Hadfield, Kimberleigh Felix – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Implementing formative assessment in large-enrollment statistics courses is recommended by mathematics and statistics education communities. Yet research maintains that large-enrollment courses employ few, if any, formative assessments, exacerbating negative attitudes toward statistics and low student achievement. This conceptual essay applies an…

Arjomandi, Amir; Paloyo, Alfredo R.; Suardi, Sandy – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Active-learning pedagogical practices are encouraged in the education literature to improve academic outcomes. The research reported in this paper explored the effect of real-time interactive polling--a type of active learning--on three measures of academic outcome: final marks, student engagement, and failure probability. To provide credible…

Spencer, Dan; Griffith, Emily; Briska, Kayla; Post, Justin; Willis, Chris – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
The current study aimed to understand not only students' attitudes towards statistics, but also their beliefs about their ability to perform statistical tasks (self-efficacy), the value they place on carrying out course and statistical tasks (task value), and the level of effort they perceive when engaging in these tasks (cost) across a semester…

Kelly Findley; Brein Mosely; Aaron Ludkowski – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
Reform efforts in statistics education emphasize the need for students to develop statistical thinking. Critical to this goal is a solid understanding of design in the process of collecting data, evaluating evidence, and drawing conclusions. We collected survey responses from over 700 college students at the start of an introductory statistics…

This article reports on an evaluation the effectiveness of e-mailed grade "nudges" on students' performance and engagement in an introductory statistics course for undergraduate health science students. In 2020-2021, 358 students were randomized to an e-mail (n = 178) or no e-mail (n = 180) group. The intervention e-mail contained…

Whitaker, Douglas; Unfried, Alana; Bond, Marjorie – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) is a widely used family of instruments for measuring attitude constructs in statistics education. Since the development of the SATS instruments, there has been an evolution in the understanding of validity in the field of educational measurement emphasizing validation as an on-going process. While a…

Legacy, Chelsey; Zieffler, Andrew; Fry, Elizabeth Brondos; Le, Laura – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
The influx of data and the advances in computing have led to calls to update the introductory statistics curriculum to better meet the needs of the contemporary workforce. To this end, we developed the COMputational Practices in Undergraduate TEaching of Statistics (COMPUTES) instrument, which can be used to measure the extent to which computation…

Dart, Sarah – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Statistics courses are frequently perceived by tertiary students as extremely difficult and anxiety-inducing, negatively impacting student outcomes and experiences. To address this, the present study considered worked example videos (where an instructor demonstrates the solution to a problem while narrating the process) as a blended learning…

Findley, Kelly – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) carry a substantial instructional role in introductory courses for many mathematics and statistics departments. As a result, many GTAs have first-hand influence on the initial statistical impressions of students from a range of disciplines. But as simultaneous learners of the discipline themselves, GTAs in…

Mike, Koby; Hazzan, Orit – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Data science is a new field of research that has attracted growing interest in recent years as it focuses on turning raw data into understanding, insight, knowledge, and value. New data science education programs, which are being launched at an increasing rate, are designed for multiple education levels and populations. Machine learning (ML) is an…

Vance, Eric A.; Glimp, David R.; Pieplow, Nathan D.; Garrity, Jane M.; Melbourne, Brett A. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Despite growing calls to develop data science students' ethical awareness and expand human-centered approaches to data science education, introductory courses in the field remain largely technical. A new interdisciplinary data science program aims to merge STEM and humanities perspectives starting at the very beginning of the data science…

Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine; Dogucu, Mine; Rummerfield, Wendy – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Many data science applications involve generating questions, acquiring data and preparing it for analysis--be it exploratory, inferential, or modeling focused--and communicating findings. Most data science curricula address each of these steps as separate units in a course or as separate courses. Open-ended term projects, however, allow students…

Cruz Lopez, Cecilia; Ojeda Ramirez, Mario Miguel – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
Statistical education is a very important area of research because it builds knowledge and promotes innovation in the courses of this discipline. Based on the advances in this area, changes in the content and approaches of the courses at all educational levels have been promoted in several countries. In this study, we examine programs of…

Abbiati, Nidia Nora; Fabrizio, María Del Carmen; López, María Virginia; Pérez, Adriana; Plencovich, María Cristina; Cueto, Gerardo – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
Students from non-statistics degree programs often perceive statistics as a burden, underestimating its usefulness and encountering difficulties that cause them anxiety and stress, which may lead many of them to fail statistics courses. Students' attitudes can hinder their learning and development of useful skills associated with statistical…

Corbo, Anna Regina; Sasaki, Daniel Guilherme Gomes – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
In general, engineering students show little interest in the activities inherent in statistics subjects. This claim may be partly explained by the competition with other subjects in the first years of undergraduate courses, or by student perceived low attractiveness of the classes. In this context, several studies indicated that methodologies…
