Reverse-Traditional/Hands-On: An Alternative Method Of Teaching Statistics, Aliakbar M. Haghighi, Roozbeh Vakil, Johnson K. Wetiba

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper presents a method for teaching statistics called the Reverse-Traditional/Hands-On (RT/HO) method. The method includes student-generated data, use of a statistical computing package such as MINITAB to introduce statistical terms and methods, and a statistical research component. An analytic comparison of students’ successes in courses using the Traditional and RT/HO methods is presented.
