Abstract: Over the past decade there has been an increasingly strong call for statistics
education to focus on statistical literacy, statistical reasoning, and statistical
thinking. Our goal in creating this book is to provide a useful resource for educators
and researchers interested in helping students at all educational levels to develop
these cognitive processes and learning outcomes. This book includes cutting-edge
research on teaching and learning statistics, along with specific pedagogical
implications. We designed the book for academic audiences interested in statistics
education as well as for teachers, curriculum writers, and technology developers. (From preface)
