IASE webinar: Statistical literacy demands are evolving ─ How do we cope with the challenge?7/12/2021 Speaker: Associate Professor Iddo Gal (Dept. of Human Services, University of Haifa)
Date & Time: Thursday 16 December 2021, 6:00am (AEDT) This webinar focuses on 'big picture' issues and dilemmas related to the promotion of statistical literacy, as part of the aspiration for a numerate citizenship that has key competencies required in modern societies. The talk will first sketch and illustrate several frontiers, seemingly known but rapidly changing, involving real-world demands for 'official statistics literacy', understanding of models and prediction issues, and expanding demands for criticality. Such and related developments, some of which are supported by recent research or global realities, challenge traditional curricula and teaching practices in mathematics education, in college-level introductory statistics courses, and in adult education systems. I will then ask you to reflect on systemic tensions and 'social equity' gaps associated with how such evolving demands for statistical literacy are currently handled (or not) in education systems. The last part of the webinar will be an open discussion that aims to clarify some of the (hard) choices and realities we need to face regarding curricular goals and course design and explore some solutions that may support the development of statistical literacy for all. We may not come out of this webinar with all the right answers - but certainly with some good questions. Register here: https://forms.gle/FXEwUsegbVjRtALr5

Thursday - welcome
We are pleased to announce that the theme of this year's FYiM workshop to be held in Brisbane is
Celebrating 10 years of First Year in Maths!
Our first forum was in 2013 at The University of Melbourne. Let's look back on 10 years of talking about teaching maths and statistics at the first-year level. What is still relevant? What has changed? What new challenges lie ahead?
Here is the programme.
Details of the workshop are:
When: Thursday 6 July and Friday 7 July - 10 am to 5 pm
Where: The University of Queensland, St Lucia campus and via Zoom
Cost: FREE! Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided thanks to UQ's School of Maths and Physics. You are welcome to join us for dinner (at own cost) on Thursday night at a local/CBD restaurant.
