Making Sense of Data and Statistics in Psychology

Rate this book
Making Sense of Data and Statistics in Psychology grows out of the notable explosion in the number of students interested in studying psychology. The result of this surge is large class sizes and students with diverse backgrounds sitting side-by-side in lectures. Some students will have studied mathematics and statistics to a relatively advanced level, while many more will have a more modest background. Some will relish the prospect of learning about the quantitative aspects of psychology, while others will harbor reservations. This books how do profesors cater to the needs of students in a changing and challenging classroom climate? How do they present material to large and highly diverse groups of students in a way that all would find relevant? How do they help militate against the greater perceived anonymity of students and pupil-teacher distance? How do they present material so that students might make sense of data and statistical analysis, as well as being able to judge the plausibility of results produced by computers? These questions assess what is an academic reality for groups of psychology students the world over.
