Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The idea behind publishing this Special Issue is not to predict the future of teaching ICTs and statistics but to foresee the great potential of using ICTs and statistics in education.
The changes that entail the transition from teaching through ICTs to sustainable educational applications using ICTs is often followed by the strength in adopting them. The unprecedented public health crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic has given us a small taste of such a point, with its impact on teaching, learning, and the transition to online education in general. Education won’t be the same in the post-COVID-19 era. Learning will no longer be all about teaching but on developing a new learning environment and a reliable cooperative discovery-based understanding of new concepts in unpredictable situations.
Furthermore, it is the first time where data and statistical analysis are playing such an important role in education and the economy. The importance of teaching statistics and data analysis is where we should focus on. But, first, we need to start with rich educational scenarios on teaching statistics in all educational levels.
Classroom studies, case studies, and teaching practices involving ICTs in education and teaching statistics are welcome. The planned Special Issue aims to explore this field.
