THE ROLE OF NON-COGNITIVE FACTORS IN THE INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS CLASSROOM
The study reported in this paper aimed to not only understand student attitudes towards statistics, but also their beliefs about their ability to perform statistical tasks (self-efficacy), the value they place on carrying out course and statistical tasks (task value), and level of effort they perceive when engaging in these tasks (cost) across a semester in an undergraduate introductory statistics course. Findings indicated that students viewed statistics as more difficult, less valuable, and more costly to engage in as the semester progressed. Further, students also reported an increase in avoidant help-seeking behaviors (e.g., not seeking help when needed). Non-cognitive factors were not found to predict course retention. Variables of affect and self-efficacy, however, were shown to predict overall course grade.
期刊介绍:
SERJ is a peer-reviewed electronic journal of the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) and the International Statistical Institute (ISI). SERJ is published twice a year and is free. SERJ aims to advance research-based knowledge that can help to improve the teaching, learning, and understanding of statistics or probability at all educational levels and in both formal (classroom-based) and informal (out-of-classroom) contexts. Such research may examine, for example, cognitive, motivational, attitudinal, curricular, teaching-related, technology-related, organizational, or societal factors and processes that are related to the development and understanding of stochastic knowledge. In addition, research may focus on how people use or apply statistical and probabilistic information and ideas, broadly viewed. The Journal encourages the submission of quality papers related to the above goals, such as reports of original research (both quantitative and qualitative), integrative and critical reviews of research literature, analyses of research-based theoretical and methodological models, and other types of papers described in full in the Guidelines for Authors. All papers are reviewed internally by an Associate Editor or Editor, and are blind-reviewed by at least two external referees. Contributions in English are recommended. Contributions in French and Spanish will also be considered. A submitted paper must not have been published before or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
