| Summary: | Misconceptions in statistics among students of non-statistics major are quite common. This paper will present the
humble efforts of the author in trying to reduce misconceptions among her statistics students using technology. The
examples were drawn from the teaching and learning of statistics to Master of Technical and Vocational Education
students in the Tun Hussein Onn University of Malaysia. EXCEL spreadsheet, power point presentation slides and
concept mapping tool were integrated into classroom instructions for the topic of descriptive statistics. Increased
class-room interactions were observed through out the learning process and a decrease in the percentage of students
committing the identified misconceptions were recorded. Overall, the experience was a rewarding one for the author
as well as the students. |
