Charles G. Minard – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2025
Controlling Type 1 error and encouraging reproducible research are important in clinical and translational research. These concepts are frequently discussed in lectures with mathematical language, analytic examples, and probability distributions that demonstrate the issues. However, first-time learners in biostatistics courses focusing on…

David Voas; Laura Watt – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2025
Binary logistic regression is one of the most widely used statistical tools. The method uses odds, log odds, and odds ratios, which are difficult to understand and interpret. Understanding of logistic regression tends to fall down in one of three ways: (1) Many students and researchers come to believe that an odds ratio translates directly into…

Sigal Levy; Yelena Stukalin; Nili Guttmann-Beck – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
Probability theory has extensive applications across various domains, such as statistics, computer science, and finance. In probability education, students are introduced to fundamental principles which may include mathematical topics such as combinatorics and symmetric sample spaces. Students pursuing degrees in computer science possess a robust…

Kosei Fukuda – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
In statistics classes, the central limit theorem has been demonstrated using simulation-based illustrations. Known population distributions such as a uniform or exponential distribution are often used to consider the behavior of the sample mean in simulated samples. Unlike such simulations, a number of real-data-based simulations are here…

Omar Abu-Ghalyoun; Adnan Al-Abed – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
This study investigates a range of non-normative ideas that pre-service teachers (PSTs) employ in reasoning about sampling variability. This issue was studied in the context of a content course on statistics and probability for pre-service middle grade teachers at a Midwestern American university. Analysis of seven PSTs' video and screen records…
