A Survey of Motivational Attitudes toward Statistics
Dr. April Kerby
|
Attitudes toward statistics play an important role in a student’s statistics achievement and retention. In 2016, the Research on Statistics Attitudes workgroup began development of new instruments to measure attitudes towards statistics. This talk will discuss the resulting Survey of Motivational Attitudes toward Statistics (SOMAS), including the theoretical framework for the surveys based on Expectancy-Value Theory as well as the item development, subject-matter-expert review, pilot data collection, and exploratory factor analysis results. |
Dr. Debnath Awarded WSU's Distinguished Faculty & Staff Award
Winona State University recently announced Dr. Joyati Debnath as the 2018 recipient of the Distinguished Faculty and Staff Award.
Debnath is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at WSU, where she has taught since 1989. She received her B.S. in pure mathematics and her Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Iowa State University. She has received numerous honors and awards, including Best Teaching Award from Iowa State University (1987), Outstanding Woman of Education Award (1993), and Who’s Who Among American Teachers (1996). Prior to joining WSU, Debnath was a faculty member of the Mathematics and Computer Systems Department at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
A longtime advocate and mentor for female mathematicians, Debnath has led her career with a student-focused approach to her work. She was nominated for this award by a former student.
Debnath
has research interests in the areas of integral transform theory and
more recently in matrices and graph theory. She is an author/co-author
of over 50 publications in numerous peer reviewed journals and
conference proceedings and has made numerous research presentations at
national and international conferences in mathematics and computer
science.
Debnath is the recipient of many grants, including the National Science Foundation Instructional Laboratory Improvement grant, Center of Undergraduate Research in Mathematics grant and grants for WSU undergraduate student research.
She has served as a faculty director of the WSU Freshman Orientation Program and on numerous university committees, and has coordinated WSU’s Distinguished Lecture Series in Mathematics for several years.
In addition to her role and responsibilities at WSU, Debnath has been very involved in the Winona community, with active roles with the YMCA, Parents of the Winona Area Catholic Schools Association and Habitat for Humanity. She is also a frequent judge of research paper presentations at the annual Minnesota State Science Fair.
She resides in Winona and has one son, Shubham, who recently completed his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and resides in Miami.
The Winona State University Alumni Society annually recognizes alumni, faculty, staff and community members for their outstanding commitment to the university, its mission and to improving our world. For more information, visit http://www.winona.edu/alumni/awards.asp.

Mathematical Balderdash with Calculus
Dr. Aaron Wangberg
|
The world is a really messy place. Luckily, math can help. In this interactive discussion, we'll play a mathematical variation of Balderdash. Can you discover the hidden power of mathematical theorems? Can you discover when your math professor is lying? |
