The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is holding a series of regional workshops for mathematicians who teach statistics but have little formal training in the subject. These workshops provide participants first-hand experiences of active learning strategies by which undergraduates can investigate elements of statistical thinking. Follow-up activities will support the workshop participants as they form a community, linked by electronic mail, in which they share ideas about teaching statistics. These workshops will introduce participants to: 1) the nature of statistical thinking, particularly concentrating on how statistical concepts and methods differ from mathematical ones; 2) hands-on activities through which students can participate actively in their discovery and understanding of statistical concepts and properties; 3) assessment practices which go beyond testing and grading to establish a dialogue between students and instructor that leads to both improved teaching and a more authentic assessment of students' understanding of statistics and data analysis; 4) technology not simply as a tool for analyzing data but also as a vehicle for active learning and as a resource for acquiring teaching materials.

美国数学协会 (MAA) 正在为教授统计学但几乎没有接受过该学科正规培训的数学家举办一系列区域研讨会。 这些研讨会为参与者提供主动学习策略的第一手经验，本科生可以通过这些策略研究统计思维的要素。 后续活动将为研讨会参与者提供支持，因为他们形成了一个通过电子邮件连接的社区，他们在其中分享有关统计教学的想法。 这些研讨会将向参与者介绍：1）统计思维的本质，特别关注统计概念和方法与数学概念和方法的区别； 2）实践活动，学生可以通过这些活动积极参与发现和理解统计概念和属性； 3）评估实践超越测试和评分，在学生和教师之间建立对话，从而改进教学并更真实地评估学生对统计和数据分析的理解； 4）技术不仅作为分析数据的工具，而且作为主动学习的工具和获取教材的资源。
