UPDATE

Greetings.  A lot has been going on since 2010.  At USCOTS 2011, the Attitudes cluster met and presented several posters at the poster session.  I started doing a workshop, Identifying and Addressing Difficult Concepts in the Introductory Statistics Course.  I presented this workshop in Kansas City, KS; Monmouth, IL; Boston, MA; Jacksonville, FL; and San Diego, CA.  I also presented the workshop at USCOTS 2013 as well as a breakout session titled, What? Me Change? -- How to Plan, Implement and Evaluate Changes in Your Courses."

Exciting news to the statistics attitudes research arena is that a special issue of the Statistics Education Research Journal (SERJ) was published in November 2012.  This issue of SERJ was dedicated to attitudes research.  https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/publications.php?show=serjarchive  .  I had a paper published titled, Students’ Perceptions of Statistics: An Exploration of Attitudes, Conceptualizations, and Content Knowledge of Statistics .  Here is the link:  https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/serj/SERJ11(2)_Bond.pdf .
