Application of Pedagogy Reflective in Statistical Methods Course and Practicum Statistical Methods

摘要

Subject Elementary Statistics, Statistical Methods and Statistical Methods Practicum aimed to equip students of Mathematics Education about descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The students' understanding about descriptive and inferential statistics were important for students on Mathematics Education Department, especially for those who took the final task associated with quantitative research. In quantitative research, students were required to be able to present and describe the quantitative data in an appropriate manner, to make conclusions from their quantitative data, and to create relationships between independent and dependent variables were defined in their research. In fact, when students made their final project associated with quantitative research, it was not been rare still met the students making mistakes in the steps of making conclusions and error in choosing the hypothetical testing process. As a result, they got incorrect conclusions. This is a very fatal mistake for those who did the quantitative research. There were some things gained from the implementation of reflective pedagogy on teaching learning process in Statistical Methods and Statistical Methods Practicum courses, namely: 1．Twenty two students passed in this course and and one student did not pass in this course. 2．The value of the most accomplished student was A that was achieved by 18 students. 3．According all students, their critical stance could be developed by them, and they could build a caring for each other through a learning process in this course. 4．All students agreed that through a learning process that they undergo in the course, they can build a caring for each other.
