Do traditional and non–traditional students differ in statistics

Initial Instructions: Research Report
score reflects a more positive attitude toward learning statistics. Refer to Tremblay, Gardner, and Heipel (2000) for information this scale.

• Read the following articles (both available in the Assessment section of the course homepage)
o Tremblay, Gardner, and Heipel (2000). Look at the scales they have used to measure statistics anxiety and attitude to studying statistics – we have used two of the same scales
o Bell (2003). Think about the argument made for differences between traditional and non–traditional students.

• The overall aim of our study is to explore whether traditional and non–traditional/ male and female/ low previous math experience and high previous math experience students differ in how they feel about studying statistics. We have two measures of how students feel about studying statistics – their attitude towards studying statistics (how positively they feel about it – measured on the ALS scale) their anxiety about statistics (how anxious they feel about statistics – measured on the SA scale). Decide which of these (attitude or anxiety) you wish to focus on.

• Conduct your literature search to explore this issue (you will need to find 10 to 15 peer reviewed articles). Some may be quite general (about study anxiety or attitudes to studying, some will be specific to studying statistics (statistics anxiety, attitude to statistics), some will be about the differences between traditional and non–traditional students / low and high previous math experience, and some will be even more specific (relating to differences in statistics anxiety or attitude to statistics between traditional and non–traditional/ low and high previous math experience).
o Read each article critically and type or write your own notes in a separate document – NEVER NEVER NEVER copy & paste from the articles!
o Keep a record of all references and sources

• Approach your literature search with an open mind asking one of the following questions:
o Do traditional and non–traditional/ low and high previous math experience students differ in statistics anxiety, and if so, how do they differ?
OR
o Do traditional and non–traditional/ low and high previous math experience students differ in attitude to statistics, and if so, how do they differ?

Question 1 comes from the Material from Chap 93, “The Last Will and Testament with Your concentration on “Sociological Significance of the Will,”

1. Question:
a. In two or three sentences, please define the exercising social control over others, including intimates, loved ones, or another targeted person(s).
In this case, this control is by filing a legal legal will that, for sure, will make possible the cruel or painful quality of life for those living person(s) in question, (Please make sure you source your material)

a. To you what are two good reasons the deceased may inflict pain or loss to a person(s) with a long life yet to live?
b. Briefly surmise and write and analyze the possible reasons of your own making, behind the emotional instability or psychological trauma of the dying person that would likely prompt executing a legal will so an other(s) will suffer, in some way, a “lifetime of misery for one of your reasons”

Question 2 comes from the material Neimeyer & Gamino – Chapter 84: “The experience of grief and bereavement.” Handbook of Death and Dying.” With special emphasis on the section: Meaning Reconstruction and the Narrative Turn:

BACKGROUND TO QUESTION 2:
You have lived with a loved one for many years. He/she has had a great personality, kind, with excellent behavior, engaged in very helpful acts and sacrifices made consistently during that time. You are also very well aware of this person’s having an unforgiveness attitude, especially when he/she feels slighted for almost any reason. At times, this person has abused alcohol, causing a longer time to forgive. This person also deeply believes in life after death, and consequences thereof! YOU are the person of whom was omitted from the legal will of the same person as defined in the background — who recently died.

He/she instead, willed a new lover the $78,327 in the former couple’s bank account, $103,331 in property value, and three valuable antiques, two of which had
sentimental value to both partners.

2. QUESTION (in two parts)

Analyze the background of the couple – leaving yourself some room to speculate on any special meaning you derive from the complexities of the personality

a. Define the “meaning construction and narrative turn” in the reading and some of it in your own words.
b. Then, in a long, substantive paragraph, propose, summarize, and analyze your own ”reconstruction and the narrative turn.” This reconstruction would provide you with, after your grieving, your development of a sense of self that makes sense to you — that to live in this world is now worth it. Use sources to include at least one outside of our learning resources.
