Teaching Statistics in School Mathematics-Challenges for Teaching and Teacher Education

A Joint ICMI/IASE Study: The 18th ICMI Study

Teaching Statistics in School Mathematics-Challenges for Teaching and Teacher Education results from the Joint ICMI/IASE Study Teaching Statistics in School Mathematics: Challenges for Teaching and Teacher Education. Oriented to analyse the teaching of statistics in school and to recommend improvements in the training of mathematics teachers to encourage success in preparing statistically literate students, the volume provides a picture of the current situation in both the teaching of school statistics and the pre-service education of mathematics teachers. A primary goal of Teaching Statistics in School Mathematics-Challenges for Teaching and Teacher Education is to describe the essential elements of statistics, teacher’s professional knowledge and their learning experiences. Moreover, a research agenda that invites new research, while building from current knowledge, is developed. Recommendations about strategies and materials, available to train prospective teachers in university and in-service teachers who have not been adequately prepared, are also accessible to the reader.

However, no similar attention has been paid to the preparation of mathematics teacher to teach statistics at these levels. This book presents the results from the Joint ICMI/IASE Study, Teaching Statistics in School Mathematics.

Basic Statistics for Risk Management in Banks and Financial Institutions

The book provides an engaging account of theoretical, empirical, and practical aspects of various statistical methods in measuring risks of financial institutions, especially banks. In this book, the author demonstrates how banks can apply many simple but effective statistical techniques to analyze risks they face in business and safeguard themselves from potential vulnerability. It covers three primary areas of banking; risks-credit, market, and operational risk and in a uniquely intuitive, step-by-step manner the author provides hands-on details on the primary statistical tools that can be applied for financial risk measurement and management. The book lucidly introduces concepts of various well-known statistical methods such as correlations, regression, matrix approach, probability and distribution theorem, hypothesis testing, value at risk, and Monte Carlo simulation techniques and provides a hands-on estimation and interpretation of these tests in measuring risks of the financial institutions. The book strikes a fine balance between concepts and mathematics to tell a rich story of thoughtful use of statistical methods.

Fundamental of Research Methodology and Statistics

The book approaches research from a perspective different from that taken in other educational research textbooks. The goal is to show educators that the application of research principles can make them more effective in their job of promoting learning. The basic point is that we do not have to stop teaching to do research; research is something we can do while teaching and if we do good research, we will do better teaching. This book includes most of the topics treated in traditional educational research books, but in a different order and with a different emphasis. The important content cons.

Relevansi Penerapan Government Finance Statistics Dalam Menilai Kebijakan Fiskal (Relevance of Implementing Government Finance Statistics on Assessing Fiscal Policy in Indonesia).

Indonesian Abstract: Kebutuhan pemerintah untuk menerapkan Government Finance Statistics (GFS) dapat menjadi pilihan yang tepat karena telah terbukti bahwa dengan penerapan GFS pada beberapa negara dapat secara relevan menilai kebijakan fiskal, dalam persamaan regresi Y = 1,810 - 0,838X di mana X = penerapan GFS dan Y = kebijakan fiskal. Pengaruh bersifat negatif dan signifikan. Faktor penerapan GFS dapat menilai kebijakan fiskal dengan kontribusi 81,1%. Adapun penyusunan GFS tidak menggugurkan kewajiban penyusunan laporan keuangan untuk tujuan umum, yang dalam tataran pemerintah pusat dikenal dengan LKPP (Laporan Keuangan Pemerintah Pusat). Penggunaan prinsip-prinsip dasar yang memadai dalam GFS, yaitu basis akrual, cakupan sektor publik, dan konsolidasi juga mendukung GFS ini sebagai dasar yang tepat dalam mengambil kebijakan fiskal dibandingkan dengan sekadar laporan keuangan untuk tujuan umum. Perbedaan antara GFS dengan standar akuntansi pemerintah (pada sektor pemerintahan umum), serta antara GFS dengan standar akuntansi keuangan (pada sektor perusahaan publik), merupakan hambatan sekaligus tantangan bagi semua pihak khususnya pemerintah pusat sebagai penanggung jawab dalam mengembangkan sistem, prosedur, dan sumber daya yang dibutuhkan dalam mengembangkan GFS di Indonesia.
