, and anomalies in the data.
- Evaluation means to critically assess and judge the effectiveness based on data and evidence.
- Evaluation involves considering multiple perspectives, weighing the pros and cons to inform your judgements.
Keywords
Analyse - separate information into components and identify their characteristics
Evaluate - judge from available evidence
Trend - a direction in which something is developing/changing
Common misconception
To analyse data you just need to explain what the data is demonstrating.
The analysis skill goes a little further and looks at patterns / trends / relationships in the context of data provided.
Teacher tip
Make data tasks / lessons explicit and not only allow students to collect and present data but provide time for analysis and evaluation tasks. Build into your scheme of learning for paper 1 regular data based lessons. This is a good opportunity to practice the skills for excel spreadsheets.
Equipment
graph paper, up to date sport, exercise and PE data and trends
