About Data, Information and Data Handling
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
The resources here follow the core ideas of data handling. Many start with the difference between data, information and knowledge. The quiz ICT - Data, information, and knowledge asks whether the two are the same thing and what sets them apart, using a short list of numbers as an example.
Others look at where data comes from. The mind map Direct & Indirect Data explains that with direct data the source and collection method are known and verified, and the exact data needed can be collected.
Quality, checks and capture
A large group of resources deals with data quality. The flashcard deck on accuracy, relevance, age, completeness, presentation and level of detail sets out why data must be reliable to be useful. The mind map Validation and Verification explains that validation aims to make data sensible, reasonable, complete and within acceptable boundaries, and that it can reduce errors but cannot stop them. A flashcard deck lists the checks by name: range, type, check digit, length, lookup, picture or format, and presence.
The quiz Data Capture asks what data capture is and whether it is automatic, manual or both.
Where to start
- Begin with a data, information and knowledge mind map, then take the matching quiz.
- Move to Direct & Indirect Data and the data capture quiz.
- Learn the checks with the validation flashcards, then test yourself on the validation and verification quizzes.
- Finish with the notes and maps on backup and recovery and data portability.
Using maps and quizzes together
Read a mind map first to see how the ideas connect. Then take a quiz without looking and note what you got wrong. Go back to the map or flashcards for those points only. Many resources are labelled by exam course, such as AS ICT, WJEC ICT or GCSE Computer Science, so look for the one that matches yours. Teachers can use the maps and decks as ready-made starters or revision material.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the Data, Information Systems and AI strand of Computing and ICT. Pick one topic today and see how far a single quiz takes you.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a mind map on data, information and knowledge, then take the quiz ICT - Data, information, and knowledge. The map gives you the definitions and the quiz checks that you can explain the difference. After that, move on to direct and indirect data.
What do the validation and verification resources cover?
They explain that validation checks data is sensible, reasonable and complete, while verification checks data is unchanged after processing or entered as expected. A flashcard deck names the checks, including range, type, check digit, length, lookup, format and presence checks.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. If you sign up for a free account, your quiz scores are saved and you can make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE ICT, A-level ICT, AS ICT, GCSE Computing, GCSE Computer Science, IGCSE ICT, WJEC ICT and AP Computer Science Principles, among others. Most are aimed at school students, so check a resource's title and content against your own course.
How many resources are there?
There are over 1,000 resources on this page, including more than 40 quizzes, over 600 mind maps and over 300 flashcard decks. Most are mind maps and flashcards, so there is plenty to revise from as well as a set of quizzes to test yourself.
What if I cannot find a topic I need?
Try a nearby topic first, such as backup and recovery, data portability or information in images. If it is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or quiz with a free account and keep it for revision.
