New Pedagogy and New Content: The Case of Statistics

David S. Moore

International Statistical Review, 1997, vol. 65, issue 2, 123-137

Abstract: Statistical education now takes place in a new social context. It is influenced by a movement to reform the teaching of the mathematical sciences in general. At the same time, the changing nature of our discipline demands revised content for introductory instruction, and technology strongly influences both what we teach and how we teach. The case for substantial change in statistics instruction is built on strong synergies between content, pedagogy, and technology. Statisticians who teach beginners should become more familiar with research on teaching and learning and with changes in educational technology. The spirit of contemporary introductions to statistics should be very different from the traditional emphasis on lectures and on probability and inference. L'éducation statistique se déroule maintenant dans un nouveau contexte social. Eile se trouve influcncée par un mouvenment de réforme de l'enseignement géneacute;ral des sciences mathématiques. de plus la nature changeante de discipline exige un un contenu revisé au niveau des cours d'introduction et la technoligie influence fortement aussi bien ce qui est enseigné que la facon dont on l'enseigne. Le arguments en faveur de changements subtantiels dans l'enseignement de la statistique reposent dur de familiariser davantage avec recherches sur l'enseignement et l'apprentissage et avec les changements dans les technologies d'éducation. L'esprit de l'introducation á la statistique contemporaine devriat se détacher de l'importance traditionellement accordée au cours magistral et la probabilité et á la probabilité et l'inférence.
