An Approach of Statistics Teaching for Doctoral Students Whose Major is Not Statistics
Keywords:
Research Synthesis, Statistics Teaching Approach, Doctoral StudentAbstract
The objective of this research was (1) to synthesize research findings regarding on teaching techniques of statistics for doctoral students and (2) to propose an appropriate approach to teaching statistics for doctoral students whose majors are not statistics. Samples consisted of six research articles, six doctoral students, and three Instructors of statistics at doctoral level. The two research instruments were a data record form and an in-depth interview form. Data was collected during May-June 2022 and content analysis was used to analyze the data. The major research findings were as follows: (1) popular teaching techniques of statistics for doctoral students comprise group discussion, Concept-Based Instruction, individualized project, practice, multiple case studies, feedback/interaction, and informal meetings, and (2) the approach of teaching statistics for the doctoral students whose majors are not statistics should focus on teaching concepts along with practice.
