Abstract:
|
The CATALST course is an introductory statistics curriculum that is built on ideas of modeling and simulation, with "the core logic of inference" as the foundation (Cobb, 2007, p. 13). When applied to randomized experiments and random samples, Cobb refers to this logic as the "three Rs": randomize, repeat, and reject. One activity presented in the second unit of this course uses the bootstrap test to model the variation due to random sampling under the assumption of no group differences. The focus is for the students to consider the study design when modeling the variation in the simulation. Students usemodeling and simulation software called TinkerPlotsto explore statistical concepts throughout the CATALST course, including the bootstrap test.Participants in this roundtable session will be givenexamples of activities, which includescreen shots from TinkerPlots.
