Summary:

"This book was designed to address the need for a comprehensive collection of classroom-tested activities that would engage students, teach correct principles, and inspire instructors. Each chapter describes one or more activities that are pedagogically sound, practical, easily implemented, and effective in helping students learn core topics in statistics and research methods in psychology and, more broadly, the social sciences. The primary audiences for this book are college instructors who teach undergraduate introductory courses in statistics and research methods (and introductory psychology) and high school AP Psychology teachers. Novice instructors, including graduate students, can use this book as a guided set of activities to launch in their classroom from the start, and veteran instructors can use these activities to replace or supplement existing teaching activities. The chapter authors represent a diverse group of experts in their respective fields. We have deliberately selected individuals who have distinguished teaching and/or publication records and who are representative of the audience for whom the book is written. Many of the authors have won local or national teaching awards, and some have authored textbooks in the areas of statistics and research methodology. As a whole, the group is demographically, geographically, and institutionally diverse"--Publicity materials. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved).
