Students majoring in statistics typically consider mathematical statistics a difficult subject, with its the abstruse theories and low sense of accomplishment. This study applied R-SHINY programs in graphic drawing and statistical simulation to help students learn abstract mathematical concepts and enhance learning effectiveness through data visualization. Participants included students who took the course of mathematical statistics in the academic year of 2018, and they were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using the R-SHINY programs integrated into the conventional instructional method, while the control group was taught using only the conventional method. The results indicated that the presentation of dynamic graphics, led the experimental group to exhibit better learning; in addition, visualized presentations and explanations helped the students understand statistical theories, thus increasing learning effectiveness. The results also revealed that the experimental group had higher learning effectiveness than the control group. Further, through poster presentations, students were shown to learn statistical theories and programming simultaneously. Moreover, teachers' questions can help make students aware of their misconceptions about mathematical statistics, thereby achieving their learning goals. |
