Statistical Literacy--Misuse of Statistics and Its Consequences
Johannssen, Arne; Chukhrova, Nataliya; Schmal, Friederike; Stabenow, Kevin
Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, v29 n1 p54-62 2021
Although statistical literacy has become a key competence in today's data-driven society, it is usually not a part of statistics education. To address this issue, we propose an innovative concept for a conference-like seminar on the topic of statistical literacy. This seminar draws attention to the relevance and importance of statistical literacy, and moreover, students are made aware of the process of science communication and are introduced to the peer review process for the assessment of scientific papers. In the summer term 2020, the seminar was conducted as a joint project by the University of Hamburg, the University of Muenster, and the Joachim Herz Foundation. In this article, we present the concept of the seminar and our experience with this concept in the summer term 2020.
