Statistics Instruction: The Next Generation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Prybutok, Victor R.; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Described are examples of classroom exercises that use interactive graphics software for personal computers to enhance the teaching of statistical concepts by allowing students to generate multiple examples, make conjectures, and verify their findings about the concept. The transfer of this interactive tool to other subject areas is suggested.…
