Abstract:
|
New course materials were developed for an introductory statistics course in which a real-time online database created by students was used to teach statistical concepts. This is part of an NSF-CCLI--funded project. The course materials and the real-time, online, hands-on activities were designed to create an active, learning-centered environment for the students. These activities have been incorporated into several sections of our introductory statistics class. Two instructors chose to teach two sections each. One section used the new course materials and the other section used the traditional lecture approach. Preliminary results on students' performance will be presented. Also, results from pre-post surveys on students' attitudes will be presented.
