Abstract
This chapter presents and analyzes (i) educational data literacy (EDL) conceptual definitions and their dimensions, (ii) existing EDL or EDL-relevant competence frameworks to identify key EDL competence dimensions and core competence statements per dimension, and (iii) EDL-relevant higher education and professional development courses to identify key EDL-related learning objectives which potentially can be matched to EDL competences. The definition of an Educational Data Literacy Competence Profile (EDL-CP) for key roles in digital education, including instructional designers and tutors of online and blended courses, as well as K12 school educators and leaders, at large, is recognized as an essential extension of existing relevant professional competence frameworks.
