Statistical Literacy and Mathematical Thinking
Statistical Literacy, the study of statistics as evidence in arguments, is proposed as a new course – a bridging course to better prepare students for the traditional statistics course. Statistical Literacy can also be a stand-alone course with its focus on observational studies and confounding factors. The mathematics involved in statistical inference of traditional statistics are reviewed. Ca...
متن کاملMathematical and Scientific Literacy Around The World
PISA, the OECD’s international program of assessment of reading, scientific and mathematical literacy, aims to assess the knowledge and skills that students have acquired at school and their ability to use them in everyday tasks and challenges. It also uses questionnaires to gather data on students’ attitudes to learning and the conditions of schooling. Since 2000, PISA has tested the scientifi...
متن کاملMathematical Literacy: Myths, further inclusions and exclusions
Mathematical Literacy as a new subject in the final three years (grades 10 to 12) of schooling in South Africa is discussed. The discussion is driven by debates and deliberations around the introduction of Mathematical Literacy as they emerged in the public domain and constructs emanating from a diverse field of literature related to both mathematics and mathematical literacy. In particular the...
متن کاملMaking Mathematical Literacy a Reality in Classrooms
Modelling of new problems is at the heart of mathematical literacy, because many situations that arise in adult life and work cannot be predicted, let alone taught at school. There are now plenty of examples of the successful teaching of modelling at all levels – yet it is to be found in few classrooms. How can every mathematics teacher be brought to teaching modelling reasonably effectively? T...
متن کاملSwapping settings: researching information literacy in workplace and in educational contexts
Introduction. Information literacy research is characterised by a multitude of interests, research approaches and theoretical starting-points. Challenges lie in the relevance of research to professional fields where information literacy is a concern, and the need to build a strong theoretical base for the research area. We aim to lay a foundation for a discussion on how researchers may approach...
