Data & AI Literacy

About the project

In recent years, the handling, processing, and analysis of data, e.g. in the context of Big Data and machine learning, has developed enormously - due to the transformation processes of digitalization. The increasing collection, storage, and automated processing and evaluation of data in all areas of human life also have an enormous impact on everyday life, society, and politics. Today, everyone needs the skills to store, use and analyze data competently, but also to assess the consequences and effects on our society. Teaching the corresponding competencies - so-called "data literacy" - is a major challenge for schools, universities, and education in general. Artificial intelligence, the most emergent topic of recent years, is of particular importance in this context. It is essential to prepare learners for a life in the digital world. Therefore, it is crucial to impart competencies that - independent of current technologies and "hypes" - enable students to understand and shape the so-called digital world in the long term. In this research area, underlying ideas and principles will be identified that are independent of concrete technologies or applications and thus contribute to sustainable teaching. These ideas and principles are prepared and evaluated in the form of teaching-learning concepts for learners, and their transfer into teaching practice is investigated.
