Abstract:
|
Much effort has been expended to develop materials and methods to be used in teaching reformed introductory statistics courses. However, there remain substantial barriers to their production and implementation. These barriers include time, change, and technology. Interestingly enough, each of these is a barrier in a different way for faculty, students, and administrators involved in these courses. During this session we will present questions we have identified relating to these barriers, solicit additional questions from the audience, do a Pareto analysis to identify the audience's preferences, and address as many questions as possible, in order of the audience's preferences.
