Historically however, data have rarely been used at school level in such contexts because of the difficulties inherent in understanding multiple variable relationships. Stronger links across traditional subjects has proved an elusive aspiration for curriculum developers. We are currently engaged in a pilot project with the Northern Ireland Curriculum Authority (CCEA) to use some innovative interfaces with multivariate summary data as a focus for multiple perspectives on various contexts. Innovations in curriculum design offer opportunities for innovation in assessment. Often statistics assessment focuses primarily on accurate performance of routine calculations or graphical construction. Here the use of data is primarily to enhance understanding. This paper will explore mechanisms for embedding assessment of key statistical concepts within cross-curricular activities.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133104363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the abstraction level and the cumulative nature of the subject make statistics a difficult subject. A diversity of didactic methods has been devised to aid the student in the effort to master statistics, one of which is the method of propositional manipulation (MPM). Based on this didactic method, a corresponding assessment method has been developed. Basically, in using MPM for assessment purposes, the student is instructed to construct arguments using subsets of elementary propositions. In effect, the assessment procedure demands the student to display knowledge of the interrelationships between the propositions in a particular subset. Analysis of the student responses allows for scoring purely propositional knowledge, as well as conceptual understanding. In this paper we discuss research on the effectiveness of this assessment method, relative to assessment of conceptual understanding using concept mapping.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114636643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We supported the report writing and the project work by several means. Among others, we devel- oped an „exemplary project report” they were introduced to. This project report was written in two columns. In the first column the report about a question concerning a data set is with our best knowledge, in the accompanying second column, we reflect on the choices and options to be made in the respective stages of the report. The aim is to stimulate meta-cognitive activity and to help the students seeing the general in the particular of the exemplary report. We got several dozens of project reports and analyzed them carefully. We developed a grading scheme with several dimensions, including the quality of introductory and concluding sections, the quality of method choice and the quality of analysis and conclusions. We did not only pay at- tention to statistical quality but also to questions of style of writing such as whether the project question is introduced in a motivating manner and whether clear and convincing conclusions are presented to the reader with good communicative means including adequate graphs. The grading scheme was used to provide feed-back to the students. On the other hand we used this scheme for a systematic analysis of the available project reports. Weaknesses and strengths, most difficult areas for our students were identified and we were able to reflect on the adequacy and the shortcomings of our guiding “exemplary report” and our grading scheme.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132368737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As our students are business students, we aim for them to become both producers and literate consumers of statistical analysis. In line with reform movements in Statistics Education and the GAISE guidelines, we are working to implement teaching strategies and assessment methods that align instruction and assessment with our learning goals. One of the main instructional tools we use is group projects with elements of peer and self assessment. This paper describes how peer evaluations are carried out, how they are summarized and why we believe that explicitly incorporating these self and peer assessments has improved student learning both in communicating and in consuming statistical information.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"394 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115223034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that reason, research courses in research method and biostatistics are open for all kinds of participants, which mean that a large variety of applied topics are represented in each course. The participants are commonly involved in the research process on different stages, some of them having only a research topic, others have collected all data. Furthermore there is also a variation in opinion about statistics, not regarding the need for statistics but the concerns about the demand for mathematical skills etc. The heterogeneity of the participants’ research fields and experience in research is a real challenge in teaching but also in assessment of learning. However, a common issue is that all participants are highly motivated as they need knowledge and understanding in statistical thinking and literacy. The aim of this paper is to present the experiences of an examination approach in which the participants get the opportunity to formulating their own examination tasks based on own research problems and to solve them. This approach not only improved the participants’ learning and understanding, but good statistical practice was also implemented the research group as a whole.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125228035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Assessing understanding of the concept of interaction in analysis of variance","authors":"Katy Green","doi":"10.52041/srap.07603","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52041/srap.07603","url":null,"abstract":"Students have difficulty understanding the concept of interaction in analysis of variance, implications of the presence of a significant interaction for interpretation of main effects, and appropriate follow-up procedures. While grasping computational procedures and how to get software to generate the appropriate terms, interpretation and communication of results poses a challenge. In this paper exercises for teaching interpretation of interaction are presented. The context was an anova course designed for doctoral students in a college of education. These students are typically interested in substantive research areas such as counseling or educational administration, so the course is applied in nature. The approach taken to teaching interaction was scaffolding or layering of skills. Students first listened to explanations and examples of what interaction is and answered multiple choice questions oriented to comprehension and application outside of class. They then worked in small groups in class to calculate interaction terms both by hand and using statistical software. Next students wrote both technical summaries of results suitable for submission to a journal and one-paragraph “press releases,” both of which were critiqued by the course instructor and graduate teaching assistant. These exercises were standard across students and were highly structured. Students then received different data sets and were asked to repeat the analysis, technical, and brief write-up of results for the new data as a homework exercise. The “press releases” were the basis of 5-minute in-class presentations done to encourage verbal communication of results. After the presentation, classmates were given a 3-item quiz about their understanding of the results just presented. The quiz responses were used as feedback to the presenter about the effectiveness of their communication. Successes and failures of this approach are discussed as are thoughts about future directions in teaching about interaction.","PeriodicalId":148864,"journal":{"name":"Assessing Student Leaning In Statistics IASE Satellite Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124964999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
