Teaching Statistics
Teaching Statistics seeks to help teachers of biology, business studies, economics, geography, mathematics, the sciences and the social sciences etc. by showing how statistical ideas can illuminate their work and how to make proper use of statistics in their teaching. It is also directed towards those who teach statistics as a separate subject and to those who teach statistics in conjunction with mathematics courses. The emphasis of the articles is on teaching and the clasroom.

Needs of Non-Specialist Young Workers The Statistical Education Project 16-19 was set up in 1981 and one of the concerns of the project was to find out the nature of statistical ideas and techniques being used by young people as they enter employment at the age of 18 or so, following full-time education. The interest was in the needs of the general employee on entering and becoming established within the company. |
| From
Co-operation to Co-ordination This handbook can be used in several ways. Firstly it is a practical resource for all teachers who are seeking to encourage greater co-operation and co-ordination of statistics teaching within their schools. It has been published in loose-leaf binder form so that teachers can add their own material as they work within their schools. An appendix includes photocopiable pages which you can use within your school to help gather information. You have permission to make copies of these pages free of charge for use within your school. A4 size handbook with OHP slides. copies @ £10.95 |
| The
Statistician at Work These two tapes were first prepared as background material for the Open University course M345: Statistical Methods. They do, though, have a much wider appeal than this. They were devised to show the wide range of work that a statistician might be called upon to do. By letting some of today's leading statisticians speak for themselves you will be able to get an insight into how they think and work, how they co-operate and interact with colleagues and how they set about solving problems and communicating the solutions. Two C-60 audio tapes. copies @ £6.00 REDUCED PRICE!! |
