Demographic data of the boot camp participants.

Data is becoming increasingly ubiquitous today, and data literacy has emerged an essential skill in the workplace. Therefore, it is necessary to equip high school students with data literacy skills in order to prepare them for further learning and future employment. In Indonesia, there is a growing shift towards integrating data literacy in the high school curriculum. As part of a pilot intervention project, academics from two leading Universities organised data literacy boot camps for high school students across various cities in Indonesia. The boot camps aimed at increasing participants’ awareness of the power of analytical and exploration skills, which in turn, would contribute to creating independent and data-literate students. This paper explores student participants’ self-perception of their data literacy as a result of the skills acquired from the boot camps. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected through student surveys and a focus group discussion, and were used to analyse student perception post-intervention. The findings indicate that students became more aware of the usefulness of data literacy and its application in future studies and work after participating in the boot camp. Of the materials delivered at the boot camps, students found the greatest benefit in learning basic statistical concepts and applying them through the use of Microsoft Excel as a tool for basic data analysis. These findings provide valuable policy recommendations that educators and policymakers can use as guidelines for effective data literacy teaching in high schools.

当今时代，数据已无处不在，数据素养（data literacy）已然成为职场不可或缺的核心技能。因此，为助力高中生做好后续学习与未来就业的准备，向其传授数据素养相关技能实属必要。在印度尼西亚，高中课程体系正逐步推进数据素养内容的融入，这一趋势愈发明显。作为一项试点干预项目的组成部分，来自两所顶尖高校的学者为印度尼西亚多个城市的高中生筹办了数据素养训练营。本次训练营旨在提升参与者对数据分析与探索技能的价值认知，进而助力培养兼具自主学习能力与数据素养的学生。本文旨在探究参与训练营的学生基于所学技能，对自身数据素养的自我感知情况。研究通过学生问卷调查与焦点小组座谈收集定性与定量数据，用以分析干预后学生的认知变化。研究结果显示，参与训练营后，学生对数据素养的实用价值及其在未来学习与职场中的应用有了更为深刻的认知。在训练营开设的各项教学内容中，学生认为收获最大的是基础统计学概念的学习，以及借助Microsoft Excel工具开展基础数据分析的实践操作。本研究结果可为教育工作者与政策制定者提供极具参考价值的政策建议，用以指导高中阶段高效开展数据素养教学工作。
