SOCR News - 2009 ISI Special Session
Interactive, Data-Driven and Technology-Enhanced Approaches for Probability and Statistics Education
In this 2-hour special session we'll select and invite 4 speakers to give 20+5 min talks presenting their novel approaches for integrating 20+technology and modern pedagogical ideas in different types of probability and statistics classes. The focus of this session will be on hands-on utilization of research-generated data, tools for statistical computing and Web-based learning resources and instructional materials.
The presenters we will discuss ideas and activities for helping students to learn fundamental concepts of statistical inference with a randomization-based curriculum rather than normal-based inference. These approaches lead to deeper conceptual understanding, make clear connections between study design and scope of conclusions, and provide powerful and generalizable analysis frameworks.
