Data Analysis and Probability
Education in a free society must prepare citizens to make informed choices in all areas of their lives. They must be able to grasp the information being presented, analyze it, and make reasoned decisions. To accomplish these goals, students learn to collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer questions that can be addressed with data; use appropriate statistical methods and predictions that are based on data; develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data; and

Introduction : Erosion de l'autorité éducative.
Importance du présent dans les sociétés postmodernes. Le temps s’est rétréci à la dimension du présent. Passé lointain, avenir incertain, l’homme postmoderne vit dans un temps désorienté, coupé de toute source et de tout projet. Ce sacre du présent fragilise l’autorité des éducateurs et des maîtres.
