Peer reviewedSterling, Joan; Gray, Mary W. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
An experimental class in introductory statistics (n=40) using simulation software at American University was compared to a traditionally taught control group (n=36) with respect to achievement and accrued beliefs about the benefits of the simulations. Results indicate significantly higher achievement scores for the experimental class with about…
