Brief Overview of the Field of Statistics Education Research (Further context can be found in
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1949-8594.2008.tb17850.x/abstract and
https://www.causeweb.org/cause/research/guidelines/
https://www.amstat.org/asa/files/pdfs/EDU-UsingStatisticsEffectivelyinMathEdResearch.pdf )
Statistics education has grown out of mathematics education and statistics (with influence from other areas
such as educational psychology) to become a distinctive community, if not discipline. While statistics education
papers appear frequently in various statistics journals (The American Statistician, International Statistical Review,
etc.), there are also national/international refereed journals devoted only to statistics education scholarship such as
Statistics Education Research Journal, Journal of Statistics Education, Technology Innovations in Statistics
Education, and Teaching Statistics. Proceedings (e.g., International Conference on Teaching Statistics; International
Association for Statistical Education Satellite Conference) are also outlets for refereed research papers in statistics
education.
In addition to having statistics education “threads” at national mathematical/statistical sciences conferences
(e.g., the Joint Statistical Meetings), the field also has national/international conferences devoted only to statistics
education scholarship, most notably the two conferences mentioned above and the United States Conference on
Teaching Statistics. The field has its own national boards and resources, such as the Research Advisory Board of the
Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education: https://www.CAUSEweb.org/research/,
where you can see links for literature, validated instruments, dissertations, research guidelines, etc. Just as in
mathematics education research, statistics education research spans both quantitative and qualitative methodologies
(see Groth paper in November 2010 Statistics Education Research Journal or Gal & Ograjenšek paper in August 2010 International Statistical Review).
Recently, the field saw the first graduates of the first doctoral program in statistics education (Univ. of Minnesota) as well as the first major national report on statistics education graduate programs (https://www.causeweb.org/cause/archive/research/programs/statedgradprogs.pdf).
