Statistics, biostatistics, and data science are unique disciplines/a unique discipline in the sciences: anyone with an Internet connection and computing device can utilize the methods from these disciplines –irrespective of preparation to do so. Most empirical and all experimental sciences require some form of data analysis, including qualitative methods. However, even those in degree or formal educational programs learning about statistics/biostatistics/data science do not receive training in what constitutes “ethical practice”. The American Statistical Association (ASA) maintains, and recently (2018) updated, Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice. Understanding and being able to utilize these Guidelines (GLs) is relevant for all applications of statistical and data science methodologies – whether for true “research” (following the scientific method) or for business or other predictive/decision-making support. Thus, students who will go on to be statisticians and non-statisticians alike need to learn about ethical statistical practice, including those who seek to apply these methods in marketing, policy, and higher education. This article describes how to employ the case study method to teach the ASA GLs, using simple vignettes and a specific tool called a “stakeholder analysis template”. The template is introduced as a method for understanding the harms and benefits, as well as the stakeholders, in each of a series of tasks common to the collection, analysis/manipulation, and drawing of inferences or conclusions based on data in any shape or size. The ASA Ethical Guidelines are discussed with respect to their potential to guide data collection and munging (two specific tasks), with three learning objectives: 1. describe how different individuals (“stakeholders”) may be affected by decisions and actions; 2. enumerate harms and benefits that are most clearly relevant for each stakeholder with respect to the activity; and 3. identify which ASA GL Principles (and/or specific elements) seem most relevant to this activity. The stakeholder analysis template is intended to facilitate teaching and learning – and the ultimate utility – of the ASA Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice.

This article builds on the concept of disciplinary and professional stewardship, to discuss the ethical practice guidelines from two professional associations and a method that you can learn to use in order to implement those guidelines throughout a professional career. The steward is an individual who practices in a field in a manner that invites and warrants the trust of the public, other practitioners, and employers to uphold and maintain the integrity of that field. It is important to your sense of professional identity - and also your profession - to cultivate a sense of stewardship; and one of the foundational aspects of stewardly behavior is to understand professional practice guidelines and the types of behaviors that are expected by practitioners in a given field. Therefore, this article presents two sets of guidelines that can support professionalism, ethical practice, and the development of a coherent professional identity for the statistician and data scientist. The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) are large professional organizations with international membership. An overall objective of each of these organizations is to promote excellence in and by their members and all those who practice in their respective – sometimes shared/joint – domains. It can be helpful to consider the field of ‘statistics and data science’ to be a hybrid of, or co-dependent on, these two fields, which is one reason why the two organizations are presented together. Another reason is that both organizations take ethical practice very seriously, and both engaged in lengthy projects to carefully revise their respective ethical guidelines for professional practice in 2018. Not only does engagement with the guidelines support you initiating, and beginning to demonstrate, your commitment to this particular professional identity, but also exploring the ethical guidelines for professional practice (through ASA or ACM) is a first step towards documenting your commitment to stewardly work as a data scientist. Ethical reasoning, the third focus of this article, helps deepen the understanding of the guidelines and can be useful to generate evidence of stewardly development.

User-created virtual worlds are emerging technologies with rapidly growing acceptance in education. Of the various reported educational uses of these virtual worlds, the focus of this chapter is on virtual worlds for constructivist learning activities, because this use has application to many real-life courses and has the potential to transform teaching and learning. To assist educators with recognizing and understanding virtual world learning activities, Antonacci & Modaress (2005, 2008) developed the Interaction-Combinations Integration model. However, this model has not been studied in actual virtual-world learning practice. Using a case study method, this chapter examines the usefulness of this model to organize and describe actual virtual world learning activities, provides additional learning activity examples, and describes what was needed to implement and conduct these learning activities.

The purpose of this study was to identify and obtain information on the constraints of the online teaching and learning process at home as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The research use the exploratory case study method and the research approach utilised the qualitative case study method which was applied to obtain information on the constraints and consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on teaching and learning activities in junior high school. In this study, respondents were 3 teachers and 3 parents at the Kusu-kusu Sereh Christian Middle School in Ambon. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and a list of questions compiled for interviews was developed based on related literature. The results of this study are that there are several obstacles experienced by students, teachers and parents in teaching and learning activities both online and offline. Obstacles in the online learning process are mainly the lacking technology mastery, the additional cost of internet quota, and lastly the reduced communication and socialization between students, teachers and parents. Obstacles in offline learning are the distance the teacher travels to when visiting the student's residence which is quite far away and the additional work for the teacher in arranging the schedule for student home visits. The same constraints faced in online and offline learning are the existence of additional work for parents in accompanying children to study, and unlimited working hours for teachers because they have to communicate and coordinate with parents, other teachers, and school principals

This paper describes the goals and first results of an ongoing two year case study in a European primary school (5th primary class) where the teacher and all students were equipped with a personal smartphone. Students are allowed to use phone and internet services at no charge and to take home their smartphones after school. In this project the students have access to an internet connected computing device which can be used for reading, writing, calculating, drawing, taking photos, listening or recording audio, and communicating. Does this setting help to achieve the goals of the official school curriculum? How do personal smartphones in primary school influence teaching and learning, especially weekly planning (“Wochenplanunterricht”) and learning outside school? The paper describes the planning and introduction phase of the project as well as first best practice examples of using personal smartphones in and out of school after five months of use. The authors provide qualitative data from questionnaires with students and parents and quantitative data of phone and internet use. To date the results help to formulate specific research questions for further research and they encourage enlarging the case study to several classes in the near future.
