Assessment of an educational intervention for data literacy using scientific method and situated learning

This project sought to assess the results of an educommunication intervention programme framed within the context of "Comciencia" seeking the development of data literacy using the scientific method and situated learning. Motivation, implication-attitude and expectations were measured in a non-formal educational environment composed of 1st to 4th-year students of Secondary Education (ESO) through a pre-test-post-test assessment model. Active learning methods such as project-based learning and gamification were used in the study. The results show that application of the scientific method and use of open data from public institutions contribute to developing a critical, real and valid perspective on issues associated with sustainability and the environment.
