Summary
This study defines data literacy as critical thinking to combat online disinformation. It analyzes 22 gamified tools, offering guidelines for developing better educational technologies to improve fake news resilience.
Area of Science:
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Information Science
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Rising online disinformation necessitates tools to improve data literacy.
- Gamification is frequently used in these tools to boost engagement.
- Lack of systematic criteria hinders evaluation of tool effectiveness for fake news resilience.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an operationalizable definition of data literacy as multidimensional critical thinking.
- To survey and classify existing gamified tools for data literacy.
- To provide guidelines for developing more effective educational HCI tools.
Main Methods:
- Defined data literacy as multidimensional critical thinking.
- Surveyed 22 human-computer interaction tools.
- Classified tools using a framework of 10 criteria (gameful design, educational features).
- Conducted comparative/contrastive analysis informed by a focus group.
Main Results:
- Proposed a framework for analyzing gamified data literacy tools.
- Identified key gameful design and educational features.
- Provided insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing tools.
Conclusions:
- A clear definition of data literacy is crucial for evaluating tools.
- Systematic criteria are needed to assess the impact of gamified tools on fake news resilience.
- Guidelines can inform the development of more effective educational technologies for critical thinking in the digital age.

Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Cognitive psychology is the field of psychology dedicated to examining how people think. It attempts to explain how and why we think the way we do by studying the interactions among human thinking, emotion, creativity, language, and problem-solving, as well as other cognitive processes. Cognitive psychology studies how information is processed and manipulated in remembering, thinking, and knowing.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
