>1. Notes and Comments
>
>In this Newsletter we are closing the debate about priority research
>questions in statistics education, which was started in SERN 1(2) with a
>paper by the Newsletter editors and was followed in SERN 2(1) by a number of
>reactions from statistics educators, with varied research experience and
>background. We are including a short note in this issue to summarise the
>main question raised by these colleagues, in the hope that some of you will
>take over the task of further developing some of these important questions
>and will contribute a short paper for future issues of the Newsletter.
>We are also reproducing a paper by Richard SCHEAFFER, currently President of
>the American Statistical Association and former Vice President of the IASE
>in this issue. The paper originally appeared in the Newsletter of the
>Section on Statistical Education of the American Statistical Association,
>Volume 7, No. 1, Winter 2001 and Dick has kindly agreed to reprint his paper
>in our Newsletter. We hope that the SERN readers will find it very
>informative as it provides an excellent perspective on the history and
>future of statistics education.
>
>An important factor related to learning statistics is students' attitudes,
>affects and beliefs. Research on the emotional components of statistics
>education is still very scarce; however, there is now a body of publications
>that come from mathematics education, education and psychology. We are
>including a bibliography on Emotional Mathematics that can help researchers
>in statistics education to enter this field and might be also of interest
>for statistics teachers and lecturers.
>
>Two main IASE activities are organising statistics education conferences and
>helping to develop new publications in the area of statistics education. The
>IASE Round Table Conferences are oriented to organise a collective process
>of reflection about an educational research problem, and, at the same time
>to produce a book with the main conclusions and debates about that problem.
>We are glad to announce the publication of the IASE and ISI book "Training
>Researchers in the Use of Statistics", that was produced as a consequence of
>the last Round Table Conference in Tokyo, 2000, a summary of which is
>included in this Newsletter.
>
>Once again we are approaching the Northern hemisphere Summer where a number
>of exciting conferences with statistics education sessions will be held.
>These conferences will provide an excellent opportunity to meet many friends
>from around the globe and to exchange ideas and experiences. In particular
>the IASE Invited papers Meetings at the 53 ISI Session in Seoul and the STRL
>Forum Programs are now in place, thanks to the effort of the organisers and
>speakers. The IPC and Local ICOTS-6 Committees have also done a great job in
>the past months and the Scientific Programme for the conference will be
>announced very soon. We are offering information about these and other
>forthcoming conferences in this issue.
>
>Notes: Throughout the Newsletter, IASE members' names are highlighted in
>capital letters.
