Embedding Statistics at A level: a report on statistical requirements and assessment across A level courses in Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Psychology and Sociology
This collaborative project by the Royal Statistical Society and the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education presents findings from an analysis of statistics in five recently reformed A levels in England. The aim of the report was to investigate whether the recent reforms will result in improvements in the assessment of statistics models.
The report is in recognition that statistics is increasingly important for a range of subjects for the 14-19 age group, in further and higher education and in employment. A level courses in Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Psychology and Sociology form the basis of the report
The report addresses issues such as quality of statistical assessment, embedding statistical in qualifications and how best to deliver coherent reforms. The report also sets out areas that would benefit from further research.
