The contracts are complex. Consumers usually lack the capacity to compare various retirement village contracts with each other or with other arrangements. We have designed a methodology for comparing such contracts via a comparison rent and other metrics. We are working towards developing a free online publicly available calculator and relevant educational material to facilitate informed decision making by consumers. Our proposed calculator will utilise publicly available data on mortality and disability to model survival of resident status. It will compute various metrics that measure the costs, benefits and risks of these contracts. These metrics vary with age, gender, and health characteristics. These freely (soon) available resources are intended to educate both consumers and their advisors / families in statistical, health, and financial literacy when they need to make an important decision towards the end of their lives.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"58 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120990643","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 education is brought to life through the use of interesting and relevant data to engage learners in their tasks. The poster illustrates some key aspects of the import facilities and presents the richness of the inbuilt data library. It mentions some of the key ways in which these file features can and have been used for teaching and learning to change this situation. Particular attention will be drawn to the value of a true problem based approach where the students start with a problem and some data and are free to use an appropriate methods for the analysis. The key to this approach is to have data which is rich enough that a combination of approaches yields more insights than any single analysis. Transforming statistics education with R-Instat and projects could be a first step towards an African Data Revolution.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"180 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":"133925361","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}

Applying the qualitative method of participative observation I will present the outcomes obtained in many years of teaching. When the education law was implemented, statistics was incorporated into the math programs, but the teachers, as in their curriculum did not have statistics, had no knowledge about it; they need training and that was a great challenge. So, professors of statistics from the university were called to capacitate teachers. I was one of them. I taught statistics to kindergarten teachers and the results were amazing, then to teachers of initial and secondary level. I will present some papers done by the students since the practice was the feed-back with the students in the classrooms. As a university professor I am in charge of Biostatistics at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences of the National University of Rosario. I also teach on postgraduate courses of Statistics and to elderly people as extension function. This macro vision of teaching statistics and the results show how the teaching of statistics has no age limits.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"38 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114118093","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}

The project operates under the IASE. In 2009, the project was strengthened by setting up a three- person executive team and a network of country coordinators for the project. At the moment, the ISLP has over 90 country coordinators on all continents. Their duty is to be promoters of statistical literacy in their countries. The aim of this presentation is to describe and analyse the activity of country coordinators and ways of advancing statistical literacy in each country. In 2016, the ISLP asked for reports from country coordinators on their activity and received almost 50 responses. Over one-half of the reports came from developing countries and a significant part from Africa. The paper presents a summary of the country coordinators’ reports.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"226 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":"121127247","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}

Meireles","doi":"10.52041/srap.17402","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52041/srap.17402","url":null,"abstract":"Communication professionals increasingly need to be able to read and critically comment on statistical data to communicate statistical information fittingly. Consequently, Statistics play an important role in the education of these professionals. Unfortunately, in Portugal most of the students who intend to become communication professionals do not feel at ease with numbers, mathematics or statistics. To engage our students and motivate them to learn, we have selected working groups themes related to their courses and used statistical information available in the real world. With this approach, we expect to get students more involved, make them familiar with using statistical information and let them increase their statistical skills. Therefore, everybody in the classroom, both students and teachers, are likely to become more motivated.","PeriodicalId":421900,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Statistics in a Data Rich World IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130252964","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}
