The volume collects the papers presented at the Conference “Stat.Edu’21 -New Perspectives in Statistics Education”. The Conference was held at the Department of Political Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II (25-26 March 2021). The conference was the final event of the “ALEAS - Adaptive LEArning in Statistics”, an ERASMUS+ project (https://aleas-project.eu) developed in the period 2018-2021 to design and implement an Adaptive LEArning system able to offer personalised learning paths to students, with the purpose to provide them remedial advice to deal with the “statistics anxiety”.Stat.Edu’21 aimed at stimulating discussions, solicitations and contributions around the central theme of ALEAS, the development of adaptive learning systems in the field of Higher Education as a complementary tool for traditional courses and promote a community of practice in this field.The volume collects 12 papers reporting reflections and quantitative studies covering mainly three topics: the assessment of the effects of anxiety or more generally of a different attitude in the study of Statistics, tools and methods for the assessment of training paths and technology-based learning experiences Il volume raccoglie i contributi presentati alla conferenza “Stat.Edu’21 -New Perspectives in Statistics Education”. La Conferenza è stata ospitata dal Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (25-26 marzo 2021). La conferenza è stata organizzata come evento finale del progetto ERASMUS+ “ALEAS - Adaptive LEArning in Statistics” (https://aleas-project.eu) che si è svolto dal 2018 al 2021. Il progetto ha avuto l’obiettivo di sviluppare e implementare un sistema di apprendimento adattivo che offra percorsi di apprendimento personalizzati agli studenti, con lo scopo ultimo di aiutare gli studenti a fronteggiare l’ansia statistica.Stat.Edu’21 ha stimolato riflessioni, discussioni e contributi sul tema di ALEAS e sullo sviluppo di sistemi di apprendimento adattivo in ambito universitario come strumenti complementari ai corsi tradizionali e contribuito lo scambio di buone pratiche.Il volume comprende 12 contributi che propongono riflessioni e studi quantitativi in particolare su 3 temi: la valutazione degli effetti dell’ansia o più generalmente lo studio di diverse attitudini nello studio della statistica, strumenti e metodi per la valutazione dei percorsi di insegnamento e le esperienze di apprendimento basate sulla tecnologia.

Mathematical anxiety is a feeling of tension, apprehension or fear which arises when a person is faced with mathematical content. The negative consequences of mathematical anxiety are well-documented. Students with high levels of mathematical anxiety might underperform in important test situations, they tend to hold negative attitudes towards mathematics, and they are likely to opt out of elective mathematics courses, which also affects their career opportunities. Although at the university level many students do not continue to study mathematics, social science students are confronted with the fact that their disciplines involve learning about statistics - another potential source of anxiety for students who are uncomfortable with dealing with numerical content. Research on mathematical anxiety is a truly interdisciplinary field with contributions from educational, developmental, cognitive, social and neuroscience researchers. The current collection of papers demonstrates the diversity of the field, offering both new empirical contributions and reviews of existing studies. The contributors also outline future directions for this line of research.
