Quantitative Social Science Digital Library Pathway

This project was funded as part of the National Science Foundation digital libraries pathways. It sought to better understand how social science faculty addressed quantitative skills in undergraduate courses and then how to promote teaching and learning of quantitative skills through digital resources. SERC was involved in this project as the primary evaluator and conducted a mixed method study aimed at understanding how social science faculty use digital resources to support teaching situations that involve data analysis and skills related to quantitative literacy. Findings from a national survey that included over 1,000 social science faculty respondents and a follow on interview study with 27 faculty informed the selection and cataloguing of over 600 resources in the digital library hosted by Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan (ICPSR). The project also developed pedagogic modules that addressed teaching quantitative skills that were included in the SERC pedagogy in action project.
