Title: Evolution of Teaching Techniques for Undergraduate Statistics
Author(s): Jane L. Harvill*+
Companies: Baylor University
Keywords: Statistics content ; Statistics labs ; Interactive statistics ; Case study approach ; Media in statistics instruction
Abstract:

Undergraduate statistics courses have changed in a variety of areas: in content, in content delivery, in the inclusion of "labs" and exactly what those "labs" included. The computer began to play an integral part of instruction, and we investigate the affect of that now indispensable tool in teaching statistics. When the internet came into play, even more material was available - including media examples that abound. We explore the evolution of teaching techniques from chalk-and-talk, to the case studies, to simulation, to networked-based interactive statistics modules.
