This session is a basic introduction to descriptive statistics for research administration professionals. No worries! Excel will be used throughout, nothing will be calculated by hand. Averages (means), medians, standard deviations, correlations and other basic statistical concepts will be explained using only research administration data as context. A sample research administration data set will be provided and Excel will be used to analyze the data. Some sample charts and best practices in creating these charts will also be shown. Again using Excel. This is the perfect session for anyone in research administration whose roles include analyzing data using descriptive statistics. Whether you are new to statistics or whether you can't remember a statistics class you might have taken at some point. Basic knowledge of Excel would be helpful for this session.

Forward Trajectories Initiated from ACCLIP Airborne In Situ Observations. Version 1.0
Transport statistics related to air masses sampled by the NASA WB-57 research aircraft during the Asian summer monsoon Chemical and Climate Impact Project (ACCLIP). These statistics are derived from 60-day forward trajectory modeling with parcels initiated along the research flight tracks.

Cerniak, J; Wong, M.S.; Rosen, L.H. (Ed.)This chapter describes the adaptation of the Passion-Driven Statistics curriculum to an online graduate statistics course. Employing this project-based approach, students worked in teams applying different multivariate methods to answer research questions using large, publicly available datasets. Students were able to formulate research questions based on their interests, and the class culminated in a final project for which students created a scientific poster and presented it to their colleagues. Students viewed the Passion-Driven Statistics approach favorably, and the majority felt prepared for more advanced coursework and indicated what they learned in class would assist with completion of their thesis work.more » « less

Abstract This perspectives article uses a postdisaster school recovery research domain to examine two tenets of interdisciplinary research (IDR): integrative problem formulation and synthesis. Advancing interdisciplinary knowledge requires a “roadmap” of commonalities between disciplinary domains and outcomes of interest. Four school recovery domains—child trauma, educational learning outcomes, school safety, and household and community recovery—are presented to highlight common frameworks for IDR. A case study is also used to illustrate the value of interdisciplinary research and mixed‐methods approaches, including statistics, geospatial analysis, and spatial statistics, for answering questions regarding how school contexts and location influence school recovery patterns.more » « less

Scherschel, H.; Rudmann, D.S. (Ed.)Passion-Driven Statistics is a project-based, introductory curriculum implemented as a course in statistics, research methods, data science, a capstone experience, and a summer research boot camp with students from a wide variety of academic settings. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the curriculum engages students in authentic projects with large, real-world data sets. Passion-Driven Statistics students were more likely to report increased confidence in working with data and increased interest in pursuing advanced statistics course work compared to students from the traditional statistics course (Dierker et al., 2018a). This presentation draws on pre/post data from 67 instructors attending a Passion-Driven Statistics faculty development workshop. Analyses evaluate instructor characteristics, attitudes, and experiences that predict its implementation. Findings show that nearly half of the instructors who reported being likely to implement passion-driven statistics and a quarter of the overall sample employed the project-based curriculum by the end of the first full academic year following the workshop. Those showing this fast uptake were more likely to be female than those who had not yet implemented (87.5% vs. 55.3%), were more likely to hold a Ph.D. (94.1% vs. 59.2%), and were more likely to be employed by a private rather than public institution (76.5% vs. 46.0%). Those showing fast uptake were also more likely to have been previously using statistical software (i.e., SAS, JMP, R, Stata, Python, or SPSS) in their target course (70.6% vs. 40.0%) and to have greater prior experience with project-based skills and fewer post workshop concerns about their likely success. Results from these analyses will guide recommendations for 1) engaging instructors ready to implement innovation in learning and teaching and 2) supporting those instructors requiring additional time, training and skills. Instructors are the most important resource for promoting innovations and all materials are open educational resourcesmore » « less

Peters, S. A.; Zapata-Cardona, L.; Bonafini, F.; Fan, A. (Ed.)The Motivational Attitudes in Statistics and Data Science Education Research group is developing a family of validated instruments: two instruments assessing students’ attitudes toward statistics or data science, two instruments assessing instructors’ attitudes toward teaching statistics or data science, and two sets of inventories to measure the learning environment in which the students and instructor interact. The Environment Inventories measure the institutional structures, course characteristics, and enacted classroom behaviors of both the students and instructors, all of which interact with the student and instructor background. This paper will discuss our proposed theoretical framework for the learning environment and its development.more » « less
