The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the main areas where data analysis is currently being taught, namely: (i) mathematics containing a data analysis element; (ii) specific courses in statistics; (iii) data analysis taught specifically in other subject areas and (iv) courses which make an inherent assumption of statistical knowledge. Furthermore, the paper and presentation are designed to promote discussion on appropriate teaching methods of data analysis within our educational establishments.
