General Call for Papers
The International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) and the
International Statistical Institute (ISI) are organizing the Sixth
International Conference on Teaching Statistics (ICOTS-6) which will be
hosted by the South African Statistical Association (SASA) at the
International Convention Centre in Durban from July 7 - 12, 2002.
The major aim of ICOTS-6 is to provide the opportunity for people from
around the world who are involved in statistics education to exchange ideas
and experiences, to discuss the latest development in teaching statistics
and to expand their network of statistical educators. The Conference will
include keynote speakers, invited speakers, contributed papers, workshops
and forums, demonstration lessons, roundtable sessions, poster sessions,
book and software displays, hands-on computer sessions and many
opportunities for the communication and exchange of experiences and ideas.
As the Conference theme for ICOTS-6 is "Developing a Statistically Literate
Society", special sessions on statistical literacy are planned. These will
include keynote presentations on statistical literacy and sessions and
discussions of the role of statistics in a number of everyday contexts.
ICOTS-6 Topics
Topic 1. Statistics Literacy
Topic 2. Statistics Education at the School Level
Topic 3. Statistics Education at the Post Secondary Level
Topic 4. Statistics Education/Training and the Workplace
Topic 5. Statistics Education and the Wider Society
Topic 6. Research in Statistics Education
Topic 7. Technology in Statistics Education
Topic 8. Other Determinants and Developments in Statistics Education
Topic 9. An International Perspective on Statistics Education
Topic 10. Contributed Papers
The scientific programme of the Conference has been prepared by the IASE
International Programme Committee, IPC, for ICOTS-6 on the basis of
suggestions received from many members. The IPC is in charge of the overall
co-ordination of the scientific programme. The IPC has agreed on a list of
topics for the invited paper sessions, and identified Topic Convenors who in
turn suggested Session Organizers, SO's, for approval of the IPC. The SO's
will assume responsibility for the organization of each invited paper
session. The topics of invited paper sessions and the SO's names and
addresses are now available on the ICOTS-6 IPC Website at
http://www.beeri.org.il/icots6/.
The Rules and Guidelines for Organisers of invited paper sessions will be
available in the IPC Website by the end of September 2000.
After extensive discussions, the IPC have regretfully come to the decision,
that refereeing procedures will not be implemented in ICOTS-6. If requested,
the IASE is normally happy to give permission for authors to submit their
papers (or a more comprehensive version) to other journals. If this occurs
the author must seek approval of the editor of the ICOTS-6 Proceedings and
the IASE President, and the paper is to have an acknowledgement saying "This
article was written for, and published in, the ICOTS-6 Proceedings and is
reprinted (in revised form, if relevant) here with the permission of the
IASE."
Important deadlines:
Invited papers: Expression of interest for invited sessions are to be
received by the relevant Session Organizer, or the IPC Chair by Oct. 15,
2000.
Invitations: Session Organizers will formally invite the speakers by Jan 31,
2001.
Abstracts - each invited speaker has to present a (provisional) title and an
abstract (no more than 500 words) of his/her presentation to their Session
Organizer by April 1st, 2001.
Final manuscript - the authors of invited papers are to submit the final
manuscript of their paper to their Session Organizer by December 1st, 2001.
Contributed papers: Expression of interest for contributed paper sessions
are to be submitted to Susan Starkings (starkisa@sbu.ac.uk) by December 1st,
2001. Papers not accepted for an invited speaker session will also be
considered for the contributed paper sessions.
Other presentations: Abstracts of posters, software demonstration and other
special sessions should be submitted to the IPC Executive by February 1st,
2002.
Details of the final submission arrangements of papers and other
presentations will be announced later.
The Committee is convinced that the ICOTS-6 academic and social programme
will provide a most rewarding experience. For more information please
contact the Conference Chair or the IPC Scientific Secretary.
