Revisiting Fundamental Ideas for Statistics Education From the Perspective of Machine Learning and Its Applications
Authors:   Paderborn University, Biehler Rolf
Published: October 2022

Fundamental ideas (Burrill & Biehler, 2011) have been specified to structure the curriculum across different age levels and to focus on and revisit the most important ideas. Such ideas must be based on an epistemological analysis of the scientific domain of statistics and its applications. Because these domains are changing, fundamental ideas have to be revisited from time to time. In particular, data science and machine learning have led to new methods and applications in society that must be considered for updating fundamental ideas.
A Collaborative Project of the Subjects Geography and Computer Science: Implementing Statistical Investigations With Gapminder in Secondary Schools
Authors:   Gymnasium Ernestinum Gotha, Prömmel Andreas , Frischemeier Daniel ,   University of Muenster
Published: October 2022

Asking good statistical questions is an important prerequisite for a good statistical investigation. In a joint collaboration of the subjects of geography and computer science, students of a 12th grade geography course of a high school worked on statistical projects and had to deal with resources and their global inequality. The Gapminder software was used as a data base and visualization tool to explore multivariate data. In small teams, the students had to explore the data using Gapminder and to present their topics in short statistical enlightenment videos. We collected working sheets of the student’s project work and analysed them with qualitative methods. To get a better instruction for asking statistical questions, some results regarding a category system are presented in this paper.

We present the design and implementation of an inquiry-based activity based on a general proposal of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic called “study and research path for teacher education” (SRP-TE) as a tool to reflect, develop, analyze, and experience proposals for teaching statistics at lower secondary school. Our proposal of SRP-TE starts from a textbook activity based on a statistical graph about water distribution in Brazil and turns it into an open activity that fosters different dimensions of statistical work (searching, collecting, cleaning, organizing, and exploring data), including interdisciplinary interaction. After its implementation, when asked about the content inherent in the inquiry, pre-service teachers seem to disregard many dimensions of the statistical work, especially those related to data handling.
The Keys to the Kingdom: Why We Can’t Ignore Assessment if We Care About Real Improvement in the Teaching and Learning of Statistics
Authors:   University of Cambridge, Macey Darren , Rycroft-Smith Lucy ,   University of Cambridge
Published: October 2022

Recommendations from research for statistics teaching and learning at school level have evolved over the decades but have consistently advocated a set of broad principles: use of meaningful problems and/or realistic data, utilising technology tools, and the prioritisation of concepts over procedures. Despite this, the pipeline of this advice into policy and classroom practice has proven to be punctured. This paper presents a theoretical argument for how neoliberal imperatives in the education system within the social context of a school may act to restrict teacher agency to a narrow, assessment focused, decision space. We argue that this creates a tension between the aims of reformists in statistical education and the inertia of exam systems, presenting a case for future research on that basis.

Previous studies show the need for teachers to have didactic suggestions that promote statistical thinking. In this work we present the content analysis, carried out on an activity that is part of a broader didactic proposal, focused on statistical research based on the study of real data and social indicators. The content analysis shows the network of relationships between dimensions of statistical thinking that could be fostered through the conceptual and methodological study implicit in the activity. This analysis can serve as a didactic reference for teachers interested in implementing activities that promote statistical thinking. Estudios previos muestran la necesidad de los profesores por disponer de sugerencias didácticas que propicien el pensamiento estadístico. En este trabajo presentamos el análisis de contenido, realizado sobre una actividad que forma parte de una propuesta didáctica más amplia, enfocada en investigaciones estadísticas basadas en el estudio de datos reales y de indicadores sociales. El análisis de contenido, muestra la trama de relaciones entre dimensiones del pensamiento estadístico que se podría propiciar a través del estudio conceptual y metodológico implícito en la actividad. Este análisis puede servir de referencia didáctica para docentes interesados en implementar actividades que propicien el pensamiento estadístico.

In the framework of the pilot test of a model to evaluate and characterize the critical statistical literacy of university students, mediated by the constant comparative method, a clipping of a task focused on the understanding and interpretation of graphs on multidimensional poverty in Argentina is analyzed. in 2021, the answers provided by 43 students and a class based on the task emerging from the base task. Errors and difficulties were found in the students' transnumeration process, which could hinder the development of critical thinking. It is concluded that transnumeration, when it interferes in complex socio-political contexts, such as the problem of poverty measurement, is an educational scenario that has the potential to favor critical thinking. En el marco de la prueba piloto de un modelo para evaluar y caracterizar la alfabetización estadística crítica de estudiantes universitarios, mediado por el método comparativo constante, se analiza un recorte de una tarea centrada en la comprensión e interpretación de gráficos sobre la pobreza multidimensional en Argentina en 2021, las respuestas aportadas por 43 estudiantes y una clase basada en la tarea emergente de la tarea base. Se encontraron errores y dificultades en el proceso de transnumeración de los estudiantes, pudiendo esto obstaculizar el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico. Se concluye que la transnumeración, cuando se inmiscuye en contextos socio-políticos complejos, como la problemática de la medición de la pobreza, es un escenario educativo que tiene el potencial de favorecer el pensamiento crítico.
Facilitators’ Orientations Towards Learning Goals, Perceived Challenges, and Teaching Resources for a PD Course on Conditional Probability
Authors:   Paderborn University, Nieszporek Ralf , Griese Birgit ,   Paderborn University, Biehler Rolf ,   Paderborn University
Published: October 2022

The data age has led to curriculum developments promoting the relevance of stochastics in mathematics education. This has resulted in an increased demand for teacher professional development (PD) courses, and thus in a rising number of facilitators for this purpose. Their expertise, however, remains under-researched, even though facilitators are the crucial factor in PD success. Our study aims at revealing how one aspect of facilitator expertise, orientation, is connected to other aspects: views on content goals, perception of possible challenges, and attitude towards teaching resources. The explorations reveal differing orientations and learning goals with identical teaching resources for two facilitators who had also been working as a team for the re-design of the PD course for years.

Authors:   Indian Statistical Institute, Pal Amita , Anis Md. Zafar ,   Indian Statistical Institute
Published: October 2022

The International Statistical Education Centre was founded in 1950 in Kolkata, India under the auspices of the International Statistical Institute and the Indian Statistical Institute. Its objective was to provide statistical training at various levels to government officers from developing countries in Asia and Africa, which were facing shortages of adequately trained statisticians. A regular course on Statistical Theory and Applications, suitably designed for this purpose, has been conducted since 1950. Its curriculum is judiciously formulated to meet its objective, and teaching is conducted by the faculty of the Indian Statistical Institute and senior officials of the Indian Statistical Service. Positive feedback from participants indicates that this course has contributed to skill enhancement in statistical data analysis and has a favourable impact on career advancement.
Prospective Teachers’ Probabilistic Reasoning When Solving a Sampling Task
Authors:   University of Granada, Batanero Carmen , Begué Nuria ,   University of Zaragoza, Ortiz Juan ,   University of Granada
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this report is to describe the probabilistic reasoning of prospective teachers when working with a sampling situation. We analyze written responses of 139 prospective secondary school mathematics teachers to a task where they had to estimate an urn’s composition given a sample of 1000 drawings. Afterwards they had to estimate the probability of the next extraction. Although most teachers built an urn model consistent with the sample selected, few of them used the model to predict the next selection. The study highlights the need to improve the probabilistic reasoning of prospective secondary school mathematics teachers, who, having received formal statistical training, lack an education in the psychological and didactical components of teaching probability.
Launch of the ISLP Poster Competition in Pakistan: Experiences and Insights
Authors:   Kinnaird College for Women, Habibullah Saleha Naghmi
Published: October 2022

This paper presents an account of the launch of the ISLP Poster Competition in Pakistan for the very first time in 2020–2021. The first phase of the competition, the ‘national competition,’ attracted 23 posters from undergraduate students of various higher education institutions within the country, and in the second and final phase, the ‘international competition,’ the national winner from Pakistan was selected to be the international winner as well. Based on this positive experience, it is recommended that developing nations engage with such activities without any reservations because these are likely to promote not only self-confidence in their students enrolled in various disciplines but also the urge for learning the basics of statistics that will promote long-lasting appreciation of the subject.

The Motivational Attitudes in Statistics and Data Science Education Research group is developing a family of validated instruments: two instruments assessing students’ attitudes toward statistics or data science, two instruments assessing instructors’ attitudes toward teaching statistics or data science, and two sets of inventories to measure the learning environment in which the students and instructor interact. The Environment Inventories measure the institutional structures, course characteristics, and enacted classroom behaviors of both the students and instructors, all of which interact with the student and instructor background. This paper will discuss our proposed theoretical framework for the learning environment and its development.

Does the age matter in acquiring second language?
Authors: Oktavia Diana
Published: October 2022

It has been being debatable issue for very long time, the early starter verseus late starter in the second language acquisition. Some researchers assumed and found that the early starter can acquire language better than the late starter, because they are in the critical period. While, some researchers found that the late starter can acquire and perform the new language better than the early starter, because they have better ability in understanding some aspects of languages. Therefore, this current paper concerned to find any factors influence someone in acquiring the second language acquisition. This study involved nine International students who are studying in Hungary, they started learning and acquiring Hungarian language when they have passed their critical period. This current study found that the age is not the only main factor in acquiring the language, but there are some other factors, including the society, access to the language, attitude toward language, love, and friendship/relationship.
Tracing the Voices of the Oppressed: A Reading of Bapsi Sidhwa's Novel 'The Pakistani Bride'
Authors: Safdar Aamna , Abbas Safdar , Zafar Nida ul
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine how Bapsi Sidhwa treats the motif of feminism in her novel The Pakistani Bride. Women are oppressed, dominated, and exploited in a predominantly male-dominated society. This study aims to investigate the gender prejudices that exist in the tribal patriarchal society in Pakistan. In order to highlight the remote lives of women in an overwhelmingly male-oriented society, FTDM (Fairclough's 3-Dimensional Model) is used as a lens for analysis of the novel's text. The findings of the study demonstrate that females are oppressed and subjugated emotionally, physically, and socially. Women's marginalization, oppression, and patriarchal hegemony are all deeply rooted in cultural practices. This debate focuses on women because power in discourse identifies the exact ways in which it can be exercised physically and practically in order to achieve desired results. The textual analysis reveals the pitiful condition and deplorable treatment of women in remote areas of Pakistan. Furthermore, the research reveals that FTDM demonstrates how ideological language is used and the role of persuasive strategies in the development of social relationships.

EF-Games, Characterizations and Lindström Theorems
Authors: Liao Cheng
Published: October 2022

The Ehrenfeucht–Fraïsse game for a logic usually provides an intuitive characterization of its expressive power while in abstract model theory, logics are compared by their expressive powers. In this presentation , I will expose this connection in details by showing a general Lindström theorem for logics which have certain types of Ehrenfeucht–Fraïsse games. I will first prove a general characterization theorem and then move forward to get a Lindström theorem (with more assumptions about the logics we consider). The results generalize and uniform some known results and may be applied to get new Lindström theorems for logics.
Relationship Between Jumping Performance in Various Tasks, Sprint and Agility in Basketball Players
Authors: MAKARACI Yücel , SOSLU Recep
Published: October 2022

A high level of jumping ability is inherent in elite basketball, but the correlation of jumping ability in various tasks with sprint and agility performances, has not been investigated thoroughly. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the correlation of jumping performances in various tasks with sprint and agility in basketball players of different ages. Thirty-six (senior: n=12, age 25.75±5.12 years; under 19: n=12, age 17.25±0.45 years; under 17: n=12, age 15.46±0.32 years) male basketball players volunteered to participate in the study. The jumping performance of the players was determined using squat jump, counter-movement jump, and drop jump tests using a force platform. For each test protocol, commonly used power, force, velocity, and acceleration measures were obtained from the official device software. Sprint ability was evaluated by a 20-m sprint test, while agility was measured by the T-Drill test. Pearson’s correlation and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical processing. Jumping performance in each task correlated with sprint and agility (p
Gestión de la nutrición para el ser organizacional transmoderno
Authors: Sumoza Rolando
Published: October 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar los factores relacionados entre la tecnología y la nutrición laboral que influyen en la gestión de las organizaciones en la transmodernidad, para orientarlas hacia la calidad de vida y la sostenibilidad. La transmodernidad es empleada en él como categoría de origen filosófico, equiparable a otras concepciones que buscan demarcar ciclos paradigmáticos en la historia humana y que está fuertemente marcada por la tecnología de base digital. Por su parte, la calidad de vida y la sostenibilidad como categorías que engloban aspectos médico-biológicos del ser humano, así como elementos conductuales cuya manifestación se traduce en una vida considerada sana y, por tanto, laboral-productiva. De allí que la nutrición se considera en extenso –es decir, involucrando producción y consumo de alimentos, actividad física y eliminación de sustancias tóxicas–, así como su relación con los avances tecnológicos en procura de un trabajo decente, como elemento fundamental del desarrollo sostenible y su influencia en la seguridad alimentaria. La investigación se desarrolló bajo una metodología fundamentalmente documental y de corte hermenéutico. Los lineamientos centrales se basan en los postulados gadamerianos –y en algunos puntos, derridianos–, lo que permitió visualizar tanto aspectos históricos de los términos, así como las concepciones actuales de las categorías, posibilitando igualmente las disrupciones epistemológicas cuando fueron necesarias. La postura metodológica finaliza en una reconstrucción conceptual, a través de un contraste con las estadísticas, conceptos y premisas actuales, publicadas por los organismos internacionales que trabajan sobre los diferentes tópicos relacionales. Como conclusión general de la investigación se puede afirmar que la gerencia de la nutrición es necesaria en las organizaciones actuales en los diferentes departamentos y aspectos organizacionales. Aquí la tecnología de la denominada industria 4.0 tiene un rol fundamental (por ejemplo, a través de la nanotecnología, la genómica nutricional, la food computing, entre otras), para hacerla más precisa y práctica. Por tanto, una gerencia de la nutrición 4.0 puede impulsar el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida del ser humano laboral.
Cooperativismo, participación y cadenas agroproductivas. Las ferias de consumo de Lara, Venezuela
Authors: Bastidas Oscar
Published: October 2022

Desde 1983, bajo el lema “Construyendo aquí y ahora el mundo que queremos”, las ferias de consumo familiar constituyen una de las instancias de funcionamiento del Organismo de Integración Cooperativa Cecosesola, Central Cooperativa Regional (CCR), asociada a la Central Cooperativa Nacional de Venezuela (Ceconave). Sus 550 trabajadores –asociados– son el centro operativo de una cadena agroalimentaria, conformada en red que integra aguas arriba unos 600 proveedores de hortalizas frescas y víveres de varios estados del país que, abastecen el 40% de la población de Barquisimeto, unas 100.000 familias beneficiarias. Sus precios son menores en un 50% en promedio al de los supermercados privados, gracias a una institucionalidad tejida desde lo cotidiano sobre criterios de confianza en y entre sus proveedores y los trabajadores-asociados. Como activista del cooperativismo impulsado por Ceconave y como académico, el autor conoce las Ferias desde antes de su puesta en marcha. Este artículo constituye una visión holística de Cecosesola y de sus Ferias, con forma de monografía descriptiva y analítica construida sobre visitas periódicas y entrevistas a los actores como fuentes primarias, y observaciones participantes fortalecidas con análisis de escritos de los propios actores, así como de consultores y otros investigadores interesados en esta experiencia. El documento se teje a partir de precisiones teóricas sobre el cooperativismo, el estado Lara como territorio base de las ferias y el surgimiento de una cultura participativa como eje transversal de Cecosesola y de las Ferias. En él se analiza la organización y funcionamiento autogestionario de estas últimas, su cadena de valor y el papel de sus actores, con énfasis en los criterios de comercio justo, las reuniones y decisiones consensuadas, los fondos como mecanismos de solidaridad y las ferias como mercado seguro para los productores. Finalmente reflexiona sobre la transformación cultural e institucional lograda y presenta un resumen de los impactos de las ferias a manera de balance social.
Kuautlali, parcela para agricultura sustentable. Respuesta ante depredación de la naturaleza en el Sur-Jalisco, México
Authors: Macías Alejandro , Sevilla Yolanda
Published: October 2022

La agricultura en el sur de Jalisco, México se encuentra fuertemente influenciada por la producción de cultivos de alto valor agregado, especialmente aguacate y frutillas (berries), destinados a los mercados internacionales. Estos cultivos, cuya producción demanda modelos intensivos agroindustriales, han ocasionado severos daños a la naturaleza regional, así como la disminución de mantos acuíferos, desforestación y contaminación. Ante ello, agricultores de pequeña escala, investigadores universitarios y estudianteshan impulsado desde 2013 una parcela de investigación en instalaciones universitarias, en la que experimentan con diversas técnicas de cultivo agroecológicos para producir alimentos de importancia regional, que protejan los recursos naturales, generen opciones económicas para los agricultores y permitan la reproducción de especies de importancia histórica regional. El objetivo del artículo es compartir estas experiencias forjadas en poco más de ocho años de trabajo orientado a difundir las ventajas de la agroecología, en una región fuertemente influenciada por la agricultura industrializada. Bajo las metodologías de investigación acción participativa revalorizadora y campesino a campesino, la parcela de investigación ha logrado generar propuestas viables para la población regional, recuperando en alguna medida la relación fraternal del ser humano con la naturaleza. No obstante, avanzar en estos objetivos implica, por un lado, entender y trabajar con las limitaciones existentes en entornos agroindustrializados y, por otra, multiplicar las parcelas agroecológicas en las propias comunidades, bajo la responsabilidad directa de los productores, a efecto de que este modo de producción se generalice y se convierta en una opción viable para la mayoría de los campesinos y agricultores de la región. En ello se trabaja desde 2020, con la instalación piloto de cinco parcelas agroecológicas en predios campesinos de dos comunidades del sur de Jalisco, además de otras en los estados de Nayarit y Chiapas. En estas parcelas se involucrará no solo la participación de productores, sino también de mujeres y niños, pues la agroecología implica una integración completa de la comunidad. Igualmente se fomentarán procesos de intercambio alternativos y solidarios, así como la socialización de los saberes locales. En etapas subsiguientes, estos modelos de parcelas podrán reproducirse en otras comunidades de México.
Pukulan Mendidik dalam Islam bagi Membentuk Konsitensi Solat Anak-Anak
Authors: Nadiyah Hashim
Published: October 2022

Tajuk kajian menfokuskan kepada tuntutan merotan anak jika mereka enggan solat seperti yang disebut dalam hadis nabi yang bermaksud “Perintahlah anak-anakmu mendirikan solat ketika mereka berumur tujuh tahun dan pukullah mereka jika meninggalkannya ketika berumur sepuluh tahun serta pisahkan tempat tidur mereka” (Riwayat Abu Daud). Ini menunjukkan bahawa agama Islam memberi hak dan tanggungjawab kepada ibu bapa supaya merotan anak-anak bagi yang meninggalkan solat ketika umur sepuluh tahun ke atas pendekatan mendidik dengan cara merotan ini adalah merupakan kesalahan dalam undang-undang beberapa negara. Seperti yang pernah tular di media yang berlaku kepada rakyat Malaysia yang dipenjara atas kesalahan memukul anak mereka yang enggan menunaikan solat. Hukuman kepada kanak-kanak yang mendatangkan kecederaan pada badan telah diharamkan oleh beberapa negara. Walau bagaimanapun belum ada tindakan atau larangan hukuman fizikal terhadap anak-anak setakat hari ini oleh undang-undang negara kita selagi tidak membawa kepada penderaan. Objektif kajian ialah (i) menghuraikan hukuman rotan dalam Islam terhadap anak-anak yang meninggalkan solat dan (ii) menganalisis kepentingan hukuman rotan perlu dilaksanakan terhadap anak-anak yang meninggalkan solat. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan analisa desksiptif kajian-kajian yang berkaitan dalam mendapatkan hasil dapatan perbincangan.  Kesimpulannya, Islam itu tidak pernah suka kekerasan dan kekasaran. Adalah tidak benar sama sekali untuk meletak Islam itu agama yang tidak ada toleransi hanya kerana memahami hadis ini secara suratan. Islam memberi penerangan pukulan bagaimana yang dibolehkan dan yang bagaimana harus dielakkan. Penulisan ini mencadangkan agar kajian mendalam perlu dijalankan agar garis panduan merotan dengan oleh ibu bapa dapat dikeluarkan dengan mengambil kira adab, akhlak, hikmah dan takdib. Ini kerana tujuan memukul dalam tahap ini ialah untuk mendidik dan bukannya memukul kerana hukuman melanggar ketatasusilaan dalam masyarakat. Di samping tujuannya yang tidak lari daripada untuk mengembalikan anak-anak ke dalam kawalan ibu bapa.
