Please register for: Identifying Statistical Concepts Associated with High and Low Levels of Self-Efficacy to Teach Statistics in Middle Grades on Oct 21, 2015 12:00 PM EDT with Leigh M. Harrell-Williams, University of Memphis and Rebecca L. Pierce, Ball State University. https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/9000458518475182081 Based on our March 2015 JSE paper "Identifying Statistical Concepts Associated with High and Low Levels of Self-Efficacy to Teach Statistics in Middle Grades,” we discuss the results of a Rasch modeling analysis of pre-service mathematics teacher responses to the middle grades Self-Efficacy to Teach Statistics (SETS) instrument. We share how we used Rasch measurement theory to develop the middle grades SETS instrument to measure pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy to teach topics at GAISE levels A and B as well as K–8 CCSSM statistics topics. SETS items ask teachers to rate their self-efficacy to teach a particular concept on a Likert scale from 1 (“not confident at all”) to 6 (“completely confident”). From data collected at four public institutions of higher education in the United States, we discuss what statistics topics pre-service teachers felt the most (or least) efficacious about and how that informs our continuing work.

Seeking Pre-Proposals for regional conferences that integrate with eCOTS May 16-20, 2016.

by Kathy Smith

CAUSE is seeking pre-proposals from groups interested in co-hosting a regional conference or workshop that builds the local statistics education community and integrates with eCOTS and its theme of "Changing with Technology" (happening the week of May 16-20, 2016). Regional conferences can have a variety of formats (single day or multi-day; multi-day occurring at a single location or at changing locations; etc...). Facilities should be able to provide a means for connecting participants to eCOTS at relevant times. CAUSE will provide some funding and help with logistics for each regional conference. Please contact Dennis Pearl (dkp13(a)psu.edu) before October 1 to discuss initial plans and possibilities. Final proposals of no more than one page will be due at the end of October.

Cause JSE Webinar: Wednesday August 19th with Ellen Gundlach Purdue University "A comparison of student attitudes, statistical reasoning, performance, and perceptions for web-augmented traditional, fully online, and flipped sections of a statistical literacy class"

by LAURA BURGHARD

Title: "A comparison of student attitudes, statistical reasoning, performance, and perceptions for web-augmented traditional, fully online, and flipped sections of a statistical literacy class" with Ellen Gundlach Purdue University 12:00 to 12:30p.m. Eastern time, Wednesday ,August 19 th , 2015 (note special time) Abstract : Web augmented traditional lecture, fully online, and flipped sections, all taught by the same instructor with the same course schedule, assignments, and exams in the same semester, were compared with regards to student attitudes; statistical reasoning; performance on common exams, homework, and projects; and perceptions of the course and instructor. The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics- 36 (SATS - 36) instrument and eight questions from the Statistical Reasoning Assessment (SRA) were given both at the beginning and end of the semester to measure change. The students selected their own sections, but the students in the sections were similar demographically, with similar pre-course college grade point averages. The SATS-36 showed increases in affect, cognitive competence, and perceived easiness and decreases in value, interest, and effort from beginning to end of the semester for all sections. Only affect and Journal of Statistics Education, Volume 23, Number 1 (2015) 2 perceived easiness showed any differences for section, with traditional higher than online on average for both. Results from the SRA questions showed an increase in correct statistical reasoning skills and decrease in misconceptions for all sections over the semester. Traditional students scored higher on average on all three exams, but there were no significant differences between sections on homework, the project, or on university evaluations of the course or instructor. Results are contextualized with prior educational research on course modalities, and proposals for future research are provided. In this presentation, we will compare three delivery methods of an introductory statistical literacy course, all taught by the same instructor in the same semester for over 400 students. The complications of defining specific delivery methods and the pros and cons of choices of assessments will also be discussed.

Fwd: JSE Webinar: Assistive Technologies for Second Year Statistics Students who are Blind 12:00 to 12:30p.m. Eastern time, September 16th, 2015 (note special time)

by LAURA BURGHARD

Title: Assistive Technologies for Second Year Statistics Students who are Blind with Rob Erhardt and Michael Shuman, Wake Forest University 12:00 to 12:30p.m. Eastern time, Wednesday ,September 16 th , 2015 (note special time) Abstract : We describe the assistive technologies used to accommodate a blind student who took a second course in statistics at Wake Forest University. The course covered simple and multiple regression, model diagnostics, model selection, data visualization, and elementary logistic regression. These topics required that the student both interpret and produce three sets of materials: mathematical writing, computer programming, and visual displays of data. We relied heavily on integrating the use of multiple existing technologies. Specifically, this talk will detail the extensive use of screen readers, LaTeX, a modified use of R and the BrailleR package, a desktop Braille embosser, and a modified classroom approach.
