This ICME-13 Topical Survey provides a review of recent research into statistics education, with a focus on empirical research published in established educational journals and on the proceedings of important conferences on statistics education. It identifies and addresses six key research topics, namely: teachers’ knowledge; teachers’ role in statistics education; teacher preparation; students’ knowledge; students’ role in statistics education; and how students learn statistics with the help of technology. For each topic, the survey builds upon existing reviews, complementing them with the latest research. 

• Statistical Knowledge
• Statistical Beliefs
• Statistical Attitudes
• Teachers‘ Statistical Literacy
• Students‘ Statistical Literacy
• Teaching Statistics
• Learning Statistics
• learning and instruction

“The advertised purpose of the booklets was to update readers on recent developments in mathematics education. The booklet at hand attempts to do this in 28 pages … . this booklet might best be used to give researchers an overview of the field. It could also be a gold mine for a graduate student looking for a topic for a dissertation as the authors make numerous references to gaps in past research.” (Robert W. Hayden, MAA Reviews, maa.org, February, 2017)
