데이터 문해력과 시민 데이터 사이언티스트의 필요 역량

이전에 포스팅했던 시민 데이터 사이언티스트(Citizen Data Scientist, 이하 CDS)에 대한 블로그에서 CDS가 갖춰야 할 기본 역량이 Data Literacy(한글로는 데이터 문해력으로 번역/이하 데이터 문해력)라고 소개했었습니다. 참고로 ‘문해력’이란 단어는 글을 읽고 이해하는 능력을 의미하는데, 데이터를 다룰 때도 마찬가지로 데이터를 읽고 이해하는 능력이 중요하기 때문에 이러한 용어를 사용해도 큰 무리는 없으리라 판단됩니다. 이번

まず「データリテラシー」からはじめよう

社会でのデータ活用が進むにつれ、それを推進する人材の必要性が増しています。データ活用人材、アナリティクス人材、データサイエンティスト、呼び方や役割はさまざまですが、そのスキルの根底にあるのは、「データリテラシー」です。データリテラシーとは、世界で起こっているさまざまなことを理解するために、データと対話できることを指します。データの有用性を見極め、信頼性を問い、意味を見出し、その洞察を意思決定に役立て、洞察を他者に伝えることができる一連のスキルです。内閣府、文部科学省、経済産業省は、大学における「リテラシーレベル」の数理・データサイエンス・AI教育プログラムについて、認定制度をはじめようとしています。 SASは、学生向けにデータサイエンスを学べる SAS Skill Builder for Students を無料で提供しています。Skill Builder for Students の e-Learning のなかに、データサイエンスを学ぶ最初のコースとして、Data Literacy Essential があります。このコースでは、身近な例を取り上げ、段階を踏んでわかりやすくデータリテラシーについて学ぶことができます。 SASは、アナリティクスが個人や組織の意思決定のために活用されるものであることを意識し、製品やサービスを展開しています。この Data Literacy Essential のコースでも、意思決定の際にデータとどう向き合えばよいのか、その理解のためのファースト・ステップを提供します。よく統計学の初級コースで、「まず平均や分散を計算してみましょう」という教材がありますが、実は、それ以前に理解すべきことがあります。なぜデータを見る必要があるのか、どのようにデータを集めるのか、そのデータはどういう性質を持っているのか、という疑問と、それらを知ろうとする姿勢が必要です。 このコースは6つのモジュールで構成されます。 Why Data Literacy Matters ... WebやSNSなどで出会うさまざまなデータを例にデータリテラシーの重要性を学びます。 Data Literacy Practices ... 商品の購入を例にデータリテラシーの実践を学びます。 Identifying Reliable Data ... ある家族の新型コロナ感染予防の取り組みを例に信頼できるデータの収集について学びます。 Discovering the Meaning of Data ... 新型コロナの影響を受けたビジネスを例にデータから知見をどのように得られるのかを学びます。 Making Data-informed Decisions ...
