Abstract:
|
Do you believe that statistical thinking is at the core of a modern quantitative education? Project MOSAIC (www.mosaic-web.org) is a community of educators working to create a broader approach to quantitative studies by integrating several important elements of quantitative training: Modeling, Statistics, Computation and Calculus. In this roundtable, participants will learn about approaches to teach modeling and computation in statistics, and discuss ways to integrate these activities and approaches into their courses and curricula.
