Newsletter for the Section on Statistical Education
Greetings! I am delighted to begin serving my term as 1999 Chair of the section. I recall when I first attended a
Section mixer and business meeting held at the Joint Statistical Meetings. I was struck by the enthusiasm and warmth
of Section members. Since that time, many exciting initiatives have highlighted the strengths of our membership. For
example, we now have a Section newsletter thanks to the hard work of Carol Blumberg, Joan Garfield, Tom Moore,
and Terry King.
The Journal of Statistics Education is another major Section achievement. A purpose of JSE is to disseminate
knowledge for the improvement of statistics education at all levels. In this issue of the newsletter, we feature an
interview with Jackie Dietz, founding Editor of JSE. In addition, we include a contributed article by Robin Lock, co-
editor of the JSE Section "Data Sets and Stories". Lock tells of useful web sites that can be used as resources for
teaching.
We are also proud to describe the outstanding achievements of Paul Velleman, winner of the 1998 Educom medal.
Velleman was honored for his innovative uses of technology in education.
One purpose of the newsletter is to notify Section members of recent and future statistical education conferences. In
this issue, we concentrate on international conferences for educators and give in-depth descriptions of conference
topics, issues, and goals.
Please contact me with your ideas and suggestions for Section activities. I look forward to working with you this
year.

The American Statistical Association is about to adopt a new project. But to the founding editor, it may seem as
though the adoption is more akin to accepting the role of parenting a baby.
When E. Jacquelin Dietz became the founding editor of the Journal of Statistics Education (JSE) and saw that first
publication birthed in July of 1993, she was already envisioning the idea of the ASA accepting the parenting role of the
journal. The first electronic journal on post-secondary teaching of statistics broke ground with its introduction, and at its
address of www.stat.ncsu.edu/info/jse/ it has just finished its Vol. 6, No. 3 edition. It has grown to such an international
extent and was so widely successful, that it now has a mirror site at Universita' degli Studi in Perugia, Italy.
The journal was originally sponsored by the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University (home of
Professor Dietz) and funded in part by grants from the Exxon Education Foundation and the Fund for the Improvement
of Post-secondary Education (FIPSE) from the U.S. Department of Education. However, Dietz believed that the time
had come to give JSE the prestige and stability that would come from sponsorship by a professional society like the
ASA. And as has happened in many of her pursuits, the dream is about to become reality. In August the ASA Board of
Directors agreed to take over the management of the journal, with the take-off date in January.
Encouraged to "dream big dreams" by colleagues at a workshop where there was cooperative brainstorming about
the idea of an electronic journal, Dietz said they decided to "go ahead and take the lead here at NCSU." And that "big
dream" has turned out to be a very successful dream fulfilled, after much hard work and perseverance, according to
Dr. Daniel L. Solomon, professor at the NCSU's Department of Statistics. "Clearly, everybody would mention that her
primary contribution would be the journal," he said. "It was an heroic effort and it continues to be an heroic effort. The
idea was that it would be a perfect venture for ASA...so she just had to do it, prove its merit and then turn it over to
ASA."
But according to Solomon, that project was typical for Dietz, whom he said had a "strong social conscience." He
cited her contributions in teaching and research as examples of other areas where Dietz has excelled. He noted that
among her strong points as a teacher was her ability to reach students who came to class with great fear...the
graduate students in the social and behavioral science studies. "In the past, because they were afraid of things
quantitative, older students came back to graduate work with great trepidation. They were hard to reach although they
were more mature," Solomon said. "But she has had great success...so that the students got beyond math anxiety and
went further to do their own research."
Noting her contributions in education ranged from primary schools to graduate studies, Solomon said she has
developed as a teacher of teachers. "She designs and uses her statistics in support of education in a variety of ways,"
he said. One example, the "Expanding Your Horizons" program, involved teaching 500 seventh-grade girls about
science and mathematics done by women. Other activities include being the organizer of the Department of Statistics
Summer Camp Program for high school students, being a member of the Scientist-Teacher Partnership (a volunteer
program of NCSU and the Wake County Public School System), Chair of the Section on Statistical Education of the
American Statistics Association in 1997, a presenter at STATS (Statistical Thinking and Active Teaching Strategies)
workshops for mathematicians who teach statistics, and Chair of the Department of Statistics Seminar Series at
NCSU.
And because of her success in these areas, Dietz has been elected to NCSU's Academy of Outstanding Teachers
(1985); received the D.D. Mason Faculty Award in recognition of teaching skills, innovation in statistics education and
dedication to graduate students from other disciplines (1991); appointed Alumni Distinguished Professor for
Undergraduate Teaching (1993-1995) and was a College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (PAMS) nominee for
the Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching (1997, 1998). Dietz was made a Fellow of the American
Statistical Association in 1996.
But for Dietz, the real rewards have come from the students themselves.
"Teaching is what excites me the most," she said. "Most of my recent teaching has been two-semester courses for
social science graduate students who have jobs and families and are fearful about taking statistics. I like to alleviate
their anxiety and convince them that they can do it and even enjoy it. I enjoy interacting with those students."
Dietz added that she enjoyed the rapport she had with the graduate students, noting that she would rather see
them relaxed and talking than herself just lecturing for an hour. "I think I've had some success. They don't leave my
class loving it, but I think they leave with more confidence," she said.
She added that she perceived part of her job in class as making the content seem relevant--something they will
need to use. "I try to find examples of interest to them. I think the courses we teach now are more interesting and
relevant than they were 15 years ago," she said, and added that it helped that there was less drudgery today in dealing
with data computations so that students could talk about the interpretations instead of the mechanics.
"It is so much easier to graph data," she added. "What we used to have to go through was unbelievable. It has
made a huge change that we now have friendly computer packages. Teaching is more exciting and challenging now
as we move away from hand computations toward using technology and computers and real data sets. There is more
use of activities and projects in our courses, and students are more actively involved in their own learning."
But Dietz is not content to leave it at that. She is eager to see the field of statistics gain more visibility and
recognition. "Statisticians help solve problems in every academic field, and nearly all students can benefit from taking
a statistics course. The Advanced Placement statistics course will help us recruit students, because more students will
come to college already aware of the field of statistics. We need to sell our discipline and convince others of its
importance," she said.
Dietz, who started her own education with degrees in mathematics and psychobiology at Oberlin College, then did
graduate work in biobehavioral sciences at the University of Connecticut and earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
statistics from the University of Connecticut, said she always wanted to do work that was relevant and helped the world
solve real problems. With her research, innovative editing, and teaching skills, she has done just that.
"I enjoy what I do," she said. "I can't imagine any other job I'd like better."

Harry Norton is the winner of the 1998 Best Contributed Paper Award for the Statistical Education Section. Dr.
Norton, who teaches at the Carolinas Medical Center, received the highest overall audience evaluation for his
presentation entitled “Teaching Undergraduate Students and Medical Residents How to Identify Fallacies in Numerical
Reasoning.” Those attending his session will not soon forget the lessons he taught and the unique rewards he
provided his learners! A plaque recognizing his achievement will be presented at the Business Meeting of the Section
in Baltimore next August.
For many years, audiences at contributed paper sessions in the Statistics Education Section have been providing
feedback to presenters. The goal of the evaluations and of the award is to encourage high quality contributed paper
presentations.
Thirty-nine papers were evaluated at the Anaheim meetings. To be eligible for the award, a paper must be
evaluated by at least 15 people. The Section is grateful to the numerous audience members who took the time to fill
out the evaluation form, and to the session chairs who distributed and collected the forms. Comments and
suggestions about the evaluation and award process should be directed to Ron Wasserstein at the address below.

Overview of the 1998 Examination While only in its second year of operation, the AP Statistics program produced
15,200 operational exams and 250 alternate exams in 1998, double the number for 1997. The 1998 exam was of the
same structure as the 1997 exam, with 35 multiple choice and six free-response questions. As in 1997, many students
found the multiple choice questions to be relatively easy and the free response questions to be quite challenging.
Student performances were roughly equivalent to those of 1997 on the equating multiple choice questions, but the
average score on all multiple choice questions decreased in 1998. (The multiple choice questions were deemed too
easy in 1997, and an attempt was made to make that section a little more difficult in 1998.) Even though the answers
to the free-response questions are not at the level the Test Development Committee would like to see, they were
somewhat better than last year in the sense that the mean score increased slightly,
nearly doubling on the Investigative Task. The efforts by
the Committee, the College Board and ETS to disseminate information on what is expected in answers to free-
response questions appears to be having a positive effect, and these efforts should continue unabated.
Statistical Summaries Table 1 shows the summary statistics for the raw scores for 1997 and 1998, based on a total
of 50 points for each of the sections, multiple choice and free response. Notice that the standard deviations are large
compared to the ranges of these scores.
Table 2 shows the results of the grade-setting process, turning the raw scores into an AP grade. The percentages in
each of the five grade categories are similar to those of 1997, as are the cut points, but there is a slight decrease in the
percentage of students receiving an AP grade of 5.
Table 3 provides the average composite score for students in each of the AP grade categories.
Conclusion
It appears that AP Statistics has attracted the attention of teachers, students and the community of
professional statisticians. Students with AP experience in statistics are beginning to show up in colleges and
universities around the country. It would be interesting to see how well they perform in follow-up courses; the AP
Statistics Development Committee would be happy to hear such reports from the college and university teachers of the
next statistics course these students might take. If more information is desired on the AP Statistics exams themselves,
Educational Testing Service (ETS) will be releasing a report, with sample student solutions, on the free-response
questions for 1998 and the entire 1997 exam sometime by early 1999.

Paul F. Velleman was honored at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Dallas as the 1998 Educom Medal Award winner
for the American Statistical Association. A silver medal, a bronze desk statue, and a cash award were presented to
Velleman on October 15, 1998, at the EDUCOM '98 annual conference in Orlando, Florida. More information about
the Educom Medal Awards Program and the 1998 winners can be found at
http://www.educause.edu/awards/medal/medalHome.html
The Educom Medal Awards Program is designed to recognize contributors to innovative uses of technology in
education. The ASA was chosen as one of five partner societies that each selected a medal winner for 1998. The
Section on Statistical Education led the selection process for the ASA; selection committee members were Carol
Blumberg, Jackie Dietz, Tom Moore, Bill Notz, Rosemary Roberts, and Allan Rossman.
Velleman is the designer and author of ActivStats, a multimedia learning environment that provides a statistics
course and supporting statistical software on a CD-ROM. In addition, Velleman is the designer and original developer
of DataDesk, a statistics program for data exploration, graphics, and analysis that is widely used in teaching statistics.
He is also the principal investigator and designer of the Data and Story Library (DASL, pronounced "dazzle"), a free
on-line archive of over 120 datasets and stories about those data, designed for use in teaching.

The International Study Group for Research on Learning Probability and Statistics is offering the first in a series of
International Research Forums, to be held in Israel in July 1999. Sponsored by the Weizmann Institute of Science and
the University of Minnesota, this forum offers an opportunity for a small number of researchers from around the world
to meet for a few days to share their work, discuss important issues, and initiate collaborative projects. The topic of
the first forum will be Statistical Reasoning, Thinking, and Literacy. One outcome of the forum will be the publication of
a monograph summarizing the work presented, discussions conducted, and issues emerging from this gathering.
Background Research into statistical education has been growing and receiving increased attention in the past twenty
years, which is illustrated by the large number of the papers presented at international conferences, articles published
in statistics and educational journals, and even entire books devoted to a particular aspect of statistical education.
The five International Conferences on Teaching Statistics (ICOTS), held every four years, beginning in 1982, helped
to progressively link an informal research network of people interested in carrying out research on the teaching and
learning of statistics at all age levels. It was at ICOTS I in 1982 that the International Study Group for Research on
Learning Probability and Statistics was formed.
The goal of the new study group was to encourage research in statistical education, promote the exchange of
information between members, develop instruments by which concepts about probability and statistics could be
assessed, and in general, improve the teaching and interpretation of probability and statistics by dissemination of
research findings.
Currently, the chair of the study group (Carmen Batanero, University of Granada, Spain) produces an electronic
newsletter every three months to serve as a link between members and to provide information useful to research. It
contains summaries of research papers written by members, information about members, summaries of recent
dissertations, and other publications of interest, information concerning recent and forthcoming conferences, and
Internet resources of interest. There are currently over 200 members representing close to 40 different countries.
The only times members have been able to meet and share their work has been at the ICOTS conferences, every
four years. However, in 1996, the IASE decided to focus a round table conference on research, and 24 members of
the international research community had an opportunity to meet, share and discuss their work, and focus on the
important topic of research on the role of technology in teaching and learning statistics. This meeting formed new
collaborations, produced a high-quality, edited volume of papers (which is now on the web), and helped identify
important issues and needed areas of research. This kind of productivity is only possible when small numbers of
people meet together for several days to discuss research details in depth. Unfortunately, the ICOTS meetings do not
allow this type of intense and in-depth discussion, allowing only for formal presentations of papers followed by general
audience discussion.
At the most recent meeting of ICOTS, held in June 1998 in Singapore, several papers focused on the related topics
of Statistical Reasoning, Statistical Thinking, and Statistical Literacy. There seemed to be an overlap among the
topics, yet important distinctions between them, none of which have as yet been addressed. It became apparent that
when statistics educators or researchers talk about or assess statistical reasoning, thinking, or literacy, they may all be
using different definitions and understandings of these cognitive processes. The similarities and differences among
these processes are important to consider when formulating learning goals for students, designing instructional
activities, and evaluating learning by using appropriate assessment instruments. In addition, in recent years, we have
seen an increasing research emphasis on the socially and culturally situated nature of mathematical (statistical)
activity. It suggests the importance of participation in the statistical practices established by the classroom community,
in scaffolding the statistical reasoning processes of the individual student.
A small, focused conference consisting of researchers interested in these topics appears to be an important next
step in clarifying the issues, connecting researchers and their studies, and generating some common definitions,
goals, and assessment procedures. Some of the questions to be discussed in the forum are:
Organization
Dani Ben-Zvi (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) and Joan Garfield (University of Minnesota, USA)
are co-chairs of the International Research Forum. Assisted by Carmen Batanero (University of Granada, Spain, Chair
of the International Study Group for Research on Learning Probability and Statistics) and an advisory committee, they
will organize the program, invite participants, and edit the research monograph.
The format of the Research Forum is for 12-15 participants to meet together for three two-hour sessions each day
for three days, where most of the sessions will focus on the viewing and discussing of videotapes of students,
illustrating statistical reasoning or thinking processes. Background papers by participants and others will be collected
and distributed prior to the forum, including (1) theories of statistical thinking, reasoning and literacy, (2) details on
recent research on these topics, and (3) descriptive information on the context of the videos to be viewed.
All sessions will be held at Kibbutz Be’eri, which is in the southern part of Israel. Participants will arrive on Sunday,
July 18. On that day there will be an orientation to the Kibbutz and a welcome reception. Meetings will take place on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Thursday, there will be a visit and tour of the Weizmann Institute of Science
in Rehovot, followed by a reception there. On Friday, participants may leave the Kibbutz to tour or travel to PME
(Psychology in Mathematics Education). Participants will need to pay for their own travel to the Research Forum as
well as their housing and meals at Kibbutz Be’eri. The estimated cost to participants for housing and meals at the
Kibbutz will be about US$60 per day.
The Research Forum organizers invite anyone interested in participating in this forum to contact them as soon as
possible. Initial expressions of interest are invited as well as brief descriptions of relevant work to be shared at the
forum. Dani Ben-Zvi, at ntdben@wiccmail.weizmann.ac.il and Joan Garfield, at jbg@tc.umn.edu

Since 1968, a number of Round Table Conferences have been organised on statistical educational topics, initially by
the Education Committee of the International Statistical Institute and, since 1988, by IASE (the International
Association for Statistical Education). It has been usual for these conferences to be held as satellite meetings to each
ICME (International Congress on Mathematics Education).
2000 will be the year of the IASE Round Table in Japan on the topic: Training Researchers in the Use of Statistics.
This meeting will be held at the Meiji University, which is located in the central area of Tokyo, before or after the
International Congress on Mathematics Education (ICME 9). The goal of the Round Table Conferences is to bring
together a small number of experts, representing as many different countries as possible, to provide opportunities for
developing better mutual understanding of common problems, and for making recommendations concerning the topic
area under discussion. A main outcome is a monograph containing a set of refereed papers, which presents a global
overview of the conference subject. The following are possible topics and issues to be discussed at the Round Table
Conference:

In June, 1998 the Fifth International Conference on Teaching Statistics, ICOTS-5, was held over five days at
Nanyang University of Technology, Singapore. The ICOTS conferences are one of the main activities of the IASE and
are held every four years. Over 400 participants from some 40 countries attended and more than 200 papers were
presented.
One of the innovative aspects of the program was the incorporation of the conference theme, Expanding the
Network, as a formal part of the program. The purpose was to establish special interest groups of people who met at
the conference who wished to have ongoing communication. These networks were designed to keep each other
informed of activities in the area, to share hard-to-find information with others in the group, and for general discussion
and interchange of knowledge and ideas. Several groups were established and a number of internet list-servers have
already been set up which have now started to operate. These can be found on the site
http://www.stat.ncsu.edu/info/iase/
The invited paper sessions included papers on statistical education at all levels including secondary, post secondary,
continuing education in the workplace and in the wider society. The program also provided opportunities for
participants to gain an international perspective, to learn about the roles of technology and research in statistical
education as well as to have exposure to a number of other determinants and developments in statistical education.
The three volume proceedings give the best continuing record of the conference, and are available for purchase
from: The cost is: IASE/ISI Member $65 plus shipping/ handling. Non-member $80 plus shipping/handling (all prices are in
Singapore dollars).
Planning for ICOTS-6 which will be held in South Africa in 2002 has started. Anyone who would like to be involved in
an organising role should contact Brian Phillips at:

Academicians can generally invoke a lively discussion by posing the question "Which texts would you recommend
for the bookshelves of any person in your field?" With the emergence of WWW resources, we can play a similar game
with websites. Another version of the question is the proverbial "If you were stranded on a deserted island..." which we
can now replace with "If your Internet provider only allowed you initial access to a small number of sites, which would
you choose?" We will assume that you can follow links from your chosen sites to other places, indeed several of our
favorite sites have relatively little content of their own, but are prized for their organization of links to other sites. To
keep things focused, we will choose sites that are useful for teachers of statistics. URL's for the main site are given at
the end of each description, although you can visit the page at
http://it.stlawu.edu/~rlock/10sites.html
to gain easy click
access to any of the underlined sites.
So, how many of these sites were already listed among your bookmarks? Of course, this is a subjective list, and the
real fun of the game comes from the discussions about the great sites that were omitted. If you've got a website or two
that you think should be included, send an email to
rlock@vm.stlawu.edu
and then check back at the 10sites page to
see if additional sites have been added.
