Discovering Journals: A Strategy for Enhancing the Introductory Statistics Course for Undergraduate Students
Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, v47 n1 p75-88 2025
Undergraduate students outside Statistics major frequently take only one class of Basic Statistics or Introductory Statistics during their studies. As a consequence, many of them have little knowledge about advanced statistical methods, such as logistic regression, nonparametric procedures, and multivariate analysis, although they might need to perform it in the future. We have developed a teaching strategy to introduce these topics to first-year students who take the Introductory Statistics course by asking them to discovering scientific journals in groups and present them. A discussion feature in the Moodle e-learning systems really helps us to carry out this strategy effectively. We discuss some benefits of this strategy as well as some pitfalls that can be occurred during its implementation.
