Abstract: Statistics educators have been studying undergraduate student attitudes toward statistics for decades, but with lack of modern instruments for collecting attitudes and no mechanism for studying these attitudes at the national scale. Through our NSF-funded grant (DUE-2013392), our research team is creating a family of validated instruments to measure student attitudes toward statistics or data science, instructor attitudes toward teaching statistics or data science, and the learning environment. This talk will describe the goals of the grant, the six instruments under development and the development process, and a brief summary of the current psychometric findings.
