Informační gramotnost a interpretace dat

The topic of the thesis is statistical and cognitive biases as an integral part of information literacy. The main goal of the thesis is to review the literature on the most significant biases; then, based on the review, I make educational materials for a general audience. The material describing statistical biases is further supported by interactive web applications created in Shiny, which help deeper and easier understanding of the nature of the biases. Both, the written material and Shiny applications are presented on a publicly available website. The website may be beneficial to the general public in better searching, evaluating, and interpreting information; therefore, it may improve general information literacy. The importance of information literacy is increasing in the current world of ever-growing access to information.
