  • Statistics Making an Impact
    John Pullinger J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2013) 176, Part 4, pp. 819–839 Statistics making an impact John Pullinger House of Commons Library, London, UK [The address of the President, delivered to The Royal Statistical Society on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013] Summary. Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play. Keywords: Chartered Statistician; Citizenship; Economic growth; Evidence; ‘getstats’; Justice; Open data; Public good; The state; Wise choices 1. Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).

  • Assessment: What's in It for Schools?
    Assessment What’s in it for schools? Assessment is a prominent and sometimes controversial issue in education. This book looks at how and why assessment matters in the classroom, discussing key issues such as: • Can assessment raise standards? • Can current practice be improved? • How does self-assessment help pupils learn? Each chapter includes practical advice for teachers on how to move from assessment that merely measures and certifies to that which is an integral and planned element of the learning process. This book is for all those who want to develop their understanding and use of assessment, to improve teaching and learning in their schools. Paul Weeden is a Lecturer in Geography Education at the University of Birmingham. Jan Winter is a Lecturer and Patricia Broadfoot is Professor of Education, both at the Graduate School of Education, University of Bristol. What’s in it for schools?

  • “It Took a Global Conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British
    Keynames: M. S. Bartlett, D.G. Kendall, stochastic processes, World War II Wordcount: 17,843 words “It took a global conflict”— the Second World War and Probability in British Mathematics John Aldrich Economics Department University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ UK e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the twentieth century probability became a “respectable” branch of mathematics. This paper describes how in Britain the transformation came after the Second World War and was due largely to David Kendall and Maurice Bartlett who met and worked together in the war and afterwards worked on stochastic processes. Their interests later diverged and, while Bartlett stayed in applied probability, Kendall took an increasingly pure line. March 2020 Probability played no part in a respectable mathematics course, and it took a global conflict to change both British mathematics and D. G. Kendall. Kingman “Obituary: David George Kendall” Introduction In the twentieth century probability is said to have become a “respectable” or “bona fide” branch of mathematics, the transformation occurring at different times in different countries.1 In Britain it came after the Second World War with research on stochastic processes by Maurice Stevenson Bartlett (1910-2002; FRS 1961) and David George Kendall (1918-2007; FRS 1964).2 They also contributed as teachers, especially Kendall who was the “effective beginning of the probability tradition in this country”—his pupils and his pupils’ pupils are “everywhere” reported Bingham (1996: 185). Bartlett and Kendall had full careers—extending beyond retirement in 1975 and ‘85— but I concentrate on the years of setting-up, 1940-55.

  • The Sociology of Assessment: Comparative and Policy Perspectives: the Selected Works of Patricia Broadfoot/Patricia Broadfoot
    The Sociology of Assessment: Comparative and Policy Perspectives In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts them- selves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. In a collection of her most influential work spanning nearly four decades, Patricia Broadfoot applies her trademark sociological and comparative per- spective to empirical studies at every level of the educational system. From her classic long-term study of the impact of changing national assessment policies on pupils and teachers in the classrooms of England and France to her sustained championship of the need for a better understanding of the impact of assessment on learning, Broadfoot has consistently championed the need for a more developed sociological understanding of assessment. Broadfoot’s accessible writing offers insights that are as novel as they are important for the education of future generations. This book allows readers to follow themes and strands across Patricia Broadfoot’s career and will be of interest to all followers of her work and any reader interested in the development of teaching, learning and assessment. Dr Patricia Broadfoot is Professor Emeritus of Sociology of Education at the University of Bristol, UK. She is a former Head of the School of Education, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Pro Vice Chancellor at the University of Bristol and was Vice Chancellor of the University of Gloucestershire, UK.

Fotos da capa: a Casa de Portugal - André de Gouveia e a Casa do Brasil na Cidade Internacional Universitária de Paris. Titre original : Histoires de mathématiques et de populations © Cassini, Paris, 2008 Pour l’édition portugaise : © Nicolas Bacaër, 2021 ISBN : 9791034371778 Dépôt légal : mai 2021 Introdução A dinâmica populacional é a área da ciência que tenta explicar de uma forma mecanicista simples as variações temporais do tamanho e da compo- sição de populações biológicas, tais como as dos seres humanos, animais, plantas ou microrganismos. Está relacionada, mas sendo bastante distinta, com a área mais descritiva das estatísticas demográficas. Um ponto comum é que fazem um uso extensivo da linguagem matemática. A dinâmica populacional está na intersecção de vários campos: mate- mática, ciências sociais (demografia), biologia (genética e ecologia da po- pulação) e medicina (epidemiologia). Devido a isto, não é frequentemente apresentada como um todo, apesar das semelhanças entre os problemas en- contrados em várias aplicações. Uma notável exceção em francês é o livro Teorias matemáticas das populações1 de Alain Hillion, que apresenta o as- sunto do ponto de vista do matemático, distinguindo vários tipos de modelos: modelos de tempo discreto (t = 0;1;2...) e modelos de tempo contínuo (t é um número real), modelos determinísticos (os estados futuros são conheci- dos com exatidão se o estado actual for conhecido exatamente) e modelos estocásticos (onde as probabilidades desempenham um papel importante).
