Abstract
I will discuss the benefits and challenges of teaching students point and click statistics (in SPSS) and how we might help them move to script-based analyses (such as R). My focus will be on improving understanding and teaching reproducibility. I will also run through a couple of practical examples which I use with my students.
Speaker Bio
Andrew Jones is an Associate Professor of Health Risk Behaviours at Liverpool John Moores University, and has been teaching research methods and statistics across all levels for the past decade. More recently, he has co-authored a statistics textbook that emphasises the practical application of statistics in SPSS and R.
Video Presentation
Each presentation in this symposium will have two parts: a recorded video of about 45 minutes, and a live webinar of about an hour. Each speaker will record a video of their talk, which will be posted a week or two before the live webinar. At the live event, the presenter will give a brief recap of the highlights of the video, but most of the time will be reserved for discussion and questions from the audience. We therefore encourage symposium participants to watch the videos before the live events.
