I appreciate an attempt to identify a new construct, but the thinking here is still too amorphous to benefit much from peer review.
I think the name for this construct needs help. “[Statistical literacy] is not about knowledge of statistical tools and techniques,” so why not call it something else? Contrast with literacy, graph literacy, numeracy, or lay rationalism. The construct definition is also missing:
This captures many of the things I think are covered by statistical literacy:
It is not...
It emphasises..
It suggests...
It tells...
Given that what the construct is hasn’t even been clearly stated, any propositions involving it have their wind taken out of their sails, but equally, any attempted critiques are just tilting at windmills.
All I can say is that whatever construct you’re working on, it might align with whatever Dan Luu does, which he doesn’t describe in any detail.
Thanks for the honest feedback! It is probably too early in my hobby research to share this, yes. My main hope is that it would resonate with someone else who might be more clear on what it is, and maybe even inspire some sort of measurement.
