For this reason, it is essential that students in these fields be exposed to statistical reasoning, data analysis, and computation early in their careers. With the current advances in the methodology for data analysis we can take advantage of the highly developed computer software. Nowadays the internet provides rapid feedback to the student and dissemination of the latest research information. This paper focuses on the teaching of biostatistics to health professionals with computer-based supplements; courseware, digital library of TV lectures on SAS and interactive communication through the Internet.","PeriodicalId":306178,"journal":{"name":"Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics IASE Roundtable Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128394963","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}

Research is thus regarded as a fundamental and indispensable activity. With the University facing the challenge of becoming competitive within the new structure of higher education in South Africa, a strategic plan for research in the Humanities and Social Sciences has resulted in a flexible blueprint for research development. The Research Resource Centre supports this initiative by facilitating research capacity development and research excellence within the University. This paper discusses the role of the Research Resource Centre in the provision of research training for social science researchers and provides details of the various workshops and seminars used to develop skills in the use of statistics and computer-based statistical packages.","PeriodicalId":306178,"journal":{"name":"Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics IASE Roundtable Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132467728","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}

They tend to focus on the analytical techniques that are critical to understanding and producing good quality statistical outputs. This paper adds to these discussions and looks at some of the main analytical issues that transpire from researchers accessing the particular form of statistical data sets in a national statistical office. However the conclusions are much more widely applicable to other data sets. It also considers the more practical, but very important skills and knowledge, applicable to all types of data, that a researcher needs, such as fashioning the data set into a format that is most useful to them, and ensuring they obtain access to data that will allow them to fulfil their research objectives.","PeriodicalId":306178,"journal":{"name":"Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics IASE Roundtable Conference","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123957255","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}

{"title":"Main research problems in the training of researchers","authors":"C. Batanero","doi":"10.52041/srap.00601","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52041/srap.00601","url":null,"abstract":"In this last chapter I will try to summarise the main arguments made in the preceding chapters and the points raised during the Tokyo IASE Round Table Conference debates. During a very productive week at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, we discussed the issues and problems concerning the Training of Researchers in the Use of Statistics. As suggested by Jolliffe, this is an extensive topic that involves consideration of statistics itself, the interaction between statisticians and researchers, and even the training of statisticians. My aim in writing this summary is to provide the reader with the view that emerged from our joint reflections about this complex issue and its many facets. The conclusions below are organised around the research questions initially set out in the Discussion Document, which is reproduced in the first chapter of the book, so that the extent to which those questions were taken into account in the different contributions can be more easily perceived. All the authors highlighted the relevance of improving researchers' statistical training and of making statisticians better acquainted with other research fields for ensuring an optimal communication between statisticians and researchers. However, it was also made clear from the arguments throughout the book that there are no easy or definitive answers to the questions raised. In addition to the complexity of the topic, little research has been done until now on the teaching of statistics to postgraduates and on the difficulties of learning advanced statistical topics. Even when some of the papers present examples of useful research and innovative teaching experiences, the Conference participants felt that there is an urgent need to increase research in this area. This chapter then presents not a list of final agreed solutions to the problems of training of researchers, but our view about the main areas in which further research on this field is needed. Some recommendations about ways in which the teaching of statistics might contribute to increasing statistical knowledge among researchers and to better use of statistics in experimental research are also made.","PeriodicalId":306178,"journal":{"name":"Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics IASE Roundtable Conference","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130055787","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}

There is a National Statistical Education Association. Under the Association, the Higher Education Branch is an organisation of colleges, universities and research institutes who have a major in statistics or a statistics faculty. Since China has a population of 1.25 billion and more than 100 thousand official statisticians in the whole country, statistics training is a huge task. There are degree and non-degree training programs. In the degree program, there are undergraduate programs (colleges and universities) and graduate programs (colleges, universities and research institutes). In the non-degree training, different training programs have been used. Statistical methods are widely used in almost all the fields. The most important application areas are: official statistical work including sampling survey and data processing, micro-economic analysis, management and quality improvement, medical application, agriculture and industry experiment, etc. Most researchers in the above fields need to be trained. Many patterns have been used in training. Class teaching, group discussion, field training, TV, broadcasting programs and Internet are the main patterns.","PeriodicalId":306178,"journal":{"name":"Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics IASE Roundtable Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129372679","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}
