Abstract

Erickson et al. (2019) defined a data move as an action that alters a dataset’s contents, structure, or values. They also proposed a framework of six data moves from their work with CODAP. We have expanded their framework through reflection on the use of data moves by ourselves and teachers. Our framework has added new data moves, restructured the relationship of data moves, and added purposes for each data move. We will explicate our expanded framework and how it supports data processing, analysis, and modeling through exploration of a dataset involving recent adult obesity levels in Western Pacific and South-East Asian Countries. We will also discuss how teachers’ intentional use of the framework can enhance students’ understanding of data science.
