Announcement of Topic Study Group 12
(TSG-12) TEACHING AND LEARNING OF
STATISTICS Please note that the proposal submission
deadline has been postponed: The new deadline of TSG proposal submission is:
November 30, 2011. Call for
papers 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. How to
Contribute Participants who
would like to present their research in TSG-12 are requested to submit proposals
by November 30, 2011 to the ICME-12 Website http://www.icme12.org/ and to Dani Ben-Zvi and Jean-Claude Oriol by e-mail. The
proposal in English of up to 1,200 words has to include a title, author(s)’
name, e-mail, institution and country, abstract (up to 200 words), introduction,
brief literature review, methodology, key results, and references. The proposals
will be peer-reviewed, and if your proposal is accepted, you will be invited to
prepare a paper of no more than 8 pages (including references and appendices)
using the ICME-12 template (see http://www.icme12.org). The final accepted
papers should be submitted in the ICME-12 Website as well as sent to the
co-chairs via e-mail no later than April 10, 2012. The final program
of TSG-12 will be decided by the Organizing Team. We plan to include invited
talks, selected oral presentations, posters and rigorous discussions around key
issues in the study of statistics education. Deadlines November 30, 2011:
Proposal submission January 15, 2012:
Notification of acceptance April 10, 2012:
Submission of final manuscript TSG-12
