Practical pedagogy

A pedagogical aid for linking methodological and statistical courses

Pages 155-171 | Published online: 18 Aug 2006

Using a strategy congruent with Greek's “active learning” (1995) and Chernak and Weiss's “activity-based learning” (1999), this paper outlines a heuristic mechanism that involves students with data collection, analysis, and utilization of 5 different software programs. To illustrate the process, a case study of my Spring 1999 graduate course in quantitative methods and computer utilization is presented.
