Webinar duration: 60 minutes
This session with Chris will be a question-and-answer session based on his recent presentation Through a glass darkly: Statistics education, society and the future at the New Zealand Association of Mathematics Teachers Conference.
Take time to watch the presentation before the session, and post questions for Chris. The session itself will be a mixture of responding to previously posted questions and as time allows questions on the day. The link to post questions is available once you have registered, or you can email questions to Pip pip@karekareeducation.co.nz directly.
This presentation is Chris’s latest thinking from a similar presentation at ICOTS in Kyoto.
Bio
Chris Wild did his first degrees at Auckland followed by a PhD at the University of Waterloo in Canada before joining the then Statistics Unit of the Department of Mathematics in 1979.
He was Head of Auckland’s Department of Statistics 2003-2007 and co-led the University of Auckland’s first-year statistics teaching team to a national Tertiary Teaching Excellence Award in 2003.
Research | Current
Currently, my main research interests are in statistics education with particular emphasis on visualisation, software for data analysis and conceptual development, statistical thinking, and reasoning processes. Much of my career has been spent developing methods for modelling response-selective data (e.g., case-control studies) and missing data problems, and other aspects of biostatistics.
