Survey Data in Teaching Project (SDiT): Enhancing critical thinking and data numeracy

The Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS) of which the UK Data Archive is a service provider, is a national data service that provides access and support for a range of key economic and social data, both quantitative and qualitative, spanning many themes. Surveys have shown that the UK lacks individuals with good quantitative data analysis skills. The SDiT project aimed to consider how repurposing existing data resources at the UK Data Archive for teaching and learning might increase use.
