A study of the application of computer programming to statistical procedures employed in empirical research and the interpretation of numerical results. Topics in statistics include: introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics, hypothesis testing, parametric and non-parametric tests (correlation, regression, the t-test, analysis of variance, and factor analysis). The underlying assumptions of several experimental designs will also be examined. The instructor and the student shall arrange a field-based pedagogical component whose goal is an exploration of the application of this subject matter to the secondary curriculum.
