Tucker, Mary C.; Shaw, Stacy T.; Son, Ji Y.; Stigler, James W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2023
We developed an interactive online textbook that interleaves R programming activities with text as a way to facilitate students' understanding of statistical ideas while minimizing the cognitive and emotional burden of learning programming. In this exploratory study, we characterize the attitudes and experiences of 672 undergraduate students as…

Son, Ji Y.; Blake, Adam B.; Fries, Laura; Stigler, James W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Students learn many concepts in the introductory statistics course, but even our most successful students end up with rigid, ritualized knowledge that does not transfer easily to new situations. In this article we describe our attempt to apply theories and findings from learning science to the design of a statistics course that aims to help…

Beckman, Matthew D.; Çetinkaya-Rundel, Mine; Horton, Nicholas J.; Rundel, Colin W.; Sullivan, Adam J.; Tackett, Maria – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
A version control system records changes to a file or set of files over time so that changes can be tracked and specific versions of a file can be recalled later. As such, it is an essential element of a reproducible workflow that deserves due consideration among the learning objectives of statistics courses. This article describes experiences and…
