The Predictive Approach to Teaching Statistics [PDF]

Journal of Statistics Education, 2000
Statistics is commonly taught as a set of techniques to aid in decision making, by extracting information from data. It is argued here that the underlying purpose, often implicit rather than explicit, of every statistical analysis is to establish a set of probability models which can be used to predict values of one or more variables.

Teaching the principles of statistical dynamics [PDF]

American Journal of Physics, 2006
We describe a simple framework for teaching the principles that underlie the dynamical laws of transport: Fick’s law of diffusion, Fourier’s law of heat flow, the Newtonian viscosity law, and the mass-action laws of chemical kinetics. In analogy with the way that the maximization of entropy over microstates leads to the Boltzmann distribution and ...

Connected Teaching of Statistics [PDF]

, 1999
Statistics is considered to be a difficult science since it requires a variety of skills including handling of quantitative data, graphical insights as well as mathematical ability. Yet ever increasing special knowledge of statistics is demanded since data of increasing complexity and size need to be understood and analyzed.

Teaching Teachers to Teach Statistical Investigations [PDF]

, 2011
Despite its importance for the discipline, the statistical investigation cycle is given little attention in schools. Teachers face unique challenges in teaching statistical inquiry, with elements unfamiliar to many mathematics classrooms: Coping with uncertainty, encouraging debate and competing interpretations, and supporting student collaboration ...

Animated diagrams in teaching statistics [PDF]

Behavior Research Methods, Instruments, & Computers, 2003
In this study, we investigated whether computer-animated graphics are more effective than static graphics in teaching statistics. Four statistical concepts were presented and explained to students in class. The presentations included graphics either in static or in animated form.

Teaching statistics: making it memorable [PDF]

Proceedings of the First Scientific Meeting of the IASE Satellite Conference, 1993
How often do teaching and learning statistics at university seem to be actives directed primarily to students' passing assessments and gaining paper credentials. This tends to be the case especially in service courses, where, indeed, the vast majority of statistics students are found.
