  7. Teaching • Changes in teaching: • Teaching & Learning Cycle (TLC) • Interaction with students • Hurdles of implementation (Searching & Finding) • Advantages of implementation

  8. Lecture Explore Assess Teaching & Learning Cycle • PowerPoint slides • Reference Materials • History • Demonstrations: • Applets • Videos • Simulations • Data Sets • Case Studies • Guided Demos • Simulations • Laboratories • Applets • Tutorials • Teacher-directed assessments • Laboratories • Homework Problems • Self-directed assessments • Immediate Feedback

  9. Lecture Explore Assess TLC: Regression Applets like this one from SticiGui Java Tools allow students to explore changes in the data to see how they affect the regression line. An in-class activity from the STAR Library can help introduce the concept of regression. Using self-tests like this one from Biometry: Statistics for Ecology, students can submit their answers and receive immediate feedback regarding questions answered correctly and questions or topics needing improvement.

  10. Lecture TLC: Regression http://www.causeweb.org/repository/StarLibrary/activities/buskirk_young2001/

  11. Using StatCrunch http://www.statcrunch.com/

  13. Assess TLC: Regression http://aerg.canberra.edu.au/cgi-bin/tiegen?/share/www/envirostats/bm/L6/ffq12.tie

  14. TLC: Hypothesis Testing Lecture Explore Assess DIGSTATS contains examples and data sets, like the one below about Acid Rain. The Intuitor site contains an introduction to hypothesis testing, relating it to what happens at a criminal trial. The ARTIST database contains questions classified by topic and learning outcomes.
