Descriptive and Inferential Statistics techniques for carrying out educational research such as coding and organizing data, sampling, correlation, t test, simple linear regression, and ANOVA.


Course Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:

  • demonstrate comprehension of basic statistical concepts and procedures
  • demonstrate the ability to apply basic statistical procedures and concepts to solve theoretical and practical problems
  • identify appropriate statistical procedures for specific problems or hypotheses in educational research
  • utilize statistical values such as e?ect sizes, null hypothesis signi?cance tests, con?dence intervals
  • compare means (speci?cally the z-test, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple comparisons procedures)
