    Hi all!
     
    (Apologies for cross-posting). I'm excited to announce the next Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) / Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education (JSDSE) webinar! Please see below for the webinar details. Also, please note that this webinar is separate from the USPROC webinar which is also taking place in December.
     
    Using Grayscale Photos to Introduce High School Statistics Teachers to Reasoning with Digital Image Data
     
    Tuesday, December 10, 2024 4:00 - 4:30 pm ET
     
    Presented by: Anna Fergusson (University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau)
     
    Abstract:  In this December edition of the JSDSE/CAUSE webinar series, we highlight the 2024 article Using Grayscale Photos to Introduce High School Statistics Teachers to Reasoning with Digital Image Data. Statistics teaching at the high school level needs modernizing to include digital sources of data that students interact with every day. Algorithmic modeling approaches are recommended, as they can support the teaching of data science and computational thinking. Research is needed about the design of tasks that support high school statistics teachers to learn new statistical and computational approaches such as digital image analysis and classification models. Using their design framework, the authors describe construction of a task that introduces classification modeling using grayscale digital images. The task was implemented within a teaching experiment involving six high school statistics teachers. Their findings from this exploratory study indicated that the task design seemed to support statistical and computational thinking practices related to classification modeling and digital image data.
