Cetic.br, CPF Sesc and PUC-SP offer an online course on data literacy
Classes will take place once a week during the month of August
The production, analysis, and use of statistical data are fundamental for the creation and circulation of knowledge and for the development of public policies that benefit various sectors of society. To delve deeper into the topic, the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br) of the Brazilian Network Information Center (NIC.br), in conjunction with the Research and Training Center of Sesc São Paulo (CPF-Sesc) and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC/SP), will hold an online and free course 'Data Literacy in the Hyperconnected World', as part of the cycle 'Life in Numbers'.
The classes will take place on August 10, 17, 24, and 31, and there are no more spots available. The program will be conducted by renowned experts in the field: researcher Maria Helena de Sousa, PhD in Education from PUC/SP, and Pedro Nascimento, PhD in Statistics from the University of Southampton.
The course will present basic statistical concepts through practical examples, aiming to help participants read and understand the data. During the classes, the models used to analyze and compare scenarios, the differences between probability and possibility, the processes of investigation and knowledge generation, the importance of data for reading reality, as well as the forms of visualization and dissemination of statistical data that serve as a basis for proposing public policies, among many other topics.
