Statistical Literacy

In view of its importance and significance, statistical literacy has stirred a lot of research interest since its inception two decades ago. Research on statistical literacy has encompassed different levels of statistics education besides considering different disciplines of studies and various aspects of statistics education. Statistical literacy requires the integration of statistical knowledge into the real-life settings within which the statistical questions arise. A statistically literate person should have the skills and the confidence to work with data analytically and critically so that the data can be of some substantial use to others. This book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses statistical literacy and assessment.

In short, this book contains the three important facets of education which are assessment, instruction and curriculum. The contents of this book will most importantly provide readers with the important development in statistics education worldwide. The chapters in this book provide readers with a wealth of knowledge concerning pedagogical and assessment issues on the goals of statistics education.
