Online Statistics Labs in MSW Research Methods Courses: Reducing Reluctance toward Statistics
Elliott, William; Choi, Eunhee; Friedline, Terri
Journal of Social Work Education, v49 n1 p81-95 2013
This article presents results from an evaluation of an online statistics lab as part of a foundations research methods course for master's-level social work students. The article discusses factors that contribute to an environment in social work that fosters attitudes of reluctance toward learning and teaching statistics in research methods courses. Students' evaluations ("N"?=?25) suggest that implementing online statistics labs as a part of a foundations research methods course may help students form more positive attitudes toward statistics and improve their ability to read scholarly articles. Description of the course is provided, and challenges to implementation are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
