DIGSTATS
The quantitative
approach used in business and manufacturing to improve product quality
has introduced the need for a wide range of students to be aware of
basic statistical and data analysis techniques. DIGSTATS is an Internet
resource for integrating statistics and data visualization into mathematics
and science courses in secondary schools, community colleges and undergraduate
programs.
This pedagogical
approach allows students to begin to build a "cognitive chunk"
of statistical and graphical analysis knowledge they can use later
or on the job or in courses that incorporate mathematical theory and
calculations. Activities engage students in the statistical and graphical
analysis of "real world" data sets and the exploration of
three-dimensional data spaces using a Java 3-D Slicer.
