An Experimental Study of the Effects of Three Instructional Methods in Basic Probability and Statistics

Austin, Joe Dan

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 5, 3, May 74

Seventy-one college students were taught probability and statistics for one month by one of three methods: MP, manipulative-pictorial; P, pictorial; and S, symbolic. Analysis of variance yielded significant differences (p.05) between treatment groups for selected subtests of an achievement test and generally favored MP and P over S.
