Changing Needs in a Changing World
There is a rapidly increasing awareness throughout society of the so-called 鈥渄ata deluge鈥�: the explosion in quantities of data being collected, the explosion of settings in which it is being collected, and expansions in the conceptions and scope of what constitutes data. This is accompanied by advances in ways of understanding data, particularly via computer-based visualisation. Foundations are being laid in the statistics strand of the New Zealand curriculum for living in this new world. This involves moving on from some of the traditional ways of 鈥渄oing statistics鈥� that we have become comfortable with and changing emphasis from the details of how we 鈥渄o statistics鈥� to focussing on underlying fundamental ways of reasoning and thinking. In this talk we will address these issues with a particular emphasis on statistical inference at Year 13.
Plenary: 鈥淭he coming of age of statistics education in New Zealand鈥� by Sharleen Forbes This talk gives a history of advances of statistics education in New Zealand, highlighting its central characters, and is entirely new to everyone except those who attended in Auckland.
