Their power and their undoubted efficacy in many areas have given rise to faith in measurement and metrics. More of them will tell us all that we need to know. Their use carries with it a number of presuppositions: that reality can be satisfactorily represented and that it can be controlled or the risks managed. The papers in this book interpret the ethics and aesthetics of statistics in terms of representation, visualisation and accessibility, focus on the appeal of ‘simplicity’, of technical languages, numbers, diagrams and pictures, and pay attention to their connection with action plans. The book explores what has made educational researchers dependent on statistics, and deals with their use in areas such as the prevalence of maltreatment of children, European citizenship, well-being and happiness, illegal migrants, and university expansion. There is discussion of how the quest for more and better statistics finds its voice in policy initiatives that become slogans, and how public opinion polls are used to rationalise political decision-making. Can a more limited and modest use be made of statistics which does not deflect attention away from education | | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | | 关键词 | European citizenship; diagrams; measurement; metrics; polls; psychology; statistics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-9873-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3474-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-90-481-9873-3Series ISSN 1878-9447 Series E-ISSN 2543-0653 | | issn_series | 1878-9447 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 |
