K-12 Data Science and Statistics Education: the View from California – Oct. 23, 2023
Session Description
October 23, 2023 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Join CANSSI Ontario at the Statistical Sciences Applied Research and Education Seminar (ARES) with Robert Gould, Academic Administrator, Department of Statistics, University of California, Los Angeles.
For decades now, statistics educators have worked to achieve wide-spread statistical literacy. And now, well before the task is accomplished, along comes Data Science Education. I’ll explain why, from my perspective, this term is more than just a new label for an old thing, describe updates to the American Statistical Association’s Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Pre-K-12 report, and give a brief overview of a high school data science course that I helped design and propagate. I’ll also discuss currents in California pushing back against data science (and statistics) education.
This event is hosted by Ontario Regional Centre of the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI).
