  • Statistics Course Web Sites: Beyond syllabus.html

    Author(s):
    Malone, C. J., & Bilder, C. R.
    Year:
    2001
    Abstract:
    Student-instructor and student-student interaction outside of the classroom are very important to learning statistics. A successful statistics course Web site increases these interactions by creating a forum for the instructor and students to communicate with statistical language. The development of a successful statistics course Web site involves determining the Web site's purpose, deciding what Web pages are needed, organizing the Web pages, implementing the Web site, and assessing the Web site. The purpose of this article is to discuss the development of a statistics course Web site for a Web-enhanced or Web-centric course and to provide a detailed example of one such course.

    Abstract:
    Some of you may not be familiar with the Quantitative Literacy Project (QLP) with which I have been involved, and this is expected. There are several copies of the 62 pages QLP Sampler available for you to look at. This publication provides some idea about the instructional material we have developed. It might be helpful to give you an overview of the QLP first, and then have a discussion and interchange of ideas.

    Abstract:
    This paper introduces the realization of the Bulgarian Management Training Institution Development Project in the Faculty of Economics, University of Veliko Turnovo: the aims and objectives, methodology, specific outcomes, and investigation of students' opinion. Developing statistical education for business-students, we focus on using the Internet as an agent of socialization of statistical information, specifically in the context of the Bulgarian situation. Analysis of teaching in the distance module "Statistics in Internet" shows that students do not have appropriate computer skills. We discuss importance of improving computer facilities and using computer based approach for training students in how to apply their statistical knowledge and literacy.

  • Statistics education and the communication of statistics: A report on the IASE/ISI satellite meeting.

    Author(s):
    Phillips, B.
    Editors:
    Rossman, A., & Chance, B.
    Year:
    2006
    Abstract:
    The International Association for Statistical Education, IASE, has a very strong commitment to the general development of statistical educators including research and the sharing of ideas and experiences. In particular the IASE/ISI satellite meetings are always very friendly, informative affairs as was the one in Sydney April 4-5, 2005. The theme was Statistics Education and the Communication of Statistics, it was jointly organised by the IASE and the Victorian Branch of the Statistical Society of Australia and immediately preceded the ISI session in Sydney. The theme of the conference was chosen because some IASE members felt that the communication of statistical methods and results needed more emphasis in our courses and wished to draw the attention of statistics educators to this area to encourage development and innovation. This paper summarises the main points the speakers made and the main issues that emerged.

    Editors:
    Rossman, A., & Chance, B.
    Year:
    2006
    Abstract:
    Basic subjects play an important role in engineering education. Applied Statistics may be regarded as a basic subject as well as a technical subject, and occupies therefore a central place in agro-forestry engineer professional curriculum. Statistics is present in some proportion in our whole life. With the purpose of implementing new methods for statistical learning, in the framework of European Higher Education Area, an experimental proof has been started during a quarter of academic year 2004/05 of the third class in the Faculty of Forestry Engineers from Polytechnic University of Madrid. Methodology was oriented for students to improve capacities of oral expression, information search, use of recent technologies and experience in knowledge analysis and synthesis, together with acquisition of minimum knowledge required in the subject.

  • Statistics education fin de siècle

    Author(s):
    Moore, D. S., Cobb, G. W., Garfield, J. B., and Meeker, W. Q.
    Year:
    1995
    Abstract:
    Higher education faces an environment of financial constraints, changing customer demands, and loss of public confidence. Technological advances may at last bring widespread change to college teaching. The movement for education reform also urges widespread change. What will be the state of statistics teaching at the university level at the end of the century? This article attempts to imagine plausible futures as stimuli to discussion. It takes the form of provocations by the first author, with responses from the others on three themes: the impact of technology, the reform of teaching, and challenges to the internal culture of higher education.

  • Statistics education In Hong Kong

    Author(s):
    Lam, L.
    Editors:
    Phillips, B.
    Year:
    2002
    Abstract:
    This paper presents an overview of statistics education in Hong Kong. While Statistics is not considered a major domain in school mathematics, it is incorporated into all levels of the mathematics curriculum starting with Primary Two. As Hong Kong is currently undergoing an education reform, statistics education is being directed towards a student-centered, activity-based, and hands-on approach with students encouraged to collect, present and interpret data, basing their work on concrete examples from everyday life whenever possible. Student learning is expected to progress from concrete to abstract, and calculators and computers are expected to be used to facilitate student learning. Implications of these approaches are also discussed.
