ASSESSING STUDENT LEARNING ABOUT STATISTICAL INFERENCE

摘要

Statistical significance and p-values can be a particularly challenging topic for introductory statistics students. In an effort to assess curricular changes aimed at deepening student understanding of significance, we have developed assessment strategies to diagnose students' conceptualization of p-value and their ability to communicate their understanding. We will present our approaches and discuss student performance after participating in randomization-based modules introducing the concept of significance.
