A series of papers at this conference have built on the African Data Initiative (ADI) which was started to improve statistical literacy and understanding. One immediate deliverables of this initiative has been new statistical software which is free, easy-to-use, open source and which encourages good statistical practice. Here we show how this software together with other open educational resources can be used to improve statistics teaching. This is demonstrated using an undergraduate course which was offered to about 300 students at Maseno University, Kenya. The resources include those from an e-learning course, called e-SMS (Statistics Made Simple) and an electronic statistics book called Computer Assisted Statistics Textbook (CAST). The course also made extensive use of Moodle to enable a “blended” approach to be undertaken.
本次会议上的一系列论文建立在非洲数据倡议(ADI)的基础上,该倡议旨在提高统计素养和理解。这项计划的一个直接成果是新的统计软件,它是免费的,易于使用的,开源的,并鼓励良好的统计实践。在这里,我们展示了该软件如何与其他开放教育资源一起用于改善统计学教学。肯尼亚马塞诺大学为大约300名学生开设的一门本科课程证明了这一点。这些资源包括电子学习课程e-SMS(简单统计)和电子统计书籍计算机辅助统计教科书(CAST)。该课程还广泛使用Moodle来实现“混合”方法。

In the first session of the school year, the researcher faced this question by a student: 'why can't we learn mathematics and statistics while we can succeed in other subject matters with little amount of effort?' Of course, facing such a question was not beyond expectation; many students in Iran and other countries may ask such a question. Skamp (1976), Serpinka (1998), Freudental (1982) support this point. Based on his experience, the researcher considered Skamp's theoretical framework on schemata, and learning in structuralist viewpoint as suitable to account for this question. The student's role is regarded as vital. The research findings were put into practice in the class by the researcher, which yielded satisfactory results. The present study first gives a discussion on the students' meaningful theoretical infrastructure of the mathematical knowledge, then presents the research results.
在新学年的第一学期,研究人员面对一个学生提出的问题:“为什么我们不学习数学和统计学,而我们可以在其他科目上不费什么功夫就能取得成功?”当然,面对这样的问题并非出乎意料;伊朗和其他国家的许多学生可能会问这样的问题。Skamp (1976), Serpinka (1998), Freudental(1982)支持这一观点。根据自己的经验,研究者认为斯坎普关于图式的理论框架和结构主义观点的学习适合解释这个问题。学生的作用被认为是至关重要的。研究者将研究结果在课堂上付诸实践,取得了满意的效果。本研究首先讨论了学生数学知识的有意义的理论基础,然后介绍了研究结果。

In the centrally planned economy the main function of official statistics was monitoring of plans’ execution. Hence, official statisticians had to be experts in economics and bookkeeping, like tax inspectors. Russian statistical education was oriented mostly to official needs and statistics was included in the same educational group as economics. Currently, professional requirements for statisticians have changed. Official statistics lost its control function, and the old reporting system is being replaced by sample surveys that are less onerous for respondents and also less expensive. The statistical agency needs more professionals in survey methodology, as well as statistical managers and mathematicians. In 2015, the new professional standard "statistician" was accepted in Russia in line with ISCO 2008. It consists of set of competences for professionals in data collection, processing, analysis and methodology in any field of activity, including business, finance, science, medicine. In 2016, the educational classification of statistics was changed to the same group as mathematics. A new educational standard for statistics was also accepted. This presentation describes part of the reconstructive process.
在中央计划经济中,官方统计的主要功能是监督计划的执行。因此,官方统计人员必须像税务稽查员一样,是经济学和簿记方面的专家。俄罗斯的统计教育主要面向官方需要,统计与经济学被列入同一教育类别。目前,对统计学家的专业要求发生了变化。官方统计失去了控制功能,旧的报告系统正被抽样调查所取代,抽样调查对受访者来说不那么繁重,也不那么昂贵。统计机构需要更多的调查方法方面的专业人员,以及统计管理人员和数学家。2015年,新的职业标准“统计学家”在俄罗斯被接受,符合ISCO 2008。它包括一套专业人员在任何活动领域的数据收集、处理、分析和方法方面的能力,包括商业、金融、科学、医学。2016年,统计学的教育分类改为与数学同属一类。还接受了一项新的统计学教育标准。本报告描述了部分重建过程。

We designed and developed a statistics course “Data & chance for primary school” that aims at developing content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and technological knowledge of preservice primary school teachers. The course consists of weekly lectures where the content and the technological knowledge components are developed and of a weekly accompanying small- group seminar. The course is designed with statistical reasoning learning environment principles; interface tasks that bridge content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge play a fundamental role in the course. Three topics are taught: data analysis, combinatorics, and introduction into probability via stochastic simulations. The first results—from online surveys before and after the course (n=189), evaluation of participants’ written homework assignments, and a written test administered after the course—show that statistical thinking of our preservice teachers improves over time and that they show more positive attitudes towards statistics after having attended the course.
我们设计并开发了一门以培养小学职前教师的内容知识、教学内容知识和技术知识为目标的统计学课程“Data & chance for primary school”。该课程包括每周的讲座,其中内容和技术知识组成部分的发展和每周伴随的小组研讨会。课程设计遵循统计推理学习环境原则;连接内容知识和教学内容知识的界面任务在课程中起着重要作用。教授三个主题:数据分析、组合学和通过随机模拟介绍概率。第一个结果——来自课程前后的在线调查(n=189),对参与者书面作业的评估,以及课程后进行的笔试——表明,我们的职前教师的统计思维随着时间的推移而提高,他们在参加课程后对统计表现出更积极的态度。

Plenary lecture: statistics capacity building in a developing country – experiences, opportunities and challenges 全体演讲:发展中国家的统计能力建设——经验、机遇和挑战
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17102

Statistics Capacity Building has traditionally been associated with building capacity in Official Statistics, i.e. the capability to collect, analyze and disseminate high quality data in a timely manner and analysing the data for effective functioning of government, the economy and society. Statistical Capacity Building in the 21st century encompasses the capability to deliver relevant statistics training for the needs in ALL areas of official statistics, as well as public and private sectors, academia, and research centres. This calls for education systems to deliver effective and updated statistics training across the spectrum, from basic data literacy to high level straining in the statistical sciences. Challenges faced when building statistics capacity across the spectrum are well documented, however in developing countries, these challenges are similar, but often on a larger scale and more critical.
 The author will give an overview of lessons learnt and experiences in sta- tistics capacity building initiatives in a developing country, at all levels in South Africa (school to PhD), over a period of more than 25 years.
统计能力建设传统上与官方统计能力建设有关,即及时收集、分析和传播高质量数据的能力,并分析数据以促进政府、经济和社会的有效运作。21世纪的统计能力建设包括提供相关统计培训的能力,以满足官方统计所有领域以及公共和私营部门、学术界和研究中心的需求。这就要求教育系统在各个领域提供有效和最新的统计培训,从基本的数据素养到统计科学的高级培训。在建立全谱统计能力时所面临的挑战是有目可睹的,但在发展中国家,这些挑战是类似的,但往往规模更大,也更关键。
作者将概述一个发展中国家在南非各级(从学校到博士)的统计能力建设倡议中吸取的教训和经验,时间超过25年。

The power of balancing in a data-rich material world: teaching introductory mathematics and statistics to biology students 在一个数据丰富的物质世界中平衡的力量:教生物学学生入门数学和统计学
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17403

The present study analyzed the satisfaction level of first-year biology students exposed to two sorts of learning activities while taking an introductory course on quantitative methods. Using a handbook of practices in Quantitative Methods in Biology, first-year Biology students carried out different activities involving data collection, statistical analysis and construction of graphical models. At the end of the term, students were asked to contrast their learning activities with and without the use of virtual learning tools. Most students declared both approaches useful in their learning process, but preferred the production of their own data without the intervention of technology or virtual/computerized tools. The pattern of responses found in the survey, along with the wide array of situations a first-year biology student may well encounter in the future, suggest that learning experiences of biology majors should balance virtualization and empirical work “in the material world”.
本研究分析了一年级生物学学生在学习定量方法入门课程时,对两种学习活动的满意度。生物学一年级学生使用《生物学定量方法》实践手册,开展了不同的活动,包括数据收集、统计分析和图形模型的构建。在学期结束时,学生们被要求对比使用和不使用虚拟学习工具的学习活动。大多数学生声称这两种方法在他们的学习过程中都很有用,但他们更喜欢在没有技术或虚拟/计算机化工具干预的情况下生产自己的数据。调查中发现的回答模式,以及生物学一年级学生未来可能遇到的各种各样的情况,表明生物学专业的学习经历应该平衡“物质世界”中的虚拟化和实证工作。

Perceived usefulness of the introductory statistics course as a correlate of student engagement in statistics 统计入门课程的感知有用性与学生参与统计相关
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17312

Some non-academic factors, particularly perceived usefulness, are salient determinants of student success, and engagement in a discipline. This study explored the association between college students’ ratings of the usefulness of an introductory statistics course, their beliefs about where statistics will be most useful, and their intentions to take another statistics course. A cross-sectional study of 106 students was conducted. The mean rating for usefulness was 4.7 (out of 7), with no significant difference by gender and age. Sixty-four percent reported that they would consider taking another statistics course, and that subgroup rated the course as more useful (p = .01). Thirty-five percent reported that statistics would be most useful for graduate school, 32% research, 14% their job, and 19% were undecided. The “undecided” students rated statistics as less useful (p = .001). Instructors should emphasize practical examples of the use of data in real-world problem-solving and decision-making. Qualitative research methods could help to elucidate these findings.
一些非学术因素,特别是感知有用性,是学生成功和参与一门学科的显著决定因素。本研究探讨了大学生对统计学入门课程有用性的评分,他们对统计学在哪里最有用的信念,以及他们选修另一门统计学课程的意图之间的联系。对106名学生进行了横断面研究。有用性的平均评分为4.7(满分7分),性别和年龄没有显著差异。64%的人报告说他们会考虑选修另一门统计学课程,并且该小组认为这门课程更有用(p = 0.01)。35%的人认为统计学对研究生最有用,32%的人认为统计学对研究最有用,14%的人认为统计学对他们的工作最有用,19%的人还没有决定。“未决定”的学生认为统计数据不太有用(p = .001)。教师应强调在现实问题解决和决策中使用数据的实际例子。定性研究方法可以帮助阐明这些发现。

Making multilevel data ideas more accessible 使多层数据思想更易于访问
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17202
D. Parsons, D. Stern, R. Stern
Each year increasing amounts of data are being produced and there are growing trends towards data becoming more accessible, particularly online. Here we present a range of examples where data are conveniently arranged in multiple linked rectangles or data frames. They are often omitted from all but advanced statistics courses. However, they are common in practice, hence their omission leaves graduates poorly prepared for real world problems. The obvious example is a survey that is at multiple levels. Other examples include multiple time series with spatial data, where the spatial information is in a separate data frame; and data sets in a single rectangle (data frame) but where the analyses are on summary data. The statistical software, R-Instat, resulting from the African Data Initiative is designed to make it easy to handle such data.
每年产生的数据量都在增加,而且越来越多的趋势是数据变得更容易获取,特别是在线数据。在这里,我们提供了一系列示例,其中数据方便地安排在多个链接的矩形或数据帧中。除了高级统计课程,它们经常被忽略。然而,它们在实践中很常见,因此它们的遗漏使毕业生对现实世界的问题准备不足。一个明显的例子是一个多层次的调查。其他示例包括具有空间数据的多个时间序列,其中空间信息位于单独的数据框架中;和数据集在一个矩形(数据框架),但其中的分析是在汇总数据。统计软件R-Instat是由非洲数据倡议组织(African Data Initiative)开发的,旨在简化处理此类数据的工作。

Teaching statistics at the civil service academy of Pakistan: an innovative endeavour 在巴基斯坦公务员学院教授统计学:一项创新的努力
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17315
S. Habibullah
In the developing world, there is a need to create awareness in civil servants regarding the importance of carrying out in-depth analyses of official data, in order to ensure policy-formulation aimed at improving the lives of the people. This paper reports on an attempt to achieve this at the first level of civil service, through an innovative approach in rendering a course entitled “Quantitative Tools for Decision-Making” to the probationary officers of the 43rd Common Training Program at the Civil Services Academy of Pakistan. The course was wholly based on data pertaining to the 2011 Punjab Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS 2011). Feedback from participants in the four-month-long course provides motivation for recommending the ongoing adoption of this approach at all levels of civil service. Similar strategies may prove to be worthwhile in many other developing countries of the world striving to create statistical awareness in civil servants.
在发展中世界,有必要使公务员认识到对官方数据进行深入分析的重要性,以便确保制定旨在改善人民生活的政策。本文报告了在公务员制度一级实现这一目标的尝试,方法是采用一种创新办法,向巴基斯坦公务员学院第43届共同培训方案的试用官员开设题为“决策的定量工具”的课程。该课程完全基于2011年旁遮普多指标类集调查(MICS 2011)的相关数据。在为期四个月的课程中,参加者的反馈意见为我们建议各级公务员继续采用这一方法提供了动力。世界上许多其他发展中国家努力提高公务员的统计意识,类似的战略可能证明是值得的。

Similar strategies may prove to be worthwhile in many other developing countries of the world striving to create statistical awareness in civil servants.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128992921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistics education in a post-truth era 后真相时代的统计教育
Pub Date : 2017-12-30 DOI: 10.52041/srap.17304

Post-truth refers to a climate where emotional reactions and personal beliefs are used more in shaping opinion and forming the basis for political action than is empirical evidence. Contempt for evidence is socially corrosive. It violates the core values of the statistical community, and poses an existential threat to the idea of evidence-informed decision making. The task of developing resistance to post-truth should be shared amongst everyone involved in statistics education. Here, we explore some possible responses as a community; we need to promote a non- partisan approach to promoting respect for high-quality evidence, and reasoning from evidence. We also need to look hard at our implicit acceptance of an ‘evidence-informed’ world view – when does the statistical and scientific community claim too much? After some scene setting (a brief introduction to the problem, and ideas on solutions from groups such as fact-checkers, social media platform providers, and journalists), we explore ways in which introductory statistics courses could be adapted to incorporate ‘anti-post-truth’ activities, then conclude with some ideas about how statistics educators can contribute to efforts from the broader community that depends on statistical literacy, and that is threatened by post-truth.
后真相指的是一种氛围,在这种氛围中,情感反应和个人信仰更多地用于形成观点和形成政治行动的基础,而不是经验证据。藐视证据对社会是有害的。它违背了统计界的核心价值观,并对循证决策的理念构成了生存威胁。培养对后真相的抵抗力的任务应该由参与统计教育的每个人共同承担。在这里,我们作为一个社区探讨了一些可能的回应;我们需要提倡一种非党派的方法来促进对高质量证据的尊重,以及从证据中推理。我们还需要认真审视我们对“循证”世界观的含蓄接受——统计和科学界什么时候声称得太多了?经过一些场景设置(对问题的简要介绍,以及事实核查员、社交媒体平台提供商和记者等团体对解决方案的想法),我们探索了将入门统计课程纳入“反后真相”活动的方法,然后总结了统计教育者如何为依赖统计素养的更广泛社区的努力做出贡献的一些想法,这些社区受到后真相的威胁。
