Statplay是在任何学科的入门统计课程中概念理解的多媒体。其目的是帮助克服对基本统计概念的误解,从而改善教育,并促进社会和行为科学研究人员对统计实践的高度理想的改革。 Statplay包括在分布,数据,采样,估计和统计显着性测试的广泛领域的许多微世界中的模拟和工具。 Statplay设计策略包括提供生动的概念带图像,动态链接的概念的多个图像,高度的交互性以及用于多媒体演示的录音和播放的设施。统计工作的课堂经验非常积极,现在正在寻求商业化。我们简要介绍了我们的介绍性统计数据的目标,设计和使用的目标,设计和使用。背景是,我们看到了统计学教育者的两个基本挑战:克服对关键统计概念的广泛误解,并帮助改革心理学和其他学科的统计实践。
StatPlay is multimedia for conceptual understanding in the introductory statistics course in any discipline. Its aim is to help overcome misconceptions about fundamental statistical concepts, and thus improve education and promote highly desirable reform of statistical practice by researchers in the social and behavioural sciences. StatPlay comprises simulations and tools in a number of microworlds in the broad areas of distributions, data, sampling, estimation and statistical significance testing. StatPlay design strategies include provision of vivid take-home images of concepts, multiple images of concepts dynamically linked, a high degree of interactivity, and a facility for the recording and playback of multimedia demonstrations. Classroom experience with StatPlay has been very positive, and commercialisation is now being sought. We give a brief description of the goals, design and use of StatPlay, our multimedia for introductory statistics. The context is that we see two fundamental challenges for statistics educators: overcoming widespread misconceptions about key statistical concepts, and helping to reform statistical practice in psychology and other disciplines.
