Session Goal

The session aimed to critically analyze and evaluate educational materials and teaching methods used in Data Science courses, with a focus on improving pedagogical approaches and aligning them with professional expectations.

Key Activities

  • Conducted a comparative analysis of two evaluations in a Data Science course, highlighting differences in structure, evaluation style, and pedagogical innovations.
  • Performed a critical analysis of didactic content in a Machine Learning course, specifically focusing on decision trees, assessing the technical level, examples used, and practical connections to model learning.
  • Evaluated educational materials for a Data Science course, emphasizing conceptual rigor, applied focus, and reasonable demands, while suggesting the creation of a formal document to highlight authorship and curriculum alignment.
  • Identified symptoms of a problematic educational environment, including unilateral content control by professors and discrepancies between teaching and evaluation methods, suggesting institutional issues affecting teaching quality.
  • Analyzed the pedagogical quality of slides used in a Data Science Lab course, noting both positive aspects and significant problems in technical depth and alignment between teaching and evaluation.

Achievements

  • Established a new standard for evaluations that align with professional expectations in the field of Data Science.
  • Identified strengths and weaknesses in course content, with recommendations for improvement.
  • Suggested the creation of a formal document to enhance the visibility and alignment of educational materials with the curriculum.

Pending Tasks

  • Develop a formal document to highlight the authorship and alignment of educational materials with the curriculum.
  • Address identified institutional issues affecting teaching quality and faculty morale.
  • Implement recommendations for improving course structure and content in Machine Learning and Data Science courses.
