The text differs from traditional texts in both content and pedagogy. Statistical inference is introduced using simulation-based methods in Chapter 1. This allows students to intuitively understand the process of inference from the very beginning of their course. Concepts of statistical inference are then explored for the entire text instead of only the last half of many traditional texts. Students are actively engaged in the material through numerous activities in which they flip coins, draw cards, collect data, do computer simulations and run experiments. Computer simulations are done with freely available applets. (See Efficacy Flyer for information on student performance.)
We are currently working on an assessment initiative of our curriculum, other randomization curriculums, and more traditional introductory statistics curriculums. This assessment will include pre- and post- concepts and attitudes assessments as well as common exam questions. We are looking for participants and non-users of our curriculum are especially needed. Our goals are to determine what works, what doesn’t, comparisons by institution, instructor, style, etc. If you participate you will receive Individualized instructor reports to learn about your own students outcomes.
For more information about our curriculum or participation in our assessment efforts described above contact Nathan Tintle at nathan.tintle@isi-stats.com.
