  • CoRE @ Euro Congress of Math Ed (CERME-14)

    Michelle was invited to present a plenary discussion at the 14th Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (CERME14), hosted by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano with colleague Rolf Biehler of Paderborn University. Curricular innovation was a theme throughout the conference, and Rolf and Michelle’s talk explored visions of Data Science Education […]

  • Teachers & DataViz Discussions in IJSME

    Leading classroom dataviz discussions can be tricky. This paper examines how a dataviz discussion guide can help teachers stay flexible, while meeting specific mathematical and scientific learning goals.

  • Aligning Ideas + Models in Cognition & Instruction

    Computational tools hold promise for science education, but each models information in a different way. This paper explore ways to connect what students already know with the different ways it might be represented.

  • Sci Educ: When Models are “Right but Wrong”

    Agent-based modeling can get students thinking about mechanism. But to get students refining their models toward accurate explanations, comparing models with data is just as important.

  • The Data Science Education Fellowship

    This postdoctoral opportunity brings together faculty from College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS), the Berkeley School of Education (BSE), and the Social Sciences D-Lab. These faculty will support three (3) fellows as they study the teaching and learning of Data Science, with attention to both instruction and content, and to pathways across educational sectors as they seek to prepare and articulate students into new Data Science majors.

  • Fitzmaurice Recognized at ISLS ’24!

    Helen’s full paper, “Activism or bureaucracy: What are we teaching students through local climate action projects?” won a Best Paper Award at the 2024 Meeting of the International Society for the Learning Sciences. Her paper examines the ways that teachers’ framing and enactment of student action projects shift over time toward different “orientations-of-action,” or ways […]

  • Exploring Local Impacts and Global Change w/ Data

    A new paper describes one of the units developed as part of the Writing Data Stories project, focused on connecting the local and global effects of climate change through storytelling and data.
