Abstract:
|
The Active Student Learning Model of statistics education is based on two core assumptions. Embedding statistics training in the context research design enhances students' comprehension of statistics and experiential work causes students to actively engage in statistical reasoning and thinking leading to greater knowledge and usable skills. Class time is structured for activities, aided by Just-in-Time Lectures. Students create Note Sets and Exams based on readings, use statistical software to conduct analyses of data, conduct an experiment involving all aspects of the process including literature review, proposal writing, power analysis, IRB review, database management, data cleaning, statistical analyses, manuscript preparation and formal presentation. Grades are based on students' demonstration of growth in statistical reasoning, and thinking skills.
