Abstract:
|
What are the most important statistical concepts that students should learn in their first applied statistics course? How, in the context of a traditional course, especially one positioned as a service course, can we assure that students learn, understand, and internalize these concepts so that they can apply them effectively elsewhere? The panelists will propose a list of essential concepts and discuss incorporating such concepts into an introductory course. They will illustrate three basic approaches to presenting them: manipulative activities, computational software, and conceptual software. After discussion among the panelists, the audience will be invited to share comments and insights.
