“This book is a remarkable achievement” Gerd Gigerenzer This book offers practical approaches to working in a new field of knowledge - Civic Statistics - which sets out to engage with, and overcome well documented and long-standing problems in teaching quantitative skills. The book includes 23 peer-reviewed chapters, written in coordination by an international group of experts from ten countries. The book aims to support and enhance the work of teachers and lecturers working both at the high school and tertiary (university) levels. It is designed to promote and improve the critical understanding of quantitative evidence relevant to burning social issues – such as epidemics, climate cha...
This book is derived from selected papers from the Fourteenth International Congress on Mathematical Education Topic Study Group 12, Teaching and Learning Statistics. It describes recent research on curriculum, pedagogy and outreach initiatives from countries as diverse as Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The book has a focus on the use of data in the teaching and learning of statistics across grade levels and begins with an overview of the status of statistics education and the use of data from seven different countries across the continents and the link between research and practice in those countries. Because it contains specific examples of the research, for example, on the ways children learn, the choice and implementation of tasks, or the role of informal inference, the book will be a great resource to those interested and involved in the teaching of statistics, curriculum developers, and statistics education researchers.
This handbook connects the practice of statistics to the teaching and learning of the subject with contributions from experts in several disciplines. Chapters present current challenges and methods of statistics education in the changing world for statistics and mathematics educators. Issues addressed include current and future challenges in professional development of teachers, use of technology tools, design of learning environments and appropriate student assessments. This handbook presents challenging and inspiring international research perspectives on the history and nature, current issues, and future directions of statistics education and statistics education research.
Over the last decade, the concept of Civic Engagement in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) has led to lively discussions. This special issue about Civic Engagement in HEI in Europe presents workshop reports and scientific papers which have an implicit statement in common: we need to talk concrete and analytical about Civic Engagement activities, approaches and programs on a European and national level without celebrating only normative believes and visions. Furthermore, the contributions describe the starting point of a new field of empirical and theory oriented research.
Modern Mathematics is constructed rigorously through proofs, based on truths, which are either axioms or previously proven theorems. Thus, it is par excellence a model of rational inquiry. Links between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education have been particularly strong during the last decades. Indeed, the Enlightenment view of the rational human mind that reasons, makes decisions and solves problems based on logic and probabilities, was shaken during the second half of the twentieth century. Cognitive psychologists discovered that humans' thoughts and actions often deviate from rules imposed by strict normative theories of inference. Yet, these deviations should not be called "erro...
This compilation focuses on the theory and conceptualisation of statistics and probability in the early years and the development of young children’s (ages 3-10) understanding of data and chance. It provides a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge international research on the development of young learners’ reasoning about data and chance in formal, informal, and non-formal educational contexts. The authors share insights into young children’s statistical and probabilistic reasoning and provide early childhood educators and researchers with a wealth of illustrative examples, suggestions, and practical strategies on how to address the challenges arising from the introduction of statist...
The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the largest international conference on mathematics education in the world. This quadrennial event is organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). This book, the Proceedings of ICME-14, presents the latest trends in mathematics education research and mathematics teaching practices at all levels. Each chapter covers an extensive range of topics in mathematics education.Volume I consists of 4 Plenary Lectures, 3 Plenary Panels, 5 Lectures of Awardees, 4 Survey Teams, 62 Topic Study Groups, 13 Discussion Groups, 20 Workshops, a Thematic Afternoon, and an Early Career Researcher Day...
Digitale Medien erobern immer mehr die Grundschule. In diesem Sammelband gehen wir auf spannende Forschungsreisen durch die Einsatzmöglichkeiten für die Primarpädagogik. Wir zeigen, wie Kinder digitale Werkzeuge nutzen können, um ihre eigenen Projekte zu gestalten, Wissen zu sammeln und zu teilen. Von der Erstellung eigener Geschichten und Videos bis hin zur digitalen Analyse realer Daten - dieses Buch macht Lust aufs Entdecken und Ausprobieren. 2023 fand an der TU Chemnitz zum vierten Mal das Symposium 'Lernen digital' statt, um zu einem fachübergreifenden Austausch zum Einsatz digitaler Medien in der Grundschule einzuladen. Dieser Sammelband umfasst Beiträge des Symposiums und bietet so einen Überblick über aktuelle Erkenntnisse aus Forschung und Unterrichtspraxis zahlreicher Fachdidaktiken zum digitalen Lernen.
Die Digitalisierung von Gesellschaft und damit auch von Schule schreitet immer weiter voran. Dabei ist die außerschulische Nutzung von digitalen Anwendungen zu einer Normalität geworden. Schüler:innen, Lehrende, Eltern und viele Akteur:innen nutzen eine Vielzahl digitaler Anwendungen in ihrem Alltag. Das kann und sollte sich im Bereich des institutionellen Lernens als ein Teil der gesellschaftlichen Lebenswelt widerspiegeln. Um die Potenziale digitaler Anwendungen intensiver zu beleuchten, wurden 2021 beim Symposium Lernen digital an der Technischen Universität in Chemnitz zum dritten Mal Ideen und Erkenntnisse führender Wissenschaftler:innen und engagierter Praktiker:innen zusammengetr...
