Abstract:
|
This panel session will be comprised of three recent recipients of the Waller Education Award from the Section on Statistical Education and the American Statistical Association, given for innovation in the instruction of elementary statistics. Each panelist will briefly present his/her academic background and path to getting involved in statistics education followed by a longer discussion of areas of his/her previous and current work that has impacted the broader statistics education movement. Areas of discussion will include: developing a new undergraduate course for a broad audience emphasizing quantitative literacy, implementing new curricula in statistics for current and future secondary mathematics teachers, and developing new course materials for teaching statistical inference in the introductory statistics course. Each panelist will then offer his/her ideas of important areas for future innovation in statistics education.
