Fostering Creativity, Teamwork, and Scientific Thinking in Introductory Statistics through Computer-Based Laboratories

该大学将在其统计学入门课程中使用计算机实验室练习，通过鼓励创造力、交流和团队合作来培养学生的科学思维。项目负责人正在构建实验室练习，强调真实世界的数据集和非平凡的数据操作。通过使用图形显示和各种其他计算机工具，学生更多地参与学习和发展当前课程中没有达到的直觉和理解水平。

The University will use computer laboratory exercises in its introductory statistics course to foster scientific thinking among students by encouraging creativity, communication, and teamwork. The project directors are constructing laboratory exercises that emphasize real-world data sets and non-trivial data manipulation. Through the use of graphical displays and a variety of other computer tools the students are more involved in learning and developing levels of intuition and understanding not achieved in the current course.
