A Demonstration of the Analysis of Variance Using Physical Movement and Space
Owen, William J.; Siakaluk, Paul D.
Teaching of Psychology, v38 n3 p151-154 Jul 2011
Classroom demonstrations help students better understand challenging concepts. This article introduces an activity that demonstrates the basic concepts involved in analysis of variance (ANOVA). Students who physically participated in the activity had a better understanding of ANOVA concepts (i.e., higher scores on an exam question answered 2 months after the classroom demonstration) than did students who simply observed the activity. (Contains 4 notes.)
