Statistics I

This course introduces basic statistical methods, focusing primarily on descriptive statistics and inferential statistics up to and including two-way analysis of variance.

Prerequisites: Acceptance to UND Grad School as a degree or non-degree seeking student

Why take Statistics I?

This course introduces the logic and methods of statistics. We begin with a discussion of the role of statistics, introducing the concepts of internal and external validity. Common methods for describing the characteristics of individuals and educational outcomes are presented, including the use of graphs and summary measures such as the mean, median, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. Because of the large natural variability among individuals, one must be able to determine whether or not an apparent difference or patterns present in the data seems to be merely a chance occurrence. Probability concepts are introduced to help us in this effort. Probability then forms the basis of all of the inferential statistical procedures subsequently presented. At the end of the course, students will:

• identify basic statistical applications for educational research.
• explain how to implement quantitative approaches to educational research.
• identify types of statistical methods and strategies, and select data collection and analysis approaches for different research interests.
• integrate fundamental statistical theories and concepts with functions of SPSS programs in the context of an analysis project’s overall design.

Students have 3 to 9 months to complete 18 lessons, including a final research project. Each lesson contains a variety of items which include required chapter reading, a quiz on the reading assignment, at least one instructor video and supporting material for the lesson, and a lesson activity assignment. Lesson topics include:
