Abstract

Research projects in statistics education benefit from the collaboration of individuals with different subject matter expertise, educational backgrounds, and institutional affiliations. However, there are obstacles to creating an effective collaboration group and conducting successful statistics education research projects. This session is meant to inspire cross-department, cross-institution, or cross-national research projects in statistics education research through the presentation of successful collaboration efforts. Presenters will describe the following about their collaborative research project:

• How the collaboration began
• How the collaboration effort was organized and facilitated (the ins and outs, such as technology used and obstacles the group overcame)
• How the collaborators chose the research topic
• How the analysis and results benefited from being a group rather than individual research
• How a new innovation in technology, research methodology or funding enhanced your collaboration

A general discussion regarding how to meet other collaborators, how to address obstacles in the collaboration process, and other issues will follow.
