Edoardo Saccenti – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a powerful statistical technique for reducing the complexity of data and making patterns and relationships within the data more easily understandable. By using PCA, students can learn to identify the most important features of a data set, visualize relationships between variables, and make informed decisions…

Delport, Danri Hester – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Real-world data are fundamental to modern teaching methodologies that aim to improve statistical knowledge and reasoning in students. Statistical information is encountered in everyday life, such as media articles and involves real-world contexts. However, information could be biased or (mis)represented and students should be concerned about the…

Sønvisen, Signe A. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Teaching statistics to generalist students oriented toward a profession, rather than academic merits, may be challenging. As statistics courses also tend to have a low student appeal, tailoring a course toward this type of audience is demanding. Framed within the theory of statistical thinking and literacy, this article shows how an investigative…

Zhao, Fang; Schützler, Lena; Christ, Oliver; Gaschler, Robert – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
Constructing interactive web apps has become more accessible for instructors, for example, by using the R package Shiny. Here we explored learners' preferences and the efficiency of interactive simulations versus static pictures in acquiring statistics knowledge of Cohen's d and standard normal distribution. Results revealed that students'…

Fukuda, Kosei – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
This paper presents the importance of the visual expression of factor decomposition in regression analysis, which is particularly worthwhile for undergraduate students whose majors are not mathematics but social science. The conventional purpose of regression analysis is to examine specific hypotheses empirically. In particular, the statistical…

Brenneman, Matthew T.; Pierce, Rebecca L. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2023
We discuss a case study on how misinformation regarding COVID-19 health outcomes can arise due to confounding. Data from the UK on mortality rates suggest that people who have some level of vaccination and contract the Delta variant of COVID are twice as likely to die than those who are unvaccinated. Age, however, a confounding variable, when…
