Analysis of International Students Knowledge Acquisition in Data Science Education at Private Liberal Arts University

Abstract

　While most universities require students to study mathematical and data science at the elementary level, the number of international students is increasing even in small liberal arts universities. In the face of language barriers, lack of prerequisite knowledge, and differences in educational curricula, we devised textbooks and lecture content to provide data science education to international students in the same way as Japanese students, and ascertained the status of knowledge acquisition by the students. As a result, it was shown that international students have the same level of understanding of data science as Japanese students.
