Probability and Statistics for Secondary Schools--A ComputerLearning Environment and Curriculum

该项目旨在开发一种计算机学习环境和课程材料，用于高中水平的数据分析和统计教学。拟议的课程材料将在一个学期的课程中使用，作为其他数学和科学课程中的实质性单元，并作为其他课程中以技能为重点的组成部分。该项目将为中学课堂带来学习经验，让学生密切接触他们在信息时代成为知情和富有成效的参与者所需的概念和技术。该软件暂时命名为StochasticsLab，是一个概念上统一的数据收集和探索、模拟和统计分析平台。创新的设计支持了关于儿童如何学习随机概念的最新理解，包括用户构建度量的重要性，与分类变量相关的问题和潜力，以及将模拟数据输入数据分析工具的必要性。它基于网络协作，访问大型数据集，以及对事物如何工作的可视化解释。虽然预计软件将加强现有的课程，但课程材料将需要有电脑和软件。在这个项目中，软件是主要的创新。＊＊＊

9400091 Finzer This project aims to develop a computer learning environment and curriculum materials for use in teaching data analysis and statistics at the high school level. The proposed curriculum materials will be usable in a semester-long course, as substantial units within other mathematics and science courses, and as skill-focused components of other courses. This project will bring learning experiences to secondary school classrooms that intimately involve students with concepts and technologies they need to become informed and productive participants in the information age. The software, provisionally named StochasticsLab, is a conceptually unified platform for data gathering and exploration, simulation, and statistical analysis. The innovative design supports the latest understanding about how children learn stochastic ideas, including the importance of user-constructed measures, the problems and potentials associated with categorical variables, and the need to feed simulation data into data analysis tools. It is based from the ground up on net- worked collaboration, access to large datasets, and visual explanation of how things work. While the software is expected to enhance existing courses, the curriculum materials will require the presence of computers and software. In this project, the software is the major innovation. ***
