Eight new Data-Driven Learning Guides available

ICPSR’s Online Learning Center is pleased to announce the release of eight new Data-Driven Learning Guides (DDLGs).

Designed by teaching faculty and geared toward building data literacy in undergraduate classrooms, DDLGs are set up as lesson plans and contain a description and examples of the focal concept, the data needed for empirical application using basic statistical techniques, a guide to interpretation, and a summary of the exercise.

The new DDLGS are:

• Civic Participation and Demographics in Rural China (using the Four County Study of Chinese Local Government and Political Economy dataset)
• Ethics and Politics (using data from an ABC News/Washington Post poll)
• US Foreign Policy towards Haiti 1994 (also ABC News/Washington Post poll data)
• Intergroup Relationships - Attitudes and Behaviors (using the Houston Area Survey dataset)
• Social Change (using the Longitudinal Study of Generations)
• The American Dream at the Turn of the 21st Century (Using the 1996 ABC News Listening to America Poll)
• Crime Victimization in the US (Using the National Crime Victimization Survey)

OLC now offers more than 40 DDLGs, and more are under development. We appreciate any feedback or suggestions for new topics for DDLGs.
