国际统计教育研究的议题和趋势及其启示——《国际统计教育研究手册》评述

Topics,Trends and Enlightenment of International Research in Statistics Education——Review of International Handbook of Research in Statistics Education

基于对2018年出版的《国际统计教育研究手册》的分析发现,当前的统计教育研究聚焦于统计实践和统计基本概念的理解,致力于发展学习者的统计推断能力、统计思维和统计素养,试图追踪和完善统计学学习轨迹,并关注统计学教师的专业发展.未来统计教育研究将继续深入对概念理解的研究,强化对课程模式的反思与重构,注重教师统计素养的提升,并进一步纳入数据科学,用整体方法推动变革.统计教育应以完整的统计实践为基础来促进学生概念理解,提升教师使用技术的意识并开发适合统计学教与学的专业软件,设计以统计素养为导向的教与学的评估;统计教育研究亟待建立健全与国际接轨的专业组织和期刊,以期在研究中聚焦问题、深入实质,提高研究水平,并将幼儿园乃至高等教育的“全阶段”纳入研究,最终扩展至整个社会.

Based on the analysis of the International Handbook of Research in Statistics Education published in 2018,current research in statistics education focuses on statistical practice and the understanding of fundamental statistical concepts,and is committed to developing learners’statistical inference ability,statistical thinking and literacy,trying to track and improve statistics learning trajectories and pay attention to the professional development of statistics teachers.From the perspective of international trends,in the future,research in statistics education will continue to deepen the research on conceptual understanding,strengthen the reflection and reconstruction of curriculum model,focus on the improvement of teachers’statistical literacy,and further incorporate data science to promote change with a holistic approach.In China,statistics education should be based on complete statistical practice to promote students’conceptual understanding,enhance teachers’awareness of using technology,develop professional software suitable for statistical teaching and learning,and design statistical literacy-oriented assessments for teaching and learning;as for research in statistics education,it is urgent to establish and improve professional organizations and journals that are in line with international standards,in order to focus on problems,deepen the essence of research,improve the level of research,to incorporate the“all stages”from kindergarten to higher education into the research,and eventually to expand to the entire society.
