Abstract:
|
Time Series has been a topic in the New Zeland curriculum since 1996. New Zealand is one of the few countries that include time series specifically in the secondary school curriculum. This paper disccusses the motivation for its inclusion and examines the changes in the teaching and learning of time series that have occurred since its introduction over 25 years ago. Changes include the integration of data visualisation software into the teaching, learning and assessment of this topic as well as a shift in emphasis to encourage the development of higher levels of reasoning. Challenges and opportunities for teachers and students are identified and pedagogical solutions are presented. Finally some suggestions for handling Covid-19 afffected time series within the limitations of the secondary school curriculum are presented.
