Join us at 6:00 pm EDT on Tuesday, April 26 in RCOE 124 A&B and on zoom for a presentation by Kristen Roland on helping students develop intuition based on statistical inference. Registrants will receive an email prior to the session with information on how to participate via Zoom. Renewal credit certificates are available for educators.

About their talk: The intuition that is needed to develop a robust understanding of hypothesis tests and p-values can feel mysterious to learners of statistics. A method that has been gaining traction in statistics education over the last decade to promote the development of intuition and to visualize the abstract nature of theory-based inference is simulation-based inference. One such method is through the use of randomization techniques that leverage sampling variability to develop a "chance model" through which a decision about the hypothesis can be made. These techniques are being used in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, the Common Core, and modern introductory statistics courses. This seminar will provide a look into the randomization-based inference method, with a focus on the initial intuition behind the "chance model". Time permitting, we will discuss randomization techniques associated with a hypothesis test for one proportion, two proportions, and two independent means.

About the speaker: Dr. Kristen E. Roland is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Appalachian State University. She received her PhD in Mathematics Education with a strong focus in statistics and statistics education from the University of Georgia in 2020 with prior degrees in Statistics from the University of Rhode Island (MS, 2011) and Sonoma State University (BS, 2009). She specializes in statistics education at the post-secondary level with a particular focus on communicating uncertainty in statistical analysis by way of confidence intervals. Recent accomplishments include becoming an AMTE STaR Fellow, publication of a textbook chapter, two presentations and conference proceedings at the Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (RUME), and two presentations and conference proceedings at the upcoming International Conference for Teaching Statistics (ICOTS) in the middle of September in Argentina.
