This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History and social sciences educators have been charged with ensuring that our students are quantitatively literate. Being able to integrate research data in the form of graphs, charts, and tables and deconstruct quantitative evidence to address questions and solve problems is no longer the domain of mathematicians. Being quantitatively literate is considered an educational imperative in a data-drenched world that holds so many employment challenges. The internet contains a treasure trove of valid and reliable sources of quantitative data that history and social sciences teachers can easily use to satisfy the quantitative literacy requirements of the National Common Core Standards. This book features 85 interesting and exciting multi-century and multicultural web sites that are accompanied by numerical critical thinking questions and activities. Teachers can pose the questions to their entire class or individually assign them. It also contains lists of best practices and examples for interpreting, visualizing, and displaying quantitative data. History and social sciences educators will find this book an indispensable tool for incorporating numerical literacy skills into their class activities and assignments.

Book excerpt: "Writing the first edition of a math text, especially in an evolving area like quantitative reasoning, is part art and part science. You use your training and experience as an instructor to decide on the approach and the most appropriate topics. You travel a lot and talk to anyone who doesn't run away when they see you coming to gather more professional opinions. You count on your crack publisher's team to conduct surveys and focus groups. Then you put it all together and make some educated guesses, hoping that the result hits the mark"--

Download or read book Science Literacy written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-14 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science is a way of knowing about the world. At once a process, a product, and an institution, science enables people to both engage in the construction of new knowledge as well as use information to achieve desired ends. Access to scienceâ€"whether using knowledge or creating itâ€"necessitates some level of familiarity with the enterprise and practice of science: we refer to this as science literacy. Science literacy is desirable not only for individuals, but also for the health and well- being of communities and society. More than just basic knowledge of science facts, contemporary definitions of science literacy have expanded to include understandings of scientific processes and practices, familiarity with how science and scientists work, a capacity to weigh and evaluate the products of science, and an ability to engage in civic decisions about the value of science. Although science literacy has traditionally been seen as the responsibility of individuals, individuals are nested within communities that are nested within societiesâ€"and, as a result, individual science literacy is limited or enhanced by the circumstances of that nesting. Science Literacy studies the role of science literacy in public support of science. This report synthesizes the available research literature on science literacy, makes recommendations on the need to improve the understanding of science and scientific research in the United States, and considers the relationship between scientific literacy and support for and use of science and research.

Book excerpt: Today s university student has two pressing needs to be competent, educated, and competitive in the data-rich workplace: writing and quantitative literacy. "Developing Quantitative Literacy Through Writing" is a workbook of research and writing assignments that takes the student from posing a research question to critically analyzing journal articles, to learning basic quantitative and qualitative research, to preparing graphs and tables, and finally to writing a formal research paper based on the student s own research. With over 40 different writing assignments, students learn to engage in a variety of information gathering activities, work collaboratively, problem-solve, explore, investigate, ponder, and learn. Topics of research are varied and interesting whether it s doing descriptive studies, field observations, surveys, or in-class experiments, this is a great tool for the interactive classroom experience. Gaylynne Carter Robinson teaches Writing for Anthropology and Writing for Quantitative Literacy at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She earned her bachelor s degree in Anthropology at UTSA, and her Master s in English at St. Mary s University where she was a Distinguished Graduate. She continues to do post-graduate work in research and statistics.
Download or read book Quantitative Literacy written by Bruce Crauder and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 1350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I finally understand why I need to learn some math!" says a student after finishing a course that used Quantitative Literacy. That enthusiastic response gets to the heart of how this remarkable textbook works. Quantitative Literacy shows students that they use math in their everyday lives more than they realize, and that learning math in real-world contexts not only makes it easier to get better grades, but prepares them for decisions they’ll face about money, voting and politics, health issues, and much more. The authors draw on a wide range of examples to give students basic mathematical tools— from sports to personal finance to sociopolitical action to medical tests to the arts—with coverage that neatly balances discussions of ideas with computational practice.
