Analysis Function Learning Pathways
The Analysis Function develops pathways to help map your learning profile.
New 바카라 사이트淎nalysis Function Learning Pathways바카라 사이트� are currently being developed to bring together analytical courses from a range of providers, supporting the Function바카라 사이트檚 aim to develop analytical capability across government and complementing your Learning Curriculum journey.
Following the suggested sequence of complementary courses will help you to see where your learning could take you and provides suggestions on follow-up courses if you are interested in developing your learning further. The pathways will help you develop a stronger holistic understanding of analytical topics and be supported in continuing your progression more so than by taking a stand-alone course.
There are a variety of pathways available, with one to suit you whether you are a coding whizz or have done no analysis before. Each pathway has an attached persona, helping you understand which pathway is the right one for you.
We바카라 사이트檒l provide more updates on this exciting launch right here on our website and also in the Analysis Function Newsletter, email the team to subscribe today at analysis.function@ons.gov.uk and make sure you don바카라 사이트檛 miss a thing. In the meantime, to give you an idea of what you can expect from each pathway, why not explore these examples:
Communicating Insights
Communicating insight is extracting insights and information from data and communicating them to decision-makers in a way they바카라 사이트檒l easily understand. It is as important as researching or analysing data. This pathway will provide you with a basic understanding of risk and issues surrounding statistical disclosure, communicating quality, change and uncertainty as well as best practices of conveying your message using visual aids.
After completing the three courses in this pathway you should be able to:
- Understand the key risk of statistical disclosure while communicating바카라 사이트痽our results.
- Describe the principles and issues of communicating quality,바카라 사이트痷ncertainty, and change for effective communication.
- Understand the existing guidance to improve publications.
- Communicate the results using visual aids by following best practices.
Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP)
focus on the use of open-source바카라 사이트痑nalytical tools and a variety of techniques from various fields such바카라 사이트痑s바카라 사이트痵oftware development, software engineering, analytics and바카라 사이트痗ollaboration, in order to deliver reproducible, testable and auditable바카라 사이트痑nalysis pipelines. This pathway aims to provide a high-level바카라 사이트痷nderstanding and hands on practice with open-source tools and바카라 사이트痑pproaches to develop automated high-quality reproducible research바카라 사이트痯ractices while removing any manual/semi-manual processes.
After completing the eight courses in this pathway, you should be able to:
- Demonstrate a hands-on understanding of open-source analytical바카라 사이트痶ools for developing reusable automated data pipelines.
- Use GitHub to track changes made to the code in a collaborative바카라 사이트痙evelopment바카라 사이트痚nvironment.
- Test,바카라 사이트痙ocument and package code in R and Python using바카라 사이트痳eproducible programming techniques.
- Understand the role of a continuous integration pipeline towards development, testing바카라 사이트痑nd integration automation in a collaborative바카라 사이트痚nvironment.
Deciding which pathway to start with can sometimes feel confusing as trying to gauge if a course is pitched at the right level for you to build on your existing knowledge can be tricky.
To help you decide which pathway is right for you we have developed some useful personas.
Learning personas are designed to create a realistic바카라 사이트痳epresentation of the intended learning audience which will help you identify what learning is best suited to you.
Personas are created based on a variety of information from pre and post course surveys, learning needs analysis as well as one to one feedback from course participants and information/observations from learners looking for a course.
The personas are designed to be relatable to you and will give you an idea of whether a pathway will not only be at the right level but will also help you achieve your learning goals.
Communicating Insights Persona
General background
Alex works in policy and uses data to바카라 사이트痠nform his communications to stakeholders. He uses data바카라 사이트痠nsights to put forward proposals that will increase efficiency.
Starting point
Alex바카라 사이트檚 preferred method of communications is바카라 사이트痓usiness papers, however, more recently there has been a push바카라 사이트痶o make these shorter and move towards a more visual means바카라 사이트痮f communication.
Perceived needs
Alex would like to learn more about바카라 사이트痵tatistical disclosure control as this is something he has never바카라 사이트痳eally considered in his communications and how to create an바카라 사이트痠mpactful message visually.
Special considerations
Alex works part-time due to caring바카라 사이트痳esponsibilities so would prefer online self-study courses to allow more flexibility.
Benefits of this course
This pathway will provide you with a바카라 사이트痓asic understanding of risk and issues surrounding statistical바카라 사이트痙isclosure, communicating quality, change and uncertainty as바카라 사이트痺ell as best practices of conveying your message using visual바카라 사이트痑ids.바카라 사이트�
RAP Pathway persona
General Background
Sarah is an analyst who joined the analysis team a year바카라 사이트痑go.
Starting Point
Sarah attended an introduction to R course a year바카라 사이트痑go, and바카라 사이트痟as been바카라 사이트痷sing R in her work ever since.바카라 사이트疭arah바카라 사이트痠s able to바카라 사이트痗ode, but she finds it hard to repeat and바카라 사이트痳emember parts of her analysis months바카라 사이트痩ater.바카라 사이트�
Perceived Needs
Sarah produces the same quarterly report바카라 사이트痑nd would like to automate this and make quality assurance바카라 사이트痚asier.바카라 사이트疭he would바카라 사이트痩ike her colleagues to be able to use her바카라 사이트痗ode.
Special Considerations
Sarah바카라 사이트痙oesn바카라 사이트檛바카라 사이트痟ave a lot of time to바카라 사이트痠nvest in learning and would prefer not to read바카라 사이트痩arge amounts of바카라 사이트痶ext.
Benefits of this Course
This learning journey will help바카라 사이트痯articipants gain the technical tools and familiarity with best바카라 사이트痯ractice necessary to transform their work into Reproducible바카라 사이트疉nalytical Pipelines (RAP)
