[Informatics] SAT data sets - "the specifications for creating the information"

[Garth, Lucas A]

Hi Mark

I think it’s the manner in which the student gathers (acquires) and checks (validates) the data.  This means that they gather:

·         Data from primary and secondary sources

·         Multiple complex data sets, using different data and states (I assume VH will need this, not just H)

·         Gathers the data ethically and uses appropriate methods e.g de-identification / consent forms (if primary)

I want to see all of this from my students in response to that dot point.

Use the rubric – it helps to explain the more vague statements.

Ok. No responses. Time is short.  I'll have to assume that it refers to the nature of the data that need to be collected, e.g. To support a hypothesis that cancellations of public transport causes road accidents you need...
1. Data on the number of trains cancelled.
2. Data on number of car accidents.
3. Statements by drivers that train cancellation caused them to drive and led to accident.

Or am I wrong?

Hi, data-collectors

In the Informatics SAT Info PDF, in the data sets section, students are required to show evidence of "the specifications for creating the information". (p.2)

Can someone explain or exemplify what sort of 'specifications' are intended?

Does it mean things like "the information must be accurate, timely, complete" etc?
Or "It must be information about Australian cases in the past 10 years"?

It's a bit too vague for me to get a handle on.

Thanks in advance
Mark
