[Forum SIS] Fwd: News ICME 12 TSG 12

[Maria Gabriella Ottaviani]

Invio le ultime novità sulle attività dello IASE.
Si tratta della partecipazione al convegno dell'ICME 2012.

Come potete vedere la ricerca educativa sull'insegnamento della statistica
si sta espandendo a livello internazionale in 
diversi settori, si calibra ed assume sempre più consistenza.

Cordiali saluti,

M. Gabriella Ottaviani

>TEACHING AND LEARNING OF STATISTICS
>
>Being able to provide sound evidence-based arguments and critically evaluate
>data-based claims are important skills that all citizens should have. It is
>not surprising therefore that statistics instruction at all educational
>levels is gaining more students and drawing more attention than it has in
>the past. The study of statistics provides students with tools, ideas and
>dispositions to use in order to react intelligently to information in the
>world around them. Reflecting this need to improve students’ ability to
>think statistically, statistical literacy and reasoning are becoming part of
>the mainstream school and university curriculum in many countries.
>
>As a consequence, statistics education is a growing and exciting field of
>research and development. Statistics at school level is usually taught in
>the mathematics classroom in connection with learning probability. Our topic
>includes probabilistic aspects in learning statistics, whereas research with
>a specific focus on learning probability is being discussed in TSG-11 of
>ICME-12.
>
>Within this broad domain and across educational levels, TSG-12 welcomes
>presentations on the following topics:
>
>1.      Students’ reasoning about key statistical concepts, such as data,
>distribution, variability, comparing distributions, sample and sampling, and
>covariation;
>
>2.      Students’ making statistical inferences (from informal inference
>to more formal inference, role of context, randomness, models and
>probability in the inferential process, etc.);
>
>3.      Statistical literacy (its role in the curriculum, the challenges in
>preparing teachers to teach with statistical literacy as a goal);
>
>4.      Role of technology in teaching and learning statistics (including
>software packages, simulations, Internet, online teaching, etc.);
>
>5.      Preparing teachers to teach statistics;
>
>6.      Teaching statistics, with particular attention to research on how to
>structure learning sequences that enable students to develop over time a
>deep conceptual understanding;
>
>7.      Building a common research basis that will enable the field of
>statistics education to move forward, in particular innovative ways to
>connect data and chance.
>
>The purpose of TSG-12 is to provide a forum for presentations of
>high-quality studies and discussions on the current state-of-the-art in
>these themes, seen from an international perspective as well as perspectives
>of different countries and cultures. During the conference, TSG-12 will
>convene for four one and a half hour timeslots.
