INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR STATISTICAL EDUCATION

http://www.cbs.nl/isi/iase.htm

You are invited to join the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) which is devoted to the development and improvement of statistical education on a world-wide basis.

Foundation and Objectives

The IASE is the newest section of the International Statistical Institute, ISI, and was founded as a section of the ISI in 1991 during the 48th Session of the ISI held in Cairo, Egypt.

The objectives of the IASE are:

·  to promote the understanding and advancement of statistical education and related subjects;

·  to foster the development of effective and efficient educational services through international contacts among individuals and organisations, including statistical educators and educational institutions.

Membership and Executive

IASE membership is open to all individuals and organisations with a professional interest in any aspect of statistical education including:

·  Teaching statistics at a primary or secondary school;

·  Teaching statistics in a college, technical institute, university, or in continuing education;

·  Teaching, or developing software for statistical computing;

·  Teaching statistics, including quality improvement methods, in business or industry;

·  Training statistical staff for government statistical offices;

·  Developing statistical textbooks, audio-visual materials, or curricula.

As of September 1999, the membership of IASE totalled 543 individual members and 8 institutional members. About 30 per cent of individual members are women and nearly 40 individual members were also members of the ISI.

An Executive Committee elected for two years runs the Association. Officer bearers for the period 1999-2001 are:

President: Brian Phillips (Australia)

President-Elect: Carmen Batanero (Spain)

Vice Presidents: Joan Garfield (USA), Lionel Pereira Mendoza (Singapore),

Gilberte Schuyten (Belgium), Dani Ben-Zvi (Israel).

Membership dues

Recently the ISI introduced a cafeteria system of fees for itself and its five sections, including the IASE. This system aims at establishing a closer connection between what members pay and what they get. Members pay a basic fee, which entitles them to the benefits of belonging to an international community of statistical educators. They receive a number of publications including the ISI/Sections membership directory, the ISI Newsletter and the IASE Review. They may also subscribe to the International Statistical Review (ISR) and Short Book Reviews (SBR) at discounted prices. Furthermore, they may subscribe at reduced rates to certain statistical education journals, for example Teaching Statistics (which includes IASE Matters), and may purchase IASE and ISI education publications, including the proceedings from international conferences on teaching statistics, at discounted prices. Members also benefit from reduced registration fees for regular conferences such as ISI meetings, ICOTS and other IASE/ISI organised meetings. For new subscribers (while stocks last) a special offer is available which consists of a free book worth US$ 65: The Assessment Challenge in Statistics Education I. Gal and J. Garfield, (Eds.) IOS Press, 1997.

Members from developing countries receive a discount of 50% on the normal membership fees.
