We invite submissions to the Posters and Beyond sessions at the U.S. Conference on Teaching Statistics (USCOTS), which will be held in State College, PA from June 1-3, 2023. The USCOTS theme for 2023 is "Communicating with/about Data."
Deadline for submitting a proposal for a “posters and beyond” contribution are:
- January 29th, 2023 for proposing a “posters and beyond” contribution, if you would like to receive formative feedback before your final submission
- March 5th, 2023 for final submission of proposals for a “posters and beyond” contribution, whether or not you submitted a version earlier for feedback
What is a “Poster” and what is “Beyond”?
For “Posters,” you will provide information on an activity, teaching method, or research on statistics/data science education that has support or evidence for efficacy in the classroom. Examples of evidence may include
- Institutional Course Evaluations
- Pre/Post Surveys or Assessments
- Focus Groups
- Qualitative Feedback from Students
- Measures of Student Learning
This is a great opportunity to disseminate your findings (and get feedback) from the statistics and data science community.
For “Beyond”, you will focus on how to incorporate a demonstration, activity, or method into the classroom, and how you assess (formative or summative) it. While there should be the potential for efficacy, evidence is not expected or necessary. This is a great opportunity to share that “cool thing” you do with others in the statistics and data science community.
