Abstract:
|
GAISE gives recommendations for improving statistical education, but does implementing these guidelines improve statistical education? How can we test whether changes do indeed improve students' knowledge and understanding? How can a clinical trial be performed? Panelists will discuss challenges that they faced in conducting experiments in statistical education and give their recommendations for others wishing to conduct such research.
