Abstract:
In France, data analysis is a part of the curriculum of primary schools (students younger than 11 years old). In primary schools, one teacher teaches all the subjects in the curriculum. In secondary schools (students from 11 to 18 years old) the style of education is very different and there is a different teacher for each subject. However, data analysis is still part of the curriculum in mathematics, economics, geography, biology, etc. with each teacher developing his/her own methods for data analysis. We will emphasize this point later. This paper offers a definition of data analysis, states goals for teachers and describes what is appropriate for the schools.
