Integrated Data Research Team

Our research team designs and conducts research on learning environments that support students to develop ideas and practices related to data, statistics, modeling, and inference. These ideas and practices are increasingly necessary in personal, professional, and community life. So, we aim to equip students with the resources and agency to make inferences with data in ways that are both personally and epistemically meaningful.

Description of Dr. Ryan Seth Jones CAREER project

"This project is exploring how to productively coordinate instruction around data, statistics, modeling, and inference in middle grades mathematics and science classes. We will conduct design-based research to develop and study innovative tools that support students to generate knowledge about ecological systems by using models of variability to make inferences. In partnership with teachers from our partner school, we will develop two investigations in..."
