Masterclass: The importance of statistical literacy in research with Patricio Costa, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal Statistical literacy is increasingly vital in today's data-driven world, enabling individuals to critically interpret and evaluate statistical information. This masterclass explores how statistical literacy supports informed decision-making across all disciplines and enhances critical thinking when integrated into curricula. We will address the “data stork myth”, the misconception that data is self-explanatory without contextual analysis, highlighting the risks of passive consumption versus active engagement with data. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the importance of statistical literacy for research, education and decision-making in a complex and uncertain world.
