This study examined what pedagogical potential teachers see in data sets that include race as a variable. Through interviews with 11 secondary teachers, we show a range of views about the role race plays with respect to students’ opportunities to engage with data analysis. From analysis of teachers’ noticings of pedagogical potential and justifications for what data sets they would prefer in a constrained choice task, we identify areas where the learning sciences can support teacher learning and curriculum design with race-inclusive data sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
