15 pagesPublished: May 1, 2023

Abstract

While data science education may be a solution in democratising data science, there are challenges towards achieving this. One of the challenges is the shortage of qualified academic staff members, who are able to deliver a multidisciplinary curriculum.
Teaching data science is a developing topic and represents a gap in the literature as we embark on the journey of discovering the knowledge required to teach data science. This study aimed to gain insight into instructors’ perceptions on their skills and competencies in teaching data science

Keyphrases: analytics, data science education, pck, pedagogy
