Dear EdStat-ers,
Here is an announcement of a new IASE journal, sent by Brian Phillips,
Past-President of the IASE.

Statistics Education Research Journal
The International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) is
pleased to announce that the first issue of its new electronic journal,
the Statistics Education Research Journal, will be published in May
2002. This journal, SERJ, replaces the Statistics Education Research
Newsletter that began in 2000 under the editorship of Carmen Batanero,
and is a natural development of that newsletter, which will no longer
be published. Material that formerly appeared in the Newsletter will
in the future be incorporated into the Journal.
Initially SERJ will be published twice a year. Carmen Batanero
(E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Flavia Jolliffe (E-mail:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) are the founding editors. The other members of
the editorial board are M Gabriella Ottaviani, Chris Reading, and Chris
Wild. Sadly, John Truran, who had agreed to be on the editorial board
and contributed a great deal to the early discussion about changing the
Newsletter into a Journal, died in December 2001. Carol Blumberg
currently has the role of co-ordinating IASE publications and has also
been involved in the development of SERJ.
The journal's aims include the encouragement of research activity in
statistics education, the advancement of knowledge about students'
attitudes, conceptions, and difficulties as regards stochastic
knowledge, and the improvement of the teaching of statistics at all
educational levels. The intended readership includes those engaged in
statistical education research or in any aspect of statistical
education, that is, both researchers and teachers. The first issue
includes contributions on experiences in the training of researchers in
statistics education, a bibliography on variation, tributes to John
Truran, and information about past and forthcoming conferences.
The editorial board encourages the submission of papers and research
reports, theoretical or methodological analyses, literature surveys,
thematic bibliographies, and summaries of research papers and
dissertations of relevance to the journal's aims. Papers giving
details of ongoing studies or consisting of reflective thoughts may be
submitted, provided that the theoretical framework and, in the case of
studies, some preliminary results, are included. Contributions in
English are preferred, but contributions in French and Spanish are also
acceptable. All the papers will be refereed. Further information and
guidelines for authors will be available on the journal web page, which
is currently under development. The web address will be announced
widely at the earliest opportunity.
It is hoped that SERJ will have the full support of all those concerned
with statistical education. It provides a long-needed outlet for
statistics education research and is intended to supplement rather than
compete with the Journal of Statistics Education and Teaching
Statistics.
