Mathematical Sciences (21)The Change Agents for Teaching and Learning Statistics (CATALST) project is designed to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate an introductory, non-calculus based statistics course that involves changes in both content and pedagogy. This project builds on several previously funded projects, connecting them in a way that enables the project to design and teach a unique course. The project is also designed to carefully research and study the impact of the course on students and faculty. Intellectual Merit: The project builds on and integrates theory and research from several disciplines: cognitive science, statistics, statistics education, mathematics education and engineering education, connecting these to teaching and professional development. The project goals are to: (a) develop and adapt innovative materials based on cognitive theory and proven methods to promote deep conceptual understanding, problem solving ability, retention, and transfer of learning; (b) implement the materials in all sections of an introductory statistics class at the university; (c) adapt and use a variety of high quality assessments aligned with student learning goals; (d) conduct research studies on the effectiveness of the material and approaches; and (e) develop expertise among a group of faculty at other institutions to implement the materials and pedagogical methods.Broader Impacts: This project affects both content and pedagogy, shaping a very different and much needed introductory statistics course. Workshops familiarize statistics faculty members with the CATALST course and motivate and support them to use the content and pedagogy. After the workshops, online support assists faculty as they make changes in the their own classes. Ten class testers receive more intensive training and support program that prepares them to be catalysts for change in their own institutions and communities.

数学科学（21）教学统计数据（CATALST）项目旨在开发，实施，评估和传播基于介绍性的，非cullculus的统计学课程，涉及内容和教学法的变化。该项目建立在几个先前资助的项目的基础上，以使该项目设计和教授独特课程的方式将其连接起来。该项目还旨在仔细研究和研究课程对学生和教职员工的影响。知识分子的优点：该项目以几个学科的理论和研究为基础：认知科学，统计学，统计学教育，数学教育和工程教育，将其与教学和专业发展联系起来。项目目标是：（a）基于认知理论开发和适应创新材料，并经过验证的方法来促进概念理解，解决问题能力，保留和学习的转移； （b）在大学的介绍性统计课的所有部分中实施材料； （c）适应并使用与学生学习目标一致的各种高质量评估； （d）进行有关材料和方法有效性的研究； （e）在其他机构的一组教师之间发展专业知识来实施材料和教学方法。Boader的影响：该项目影响内容和教学法，塑造了一个非常不同且急需的入门统计课程。研讨会使统计学教师熟悉催化课程，并激励和支持他们使用内容和教学法。在研讨会结束后，在线支持会在自己的课程中进行更改，以协助教师。十名班级测试人员获得了更深入的培训和支持计划，使他们成为自己机构和社区变革的催化剂。
