Graduate Certificate in Statistics Education
The Graduate Certificate in Statistics Education provides a multimedia package
of content for teachers of Chance and Data from grade 5 to grade 12. The content
is presented in five sections according to the curriculum: data collection and
sampling, data representation, chance and basic probability, data reduction
and inference. The multimedia associated with the course include a text (Moore,
Statistics: Concepts and Controversies), video extracts (Statistics: Decisions
through Data); and a ~CD-ROM with software for probability simulation and data
handling, including hypertext documentation to provide background and to link
with other materials. Included are sections on motivators for the content area,
suggested curriculum, suggested classroom activities, student difficulties
discovered in research, and cross-curricular links.
There are three 6-point components to the Graduate Certificate: two focus on
grades 5 to 9, and one focuses on grades 10 to 12. It is possible to replace the
grade 10 to 12 component with a special project for primary school teachers. The
Certificate may be completed anywhere in Australia with students using the
multimedia materials and communicating with the Course Co-ordinator by email.
