DATA LITERACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Perspectives from Visualization, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Education
Data literacy is becoming a foundational skillset in our increasingly data-driven society. Fields that rely heavily on data, such as data visualization, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence, each contribute unique perspectives in studying data literacy. Yet, these efforts remain siloed. Our workshop aims to bridge these communities for interdisciplinary dialogue.
The Growing Imperative for Data Literacy
The rapid advancement of AI and data-driven decision-making makes data literacy an essential competency for individuals and organizations alike. Understanding its multifaceted nature and bridging disciplinary gaps is crucial for 21st-century success.

Understanding Data Through Visuals
As a common tool for communicating data, visualizations offer researchers a window into how people extract information and make meaning from data, thereby targeting competencies related to data sharing and communication.
Cognitive Processes of Data Interpretation
Cognitive psychologists study why people make errors when interpreting data and what mental models they construct when reasoning about data, providing insights into human data processing limitations and biases.
Navigating AI-Driven Insights
AI researchers situate data literacy within the context of machine learning, and focus on how people interpret algorithmic outputs while accounting for bias or other limits in the training data, emphasizing ethical considerations and transparency.
Pedagogical Approaches to Data Skills
Learning scientists investigate how to teach complex and interconnected data literacy skills effectively, developing curricula and interventions that foster a deeper understanding across various age groups and educational settings.
