39- Teacher Development in Statistics Education: A Critical Examination of How Teachers’ Experiences Impact Their Knowledge, Beliefs, and Practices for Teaching Statistics

Tuesday, April 12, 2016: 10:00 AM-11:15 AM

Lead Speaker:

Co-speakers:
Jennifer Nickell Lovett and Susan A. Peters


Description of Presentation:

Today’s teachers are faced with a difficult task of teaching statistical topics and approaches. This session will take a critical look at teachers’ learning opportunities in statistics content and pedagogy across a spectrum of contexts in undergraduate teacher preparation, in-person local professional development, and professional development in a massive open online course serving teachers around the world. In all three contexts we seek to understand how the nature of experiences with which teachers engage impacts their content knowledge, beliefs about statistics learning and teaching, and their classroom practices. Reaction and commentary will connect to suggestions from the American Statistical Association.
