论文摘要
我们提出了一种将伦理纳入统计学和数据科学专业的计划方法。我们讨论了部门层面的举措,旨在与美国国家科学院的建议相结合,以将道德规范整合到从上到下的课程中,这是我们的专业从我们的入门课程到高级顶峰课程以及从侧面到方面的课程到课程编程的进展。我们还提供了六个在我们的文科学院五个不同课程中使用的数据科学伦理模块的示例,每个模块都集中在不同的道德考虑上。这些模块设计为便携式,以便可以在不同级别的教学级别中灵活地将其灵活地纳入现有课程中,并且对教学大纲的干扰最小。我们将我们的努力与越来越多的有关数据科学教学教学的文献联系在一起,对我们有效性的评估进行了评估,并以下一步和最终思想结论。
We present a programmatic approach to incorporating ethics into an undergraduate major in statistical and data sciences. We discuss departmental-level initiatives designed to meet the National Academy of Sciences recommendation for integrating ethics into the curriculum from top-to-bottom as our majors progress from our introductory courses to our senior capstone course, as well as from side-to-side through co-curricular programming. We also provide six examples of data science ethics modules used in five different courses at our liberal arts college, each focusing on a different ethical consideration. The modules are designed to be portable such that they can be flexibly incorporated into existing courses at different levels of instruction with minimal disruption to syllabi. We connect our efforts to a growing body of literature on the teaching of data science ethics, present assessments of our effectiveness, and conclude with next steps and final thoughts.
