Research on the role of technology in learning and teaching statistics
Organiser
Abstract
There continues to be widespread development of technologies which have application in the field of probability and statistics education. However, as is the case with any educational innovation, these developments need to be accompanied by:
- a theoretical analysis of the potential learning outcomes for students;
- an evaluation of these learning outcomes on the basis of actual student experience with the technology.
The aim of this session then is to:
- present the results of research focussed on the evaluation of such technology in the teaching of statistics;
- give educators some insights into what might be considered to be “good” technology;
- make suggestions about how best to integrate the technology into a learning and teaching strategy.
