The article discusses curriculum issues and pedagogical techniques connected to developing Big Data competencies. The following objectives are targeted: The importance and impact of making rational, data driven decisions in the Big Data era; Complexity of developing and exploring a Big Data Application in solving real life problems; Learning skills to adopt and explore emerging technologies; and Knowledge and skills to interpret and communicate results of data analysis via combining domain knowledge with system expertise. The curriculum covers: The two general uses of Big Data Analytics Applications, which are well distinguished from the point of view of end-user's objectives (presenting and visualizing data via aggregation and summarization [data warehousing: data cubes, dash boards, etc.] and learning from Data [data mining techniques]); Organization of Data Sources: distinction of Master Data from Operational Data, in particular; Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) process; and Informing vs. Misinforming, including the issue of over-trust vs. under-trust of obtained analytical results.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/ijdldc.2017040102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,30]],"date-time":"2017-10-30T18:13:52Z","timestamp":1509387232000},"page":"14-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Data Literacy"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5780-3117","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dimitar","family":"Christozov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"American University in Bulgaria, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria"}]},{"given":"Katia","family":"Rasheva-Yordanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Library Studies and Information Technologies, Sofia, Bulgaria"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"IJDLDC.2017040102-0","article-title":"Teaching Business Intelligence in an Undergraduate Liberal Arts Institution","author":"D.Christozov","year":"2013).","journal-title":"Proceedings Knowledge Management Conference"},{"key":"IJDLDC.2017040102-1","unstructured":"Christozov, D., & Bronasko, A.
