Reform efforts in training statistics teachers in the Philippines: challenges and prospectsIn the Philippines, the growing concern in the teaching of statistics at the secondary and tertiary levels is evident in various reform efforts initiated by individuals and professional groups of statisticians. This paper examines the past and on-going individual and institutional activities geared towards teacher training and preparation of statistics teachers in all levels of the Philippine educational system. It presents the Philippine experience as a good example of how the different individuals and groups work together to achieve reforms. Institutional efforts towards statistical capacity building are primarily done through the Philippine Statistical System and the Philippine Statistical Association . The challenges encountered in these reform efforts are examined as basis for recommended courses of action towards more effective institutionalization of reforms in statistics education.

Thus, the present research’s main objective is to comprehend the mediating role Statistics Anxiety plays on the relationship comprising students’ personality traits and academic dishonesty as manifesting before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its aim is to understand this phenomenon and provide theoretical tools for fostering sustainably personalized distance learning and instruction. Data were collected from students studying for a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences at three different Israeli colleges. The sample comprises 316 participants and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results show a significant mediation manifested by an indirect effect between personality traits and academic dishonesty via statistics anxiety only in emergency remote teaching, although no parallel significant...

Since the first studies on the teaching and learning of statistics appeared in the research literature, the scholarship in this area has grown dramatically. Given the diversity of disciplines, methodology, and orientation of the studies that may be classified as "statistics education research, " summarizing and critiquing this body of work for teachers of statistics is a challenging and important endeavor. In this paper, a representative subset of studies related to the teaching and learning of statistics in introductory, non-calculus based college courses is reviewed. As a result of this review, and in an effort to improve the teaching and learning of statistics at the introd...
Özet İstatistiğe yönelik tutumları ölçme aracı geliştirmek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada, Çalışma evreni olarak Pamukkale Üniversitesi Eğitim fakültesinde 2011-2012 eğitim-öğretim yılında öğrenim gören, istatistik dersi veya istatistikle ilgili olarak bir ders alan, öğrenciler oluşturmuştur. Araştırma örneklemi ise söz konusu evrenden tesadüfi yöntemle belirlenen 296'sı bayan ve 154'ü ise erkek öğrenciden oluşan toplam 450 öğrenci oluşturulmuştur. Ölçek geliştirme aşamasında 58 istatistik tutum maddesi oluşturulmuş, bu maddelerin madde-toplam korelasyonlarının hesaplanmasından sonra, madde toplam-korelasyon değerleri düşük olan maddeler ölçekten çıkarıldıktan sonra 33 madde verileri kullanılarak Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) yapılmıştır. AFA sonuçlarına göre ölçekte yer alan 33 madde beş faktör (İstatistiğin mesleki yaşantı ile ilişkisi faktör öz değeri 10,019 ve açıkladığı varyans oranı %30,362, İstatistik korkusu-kaygısı öz değeri 3,980 ve açıkladığı varyans %12,061, İstatistikten keyif alma öz değeri 1,970 ve açıkladığı varyans 5,971, İstatistiğin önemi öz değeri 1,432 açıkladığı varyans ise %4,338 ve Algılanan istatistik güçlük faktörünün ise öz değeri 1,178 ve açıkladığı varyans ise %3,569'dur) altında toplanmıştır. Beş faktör toplam varyansın % 56,301'ini açıklamaktadır. Beş faktör altında yer alan 33 maddelik ölçeğin tümü için iç tutarlılık anlamında Cronbach ⍺ = 0.927 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ulaşılan bulgular eldeki istatistiğe yönelik tutum ölçeğinin geçerlilik ve güvenirlik özelliğine sahip olduğunu destekler mahiyettedir. Abstract The aim of the current study was to develop a Statistics Attitude Scale to determine the statistics attitudes of university students in social sciences. The data was collected from the students attending to the various programs in Pamukkale University, Counseling and Guidance. The participants were a total of 450 randomly selected university students (296 female and 154 male). The scale is a 9-point-Likert-type scale with level of agreement varying from " I definitely do not agree " (1) to " I definitely agree " (9). In order to test validity, exploratory factor analysis was conducted. The result of the Exploratory factor analysis revealed five dimensions: the Relation of Statistics and Professional Life (7 items), Statistical Anxiety-Fear (9 items), Enjoying Statistics (6 items), the Importance of Statistics (6 items), and Statistical Difficulty Perception (4 items). Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.927 for internal reliability indicating the scale has a high degree of internal reliability. In summary, the Statistics Attitude Scale has both high levels of validity and internal reliability.

Three valid instrument titled; statistical anxiety rating scale (STARS), current statistics self-efficacy scale (CSSES), and Grasham Reichann student learning style scales(GRSLSC) was used for data collection. The validity of the instrument was determined using multivariate statistical method of factor analysis. The reliability indices of the instrument were estimated using the Cronbach alpha with coefficients values for statistics anxiety rating scale. .916 and sub scales of .884.71, .80, .70, .63, .60. Current statistics self-efficacy r = .623, and .56, 52, 53, 54, 51, 60 coefficients for the Grasha-Riechmann s...
