| Course ID: | ERSH 4300/6300. 3 hours. | | Course Title: | Applied Statistical Methods in Education | Course
Description: | Techniques for describing and summarizing data for educational research studies. Applications of the standard normal distribution and the use and interpretation of standard scores. Inferential statistics for one and two population studies including means, proportions, and correlations. | | Oasis Title: | Applied Statistical Methods Ed | | Duplicate Credit: | Not open to students with credit in ERSH 4300E or ERSH 6300E | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered every year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | Course Objectives: | The overall goal of the course is to present an introduction to statistics that
emphasizes working with data and statistical ideas. The main objectives of the
course are:
1. To understand data.
2. To understand inference.
3. To apply descriptive and inferential statistics techniques.
In order to achieve the overall goal, the course will involve readings of the text,
a series of assignments to reinforce the key concepts, a set of computer exercises,
and three examinations. Most class sessions will include illustration of key
concepts developed through assigned readings, identification and discussion of
these concepts in actual research settings, and analysis and discussion of selected
problems involving these concepts. | | Topical Outline: | Statistical Data (Objective 1)
