Statistical edutainment that counts

The use of edutainment can help engage students in discussion and learning key concepts about the timely topic of doing a census, including its importance and challenges.     

Statistical edutainment: Reversing comparisons

Educational fun items can be readily found and used to increase student motivation and learning. We illustrate resources and strategies for a specific piece of content: Simpson's paradox.     

Statistical edutainment with confidence

The use of cartoons, songs, and quotes can be a useful way to engage students in discussion and learning key concepts about quantifying the uncertainty in statistical estimates.     

Statistical edutainment that lines up and fits

Jokes, cartoons, songs, poems, and games can be useful ways to engage students in discussion and learning key concepts about regression.     

Statistical edutainment: An experimental way to teach for good measure

Concepts of experimentation and measurement are explored using statistics educational fun items and illustrated by sharing our process in conducting an experiment on cartoon captions.     

Teaching linear correlation using contour plots

This paper presents a novel method for introductory teaching of the sample linear correlation coefficient from a bivariate dataset. Linear correlation is typically included in curriculums at the secondary and introductory tertiary levels of education. The method discussed herein can be used by educators in elementary courses at either of these levels. We explain how scatterplots with the addition of contour plots can be used to teach the strength and direction of linear relationship between two variables; and demonstrate the production of contour plots using statistical computing software. Finally, we show how this innovative method could be included in classroom activities.     

Truth in edutainment: What you get is what you see

Discussion of “Visualizing statistical edutainment: What you see is what you get” by Lesser and Pearl.     

Visualizing statistical edutainment: What you see is what you get

Concepts of data visualization are explored using statistics educational fun items and illustrated by sharing results from the experiment we conducted on cartoon captions.     

统计数据:普通高校本科教学质量的重要标志--解读本科教学工作水平评估方案中的数据统计

对普通高校的本科教学工作进行水平评估是政府对高校实施监督和宏观调控的一种重要手段。教学工作水平评估方案是实施这种手段的唯一依据。评估方案中极大部分指标需要用数据统计来佐证,正确理解和处理好这些统计数据对提高教学质量,迎接本科教学工作评估大有裨益。     

Statistical knowledge and the over-interpretation of student evaluations of teaching

Research shows that teachers interpret small differences in student evaluations of teaching as meaningful even when available statistical information indicates that the differences are not reliable. The current research explored the effect of statistical training on college teachers’ tendency to over-interpret student evaluation differences. A sample of 225 English, mathematics and psychology teachers evaluated statistical reports of student evaluation data corresponding to a fictional teacher’s courses. Teachers from the three disciplines varied significantly in their statistics training, but there were no differences in their tendency to rate small, non-significant differences in student evaluations as indicative of the need to make improvements in a course. These results illustrate that statistical knowledge alone does not prevent the over-interpretation of student evaluation means.     

Helping Students Develop Statistical Reasoning: Implementing a Statistical Reasoning Learning Environment

This article describes a model for an interactive, introductory secondary‐ or tertiary‐level statistics course that is designed to develop students' statistical reasoning. This model is called a ‘Statistical Reasoning Learning Environment’ and is built on the constructivist theory of learning.     

弱简并条件下气体的热力学函数与量子统计关联

分析了弱简并条件下量子系统中粒子的交换对称性对热力学函数的影响,结果表明,交换对称性导致粒子间相互作用出现附加吸引势,交换反对称性导致附加排斥势的出现,从而使得系统的热力学函数出现修正项。     

TEM8统计分析及其对英语教学的启示

通过对本校139名学生参加TEM8-06考试的各分项成绩之间及其与总成绩之间的相关关系分析,发现学生各项语言技能的发展还不够平衡,尤其是听力理解和改错部分,同时,从分析结果中看出对学生的语法分析能力以及阅读能力的培养重视不够。     

娱教技术在中学信息技术教学中的应用研究

娱教顾名思义就是把娱乐和教育相结合,是学生在愉悦的环境下掌握新的知识,使学生感到学习不再是枯燥乏味的。那么娱教技术就是实现娱乐教学理念的媒介,其技术性主要体现在把学生们的生活体验及乐趣同学习的目的及手段相互有效的融合在一起。通过分析娱教技术及中学信息技术教学内容的特点,探讨一下如何将娱教技术运用到中学信息技术教学中来。     

统计的作用谈

为适应市场经济的需要 ,统计应积极从开展统计调查、统计分析和预测加以改进 ,充分发挥其应有的作用 ,更好地为社会主义建设服务。     

A probabilistic explanation of Pearson's correlation

Pearson's product‐moment correlation can be explained by means of the probability of concordant pairs of observations on two continuous variables (ie, the order of the observations from two randomly selected individuals is the same between the two variables). The probability of concordant pairs features relatively easy computation and offers an alternative perspective on Pearson's correlations.     

试述企业统计创新

提高企业统计信息化水平是企业信息化建设的一个关键环节,而现实的企业统计工作常常受到制约,因此应从统计观念、统计职能、统计技术、统计内容、统计人才等多个方面进行创新。

Statistical investigation measuring intelligence and creativity

The use of statistical investigations as a teaching strategy have been shown to both motivate and engage students. The implementation of a statistical investigation to measure intelligence is described, covering core statistical principles and key elements of research design.     

以财务杠杆为例谈统计相对指标在财务分析中的应用

统计相对指标在财务分析中有着广泛的应用,其难点是将统计相对指标和财务分析有机融合起来,特别是对复合相对指标的应用难度更大。财务分析教学应结合课程特点,注重对统计思想的挖掘和传递,注重对学生统计思维能力的进一步培养和塑造,通过指标属性分析、计量分析、计算及具体财务分析这些步骤,培养学生综合应用能力,提高学习效果。
