Using a problem-based approach to teach statistics to postgraduate science students: A case study

Thomas Jaki, Melanie Autin

Cited by 8Open access

Abstract

The standard approach to teaching statistics is teacher-centered in which the lecturer tries to impose his knowledge onto the students. This method forces a particular learning style and pace on students, and students often fail to make the connection of when various statistical methods are appropriate. Here we discuss a statistics course for non-specialist postgraduate students at Lancaster University that uses a problem-based learning approach.
