Description: This work which provides a guide for revising and expanding statistical and quantitative methods pedagogy is useful for novice and seasoned instructors at both undergraduate and graduate levels inspiring them to use transformative approaches to train students as future researchers. Is it time for a radical revision in our pedagogical orientation? How are we currently teaching introductory statistics and quantitative methods and how should we teach them? What innovations are used what is in development? This ground - breaking edited volume addresses these questions and more providing cutting - edge guidance from highly accomplished teachers. Many current textbooks and syllabi differ in only superficial ways from those used 50 years ago yet the field of quantitative methods and its relationship to the research enterprise has expanded in many important ways. A philosophical axiom underlying this book is that introductory teaching should prepare students to potentially enter more advanced quantitative methods training and ultimately to become accomplished researchers. The reader is introduced to classroom innovation and to both pragmatic and philosophical challenges to the status quo motivating a broad revolution in how introductory statistics and quantitative methods are taught. Designed to update and renovate statistical pedagogy this material will stimulate students new instructors and experienced teachers.
