DEVELOPING A STATISTICAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: JAPANESE CENSUSATSCHOOL PROJECT

摘要

Statistics Education in Japan is now reaching a great turning point. In the new curriculum which has been already implemented in some part in this year, it has statistical contents more than previous curriculum, especially in secondary school level. While previous curriculum was too much focused on theory-oriented, new one is focused on much more activity. So, we need many data which are useful for students to learn, and can stimulate practical learning. A Special Committee of Statistics Education in Japan's Statistical Society has decided to join the International CensusAtSchool project to provide rich learning environment of statistics for teachers and students. It can enhance statistics lessons in practical way with real data from students themselves. I will report the students' learning of statistics through CensusAtSchool in this article.
