Using Real Life Examples to Teach Abstract Statistical Concepts

This article provides real life examples that can be used to explain statistical concepts. It does not attempt to be exhaustive, but rather, provide a few examples for selected concepts based on what students should know after taking a statistics course.

The importance of context in task selection

Context is at the core of any statistical investigation, yet many statistics tasks barely require students to go beyond superficial consideration of the contexts the tasks are situated in. In this article, I discuss a framework for evaluating the level of interaction with context a task requires of students and how to modify tasks to increase the levels of interaction required.     

Students’ misconceptions of statistical inference: A review of the empirical evidence from research on statistics education

A solid understanding of inferential statistics is of major importance for designing and interpreting empirical results in any scientific discipline. However, students are prone to many misconceptions regarding this topic. This article structurally summarizes and describes these misconceptions by presenting a systematic review of publications that provide empirical evidence of them. This group of publications was found to be dispersed over a wide range of specialized journals and proceedings, and the methodology used in the empirical studies was very diverse. Three research needs rise from this review: (1) further empirical studies that identify the sources and possible solutions for misconceptions in order to complement the abundant theoretical and statistical discussion about them; (2) new insights into effective research designs and methodologies to perform this type of research; and (3) structured and systematic summaries of findings like the one presented here, concerning misconceptions in other areas of statistics, that might be of interest both for educational researchers and teachers of statistics.     

Inspired by Statistics?

This article considers being inspired by statistics as both a learner and a teacher. It looks particularly at a task involving research of Minard's Map, a statistical representation, to create and present a statistical task for a learner. It describes how the use of imagery, and the enthusiasm that developed as the map and its context were explored by the teacher, were passed on to the learner.     

Conceptual difficulties when interpreting histograms: A review

Histograms are widely used and appear easy to understand. Research nevertheless indicates that students, teachers and researchers often misinterpret these graphical representations. Hence, the research question addressed in this paper is: What are the conceptual difficulties that become manifest in the common misinterpretations people have when constructing or interpreting histograms? To identify these conceptual difficulties, we conducted a narrative systematic literature review and identified 86 publications reporting or containing misinterpretations. The misinterpretations were clustered and—through abduction—connected to difficulties with statistical concepts. The analysis revealed that most of these conceptual difficulties relate to two big ideas in statistics: data (e.g., number of variables and measurement level) and distribution (shape, centre and variability or spread). These big ideas are depicted differently in histograms compared to, for example, case-value plots. Our overview can help teachers and researchers to address common misinterpretations more generally instead of remediating them each individually.     

应用型本科院校应用统计学专业的实践教学体系建设研究——以徐州工程学院为例

在介绍应用统计学专业设置的背景和徐州工程学院应用统计学专业建设的基础上,以徐州工程学院为例,从三个方面介绍了如何加强应用型本科院校应用统计学专业的实践教学体系建设,以提高学生的统计实践与解决实际问题的能力。首先,应当充分利用学校的统计相关实验室和校外实践教学基地;其次,应当提高实践教学学分,以主流的统计软件来贯通相关的统计实践课程;最后,应当强化应用统计学专业和统计学学科建设一体化的实践教学体系建设思路,拓展应用统计学专业的实践应用领域。这为其他应用型本科院校的应用统计学专业实践教学建设提供一定的参考依据。     

Estimating Mortality in War‐Time Iraq: A Controversial Survey with Important Lessons for Students

In teaching introductory quantitative methods in sociology, I have used a controversial survey of mortality in Iraq before and after the 2003 invasion to highlight to students the power of simple questionnaires, the role of ambiguity in statistics and the place of politics in the framing of statistical results. This brief report summarizes Roberts et al.'s (2004) estimate that the invasion of Iraq resulted in 98,000 (95% CI = 8000–194,000) deaths, as well as the intriguing reaction that the survey received in the press. Statistics teachers should find the Roberts et al. study to be an effective way to introduce students to more controversial – and political – aspects of statistical research.     

Regression through the Origin

This article describes situations in which regression through the origin is appropriate, derives the normal equation for such a regression and explains the controversy regarding its evaluative statistics. Differences between three popular software packages that allow regression through the origin are illustrated using examples from previous issues of Teaching Statistics.     

Statistical reasoning of middle school children engaged in survey inquiry

The case study examined two groups of grade 7 students as they engaged in four inquiry phases: posing a question and collecting, analyzing, and representing data. Previous studies reported analyses of statistical reasoning on a single inquiry phase. Our goal was to identify the modes of statistical reasoning displayed during group discussions in all phases as children designed and conducted their own inquiry. A content analysis of audio and video recorded discussions yielded 10 statistical reasoning modes: six relate to Garfield and Gal’s [Garfield, J., Gal, I. (1999). Teaching and assessing statistical reasoning. In L. V. Stiff, & F. R. Curcio (Eds.), Developing mathematical reasoning in grades K-12. 1999 Yearbook (pp. 207–219). Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics] statistical reasoning types involved in the collection, analysis, and representation of data and four modes deal with an aspect of inquiry not exclusively focused upon in the literature on statistical reasoning—i.e., the problem-posing phase. Although students’ reasoning reflected an incomplete understanding of statistics they serve as building blocks for instruction.     

An Exploration of Students’ Statistical Thinking

SPSS软件在定性数据分析中的技术处理

本文主要讨论了利用SPSS软件做定性资料统计分析时如何恰当进行组织数据,就单变量、多变量的列联表及多选项三种形式的定性数据的输入方式和统计分析进行了详细的介绍.     

What is Strong Correlation?

Interpretation of correlation is often based on rules of thumb in which some boundary values are given to help decide whether correlation is non‐important, weak, strong or very strong. This article shows that such rules of thumb may do more harm than good, and instead of supporting interpretation of correlation – which is their aim – they teach a schematic approach to statistics. Therefore they should be avoided in a statistics course.     

统计教学改革探析

在我国社会主义市场经济体制下,一方面,随着高等教育体制改革和统计改革的深入发展,对统计教学模式和统计人才培养目标都提出了新的要求,原有统计教学的模式已经不能适应时代的发展;另一方面,随着科学技术的飞速发展也促使统计技术发生了重大的变革,新理论、新方法和新技术不断涌现并被应用于统计实践,这无疑对统计教学提出了更高、更新的要求。     

学习《概率论与数理统计》应该注意的若干问题（4）——正态分布在抽样分析中的地位

正态分布是随机变量分布中基础而且核心的分布。中心极限定理支持这样的结果：通过统计的手段,对任一个随机变量的分析和研究,可以借助于正态分布进行。在数理统计的抽样分析中,由（标准）正态分布的统计量的适当组合,产生数理统计中的其他三大基础分布。

Spurred by recent writings regarding statistical pragmatism, we propose a simple, practical approach to introducing students to a new style of statistical thinking that models nature through the lens of data‐generating processes, not populations.
