Abstract:
This paper asks various questions concerning the relevance of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) ideas for teaching 16-19 year old's, and reports on a workshop which considered these questions. Four key questions can be posed which are pertinent to the question of preparing EDA materials for use at school level: (a) are EDA ideas relevant at this level? (b) if so, then which ideas and techniques should be taught? (c) which data sources are sufficiently motivating for this age group? (d) how should or could such material be prepared?
