Associate Professor of Statistics Kirsten Doehler gave students in her Survey Sampling class an opportunity to serve society in a well-crafted service-learning (SL) experience.

This experience is chronicled in a recently published paper, “” This paper was published in the November 2018 issue of the Statistics Education Research Journal, a leading statistics education journal that is published twice a year. The service-learning project that students carried out supports recommendations of past president of the American Statistical Association, Robert Rodriguez, who has encouraged statisticians to serve humanity.

Doehler’s paper discusses results of a study conducted to investigate whether students’ attitudes towards community service changed after involvement in a statistical consulting-based service-learning project with a local non-profit organization. Quantitative and qualitative results are discussed, along with benefits of service-learning in statistics and suggestions on how instructors can help students have a successful service-learning experience.

Laura Taylor and Kirsten Doehler published their paper “Reinforcing Sampling Distributions through a Randomization-Based Activity for Introducing ANOVA” in the November, 2015 issue of the Journal of Statistics Education (JSE). This article discusses the implementation of an experiment to test the effectiveness of a randomization-based activity versus a traditional teaching approach to introduce the topic of ANOVA F-tests in an introductory statistics course. This is the pair’s second article in JSE; Doehler, Taylor, and collaborator Jessalyn Smith published “A Study of Faculty Views of Statistics and Student Preparation Beyond an Introductory Class” in JSE in 2013. Taylor and Doehler’s recent JSE publication is the second statistics education paper that the pair has published in 2015. Doehler and Taylor also published the paper “Incorporating Code-Based Software in an Introductory Statistics Course” in the International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology. This article provides recommendations on how to introduce students in an introductory statistics course to the use of code-based statistical software while minimizing student anxiety.
