In an era increasingly driven by data and artificial intelligence, understanding, applying, and interpreting statistics meaningfully is paramount for both research teachers and data analysts. Where traditional statistics instruction hinges on rote memorization of formulas and procedural steps, meaningful statistics pedagogy offers a transformational shift fostering a robust conceptual foundation that transcends mere calculation. Introducing new complexities in its use in the statistical domains while significantly streamlining the analytical process, Artificial Intelligence tools should be critically examined to understand its limitations in identifying correlations and making predictions. For research teachers, it is molding students capable of not just using AI in their data analysis but training them to critically interrogate their results and understand its implications. Similarly, for data analysts, it is ensuring that artificial intelligence is harnessed ethically and responsibly; maintaining the integrity and reliability expected for data-driven decision-making. Emphasizing the “why” behind the “how,” how can one become research teachers and data analysts who not only cultivate statistical literacy but also, the critical thinking skills of their students and mentees?

AI's most transformative impact is currently realized in qualitative data analysis, aiding researchers in managing overwhelming volumes of interviews and field notes. AI tools assist by transcribing audio and performing initial passes on text to identify potential codes, suggest themes, and map relationships, significantly expediting the analysis process while complementing human expertise. Considering these advancements and the need for scholarly rigor and ethical integrity, how can one design and publish a qualitative research manuscript that effectively combines human-centered inquiry and machinesupported analysis?

Aiming to guide research teachers and data analysts in meaningful statistical pedagogy and application, the Asian Society of Teachers for Research, Inc. conducts the Training-Workshop on Meaningful Statistics Pedagogy for Research Teachers and Data Analysts on July 24-26, 2025 at the Goldberry Lite Hotel, Iloilo City, Philippines!

OBJECTIVES OF THE TRAINING-WORKSHOP:

1. To explain the core principles of meaningful statistics pedagogy and its importance for effective research and data analysis.
2. To acquire correct understanding of statistical concepts which leads to correct applications;
3. To find non-parametric measures when assumptions of parametric tests are not complied; and
4. To critically evaluate the role of AI applications and tools in streamlining statistical analysis.
