Abstract

Over the last 12 years we have been developing our understanding of sample-to-population inference. Along the way there have been diversions and road blocks. In this workshop we will remind ourselves about the big ideas in sample-to-population inference, explore how we can revitalise teaching and learning of sample-to-population inference and re-imagine ways to engage our students in statistical enquiry with a purpose.

The team for this session was: Pip Arnold (pip@karekareeducation.co.nz), Robyn Headifen, Maxine Pfannkuch, Sophie Wright, Rachael Ouwejan, Zac Rutledge, Marina McFarland, Mark Hooper, Lucy Edmonds, Michelle Dalrymple
