The national initiative engages primary- and secondary-school students from varied backgrounds and education levels in quantitative-based investigations. It develops key future workplace skills aligned with national school-curriculum outcomes and motivates students by enabling them to take the lead, determine the context, collaborate, investigate, and create. An underlying delivery model connects primary- and secondary-school students with tertiary educators, industry, and the practice of statistics. A pre-post cross-sectional study revealed significant improvements in students’ and teachers’ confidence with, and awareness of, the field of statistics. Australian school teachers are saying, “21st Century learning at its best” and “motivates and engages students.” Industry mentors are saying, “provides students a unique opportunity.” Students are saying, “engaging, educational and enjoyable.” The activity has engaged some eighty schools, and annually several hundred students participate.\u0000First published February 2020 at Statistics Education Research Journal Archives","PeriodicalId":38581,"journal":{"name":"Statistics Education Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46857375","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}

Many degrees include at least one statistics subject for which students require a reasonable level of mathematical ability to successfully complete. Students’ efforts to grasp quantitative skills often lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and lack of self-confidence. The Mathematics Education Support Hub (MESH) at WSU provides free support in mathematics and statistics to all students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to increase their engagement, understanding, and abilities in statistics as well as to overcome their anxiety. In this paper we focus on the drop-in consultation service, which provides “just in time” help in campus libraries. Data is collected for every consultation, which enabling an investigation in relation to the mathematics background of students and the problematic topics in statistics. Text mining is used to examine students’ queries to identify the topics in statistics subjects that students struggle most with. Outcomes of this analysis can be used by statistics instructors and mathematics support centres to improve students’ experience in learning and to help to reduce statistics anxiety in future generations of statistics students. \u0000First published February 2020 at Statistics Education Research Journal Archives","PeriodicalId":38581,"journal":{"name":"Statistics Education Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41663069","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}

In particular, an interdisciplinary in-service model is proposed, which has the potential to better prepare educators to address institution-specific needs amidst dwindling resources. In particular, we present an outcome-based model for developing statistical capacity in research in response to the need for training statisticians in the academia. The aim of the programme was to equip selected faculty with the competencies needed to provide various forms of statistical support services in line with the research, extension, and publication mandate of a large private university in the Philippines. The programme was administered in three phases: (1) training phase, (2) statistical consulting and mentoring phase, and (3) “cascading or extension” phase. Evaluation of the outcome involves participants’ demonstration of learning in various statistical methods through serving as resource persons during the cascading activity and the documentation of the statistical consulting experiences made during the programme. \u0000First published February 2020 at Statistics Education Research Journal Archives","PeriodicalId":38581,"journal":{"name":"Statistics Education Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44898469","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}

People make their choice regarding university or job after school, and they choose jobs after university. These are very sensitive matters. Help in making the right choice is a real asset. The Russian Association of Statisticians (RASt) is an independent, non-profit organisation that does not provide statistical education as a university and does not collect and process data as a statistical institution. But RASt helps students, universities, and producers of statistical data find each other. The paper describes the activities of RASt which organises the school competition in statistics called “Trend” to support students in choosing a profession and the kick-off competition “Career” for university students to help them get to know their employers. The organisers of the competition for school children usually face a number of problems related to the young age of participants and to limited funding. If we are talking about such a country as huge as Russia, the problems increase. To solve these problems, organisers use a combination of competition of presentations about original statistical researches provided by school teams in regions and an online quiz on statistical topics at the final stage. Technologically, the entire process is supported by ROSSTAT with its IT network. The organisers hope that the competition will make the profession of statistician more popular in Russia and attract more students to statistical programmes in universities. \u0000First published February 2020 at Statistics Education Research Journal Archives","PeriodicalId":38581,"journal":{"name":"Statistics Education Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49470252","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}

Statistical skills and statistical reasoning can already be enhanced in primary school. Therefore, not only in Germany, statistics is an element of the primary-school curriculum, which usually includes issues of posing questions, collecting data, and of drawing displays such as pie charts or bar graphs. But to engage students and to start building future generations of statisticians at an early stage, more challenging incentives should engage students in meaningful statistical inquiries. In this paper, we describe activities that are part of a larger, long-term project that investigates how and if teaching units can be designed for primary schools and what their effect on students at that early age is. We focus on specific activities that have been tested for students at age 10. The empirical results show that – beyond learning techniques and the use of software (TinkerPlots) – the students acquired a way of statistical reasoning about the posed problems. Besides the cognitive development, we also documented the affective impact of our course on the young learners, which was very good. Our studies corroborate that it is possible to lead students to sophisticated statistical activities such as comparing groups with the help of suitable software. Furthermore, a positive attitude towards statistics could be observed as a result of the course, which may be the basis for further success in learning statistics. All in all, we can pave the way to the future generation of statisticians already at an early age in primary school. \u0000First published February 2020 at Statistics Education Research Journal Archives","PeriodicalId":38581,"journal":{"name":"Statistics Education Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48717727","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}
