Make a plan with your coach about which tasks you will perform to gain control over the following skills:
- Performing analysis, comparison, and evaluation of data sources, information, and digital content;
- Performing analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of data, information, and digital content.
Examples to develop these skills:
- To practice the analysis, comparison, and evaluation of data sources, information, and digital content, you can, for example, choose a topic that interests you, such as healthy eating. Then you can gather various sources, such as articles, videos, or websites, and compare them based on their reliability and relevance. For example, you can check if the source comes from a reputable organization or expert, or if the information is up-to-date and based on scientific research.
- To practice the analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of data, information, and digital content, you can, for example, create an Excel sheet in which you collect information about the sales of certain products in a specific period. Then you can analyze and interpret this data, for example, by creating a graph showing the sales of the products over time. By studying this graph, you can gain insights into the trends and patterns in sales, and possibly draw conclusions about the success of the products. You can also try out different formulas and functions in Excel to calculate different statistics, such as the average or standard deviation of sales.
But that's not all - increase the value of your badge by adding your learning process and achievements to your badge. This allows potential employers to gain a better understanding of your digital skills.
