CRITICAL QUESTIONS FOR BIG DATA
Provocations for a cultural,
technological, and scholarly
phenomenon
The era of Big Data has begun. Computer scientists, physicists, economists, mathemati-
cians,political scientists,bio-informaticists,sociologists,and other scholars areclamoring
for access to the massive quantities of information produced by and about people, things,
and their interactions. Diverse groups argue about the potential benefits and costs of ana-
lyzing genetic sequences, social media interactions, health records, phone logs, govern-
ment records, and other digital traces left by people. Significant questions emerge.
Will large-scale search data help us create better tools, services, and public goods? Or
will it usher in a new wave of privacy incursions and invasive marketing? Will data ana-
lytics help us understand online communities and political movements? Or will it be used
to track protesters and suppress speech? Will it transform how we study human communi-
cation and culture, or narrow the palette of research options and alter what ‘research’
means? Given the rise of Big Data as a socio-technical phenomenon, we argue that it
is necessary to critically interrogate its assumptions and biases. In this article, we offer
six provocations to spark conversations about the issues of Big Data: a cultural, techno-
logical, and scholarlyphenomenonthatrests ontheinterplayof technology, analysis, and
mythology that provokes extensive utopian and dystopian rhetoric.

Big Data, new epistemologies and
paradigm shifts
Rob Kitchin
Abstract
This article examines how the availability of Big Data, coupled with new data analytics, challenges established epistemol-
ogies across the sciences, social sciences and humanities, and assesses the extent to which they are engendering para-
digm shifts across multiple disciplines. In particular, it critically explores new forms of empiricism that declare ‘the end of
theory’, the creation of data-driven rather than knowledge-driven science, and the development of digital humanities and
computational social sciences that propose radically different ways to make sense of culture, history, economy and
society. It is argued that: (1) Big Data and new data analytics are disruptive innovations which are reconfiguring in many
instances how research is conducted; and (2) there is an urgent need for wider critical reflection within the academy on
the epistemological implications of the unfolding data revolution, a task that has barely begun to be tackled despite the
rapid changes in research practices presently taking place. After critically reviewing emerging epistemological positions, it
is contended that a potentially fruitful approach would be the development of a situated, reflexive and contextually
nuanced epistemology.

Introduction
Revolutions in science have often been preceded by
revolutions in measurement. Sinan Aral (cited in
Cukier, 2010)
Big Data creates a radical shift in how we think about
research . . .. [It offers] a profound change at the levels
of epistemology and ethics. Big Data reframes key
questions about the constitution of knowledge, the pro-
cesses of research, how we should engage with informa-
tion, and the nature and the categorization of
reality . . . Big Data stakes out new terrains of objects,
methods of knowing, and definitions of social life.
(boyd and Crawford, 2012)
As with many rapidly emerging concepts, Big Data has
been variously defined and operationalized, ranging
from trite proclamations that Big Data consists of data-
sets too large to fit in an Excel spreadsheet or be stored
on a single machine (Strom, 2012) to more
sophisticated ontological assessments that tease out its
inherent characteristics (boyd and Crawford, 2012;
Mayer-Schonberger and Cukier, 2013). Drawing on
an extensive engagement with the literature, Kitchin
(2013) details that Big Data is:
. huge in volume, consisting of terabytes or petabytes
of data;
. high in velocity, being created in or near real-time;
. diverse in variety, being structured and unstructured
in nature;
. exhaustive in scope, striving to capture entire popu-
lations or systems (n ¼ all);

19. 1. As a tool for quality assurance and quality
improvement - with many teaching sta using data to
improve their own practice, and many institutions
proactively using learning analytics as a diagnostic tool
on both an individual level (e.g. identifying issues) and a
systematic level (e.g. informing the design of modules
and degree programmes).
2. As a tool for boosting retention rates – with
institutions using analytics to identify at risk students –
and intervening with advice and support – at an earlier
stage than would otherwise be possible.
20. 3. As a tool for assessing and acting upon
differential outcomes among the student population
– with analytics being used to closely monitor the
engagement and progress of sub-groups of students.
4. As an enabler for the development and
introduction of adaptive learning – i.e. personalised
learning delivered at scale, whereby students are
directed to learning materials on the basis of their
previous interactions with, and understanding of,
related content and tasks.

Analíticas de aprendizaje y aprendizaje adaptativo
Plazo estimado para su implementación: un año o menos
L
a analítica de aprendizaje es una aplicación educa-
tiva de analítica web dirigida a un perfil de alumnos,
un proceso de recopilación y análisis de datos sobre
la interacción individual de los estudiantes con las
actividades de aprendizaje online. El objetivo es
crear nuevas pedagogías, fortalecer el aprendizaje acti-
vo, reconocer la población en riesgo entre los estudiantes
y evaluar los factores que afectan a la finalización de los
estudios y al éxito de los estudiantes. Las tecnologías de
aprendizaje adaptativo aplican las analíticas de apren-
dizaje mediante software y plataformas online, adaptán-
dolas a las necesidades individuales de los estudiantes.
Un documento de Tyton Partners describe el aprendizaje
adaptativo como un “enfoque sofisticado, basado en da-
tos y, en algunos casos, no lineal aplicado a la formación y
recuperación,queseajustaalasinteraccionesdelalumno
y al nivel de rendimiento demostrado y, como consecuen-
cia prevé qué tipo de contenido y recursos necesitan los
alumnos en un momento específico para poder progre-
sar.”252
En este sentido, las herramientas de educación
contemporáneas son capaces, hoy en día, de aprender la
manera en que las personas aprenden. Habilitadas por la
tecnología de aprendizaje automático, pueden adaptarse
de aprendizaje híbrido y en línea, donde las actividades de
los estudiantes pueden ser monitorizadas por programas y
aplicaciones de seguimiento. Muchos editores y empresas
digitales de aprendizaje se centran en el aprendizaje
adaptativoparareinventarsusserviciosbásicosdedesarrollo
de libros de texto y material didáctico.256
Por ejemplo,
Pearson se ha asociado con Knewton para desarrollar
MyLab & Mastering,257
McGraw-Hill ha lanzado ALEKS,258
y Macmillan ofrece acceso a la tecnología adaptativa de
PrepU.259
Los resultados iniciales son prometedores; en
asociación con Knewton y Pearson, la nueva plataforma
de aprendizaje adaptativo en matemáticas de desarrollo
de la Arizona State University está dando lugar a un
mejor rendimiento de los estudiantes que en la oferta de
cursos tradicionales.260
Los líderes de opinión creen que el
aprendizaje adaptativo continuará avanzando a medida
que la educación superior adquiere conciencia de él, adopta
las normas del plan de estudios, y hace un seguimiento
sistemático de la marcha del alumno.261
Hay un número creciente de iniciativas que reúne a
empresas privadas y a instituciones educativas para dar
forma al futuro de aprendizaje adaptativo. Las iniciativas

(Received 13 March 2014; accepted 28 April 2014)
The generation and processing of data through digital technologies is an
integral element of contemporary society, as reflected in recent debates
over online data privacy, ‘Big Data’ and the rise of data mining and ana-
lytics in business, science and government. This paper outlines the signifi-
cance of digital data within education, arguing for increased interest in the
topic from educational researchers. Building on themes from the emerging
sub-field of ‘digital sociology’, the paper outlines a number of ways in
which digital data in education could be questioned along social lines.
These include issues of data inequalities, the role of data in managerialist
modes of organisation and control, the rise of so-called ‘dataveillance’
and the reductionist nature of data-based representation. The paper con-
cludes with a set of suggestions for future research and discussion, thus out-
lining the beginnings of a framework for the future critical study of digital
data and education.
Keywords: digital data; education; analytics; measurement
Introduction
The prominence of data as a social, political and cultural form has risen signifi-
cantly in recent years. Of course, the process of collecting measurements, obser-
vations and statistics together for reference and/or analysis has taken place for
centuries. Yet the past 20 years or so have seen the increased recording, storage,
manipulation and distribution of data in digital form (usually through compu-
ters). In this sense, digital forms of data are now being generated and processed
on an unprecedented scale. This shift is often described in terms of ‘three Vs’ of
volume, velocity and variety – i.e., increases in the amount of data that is now
being produced; the speed in which this data can be produced and processed and
the range of data types and sources that now exist (Laney 2001). Yet digital data
are also distinct from pre-digital forms by being exhaustive in scope, highly
