Abstract

Abstract This paper reviews and discusses ideas and advice on quantitative methods teaching in the social sciences that were presented and debated in a series of workshops led by experienced university teachers of quantitative methods for social science students. Despite considerable similarity in course content for introductory statistics modules at the undergraduate level, there is often great freedom for teachers and so huge variation in how statistics is taught. This involves different approaches to theory, examples, practical exercises and so on. We argue that there is no single style that would be most effective for everyone, but instead it is important for teachers to teach in a style that suits them.

按自己的方式去做:大学社会科学专业学生定量方法教学中个人风格的变化与重要性
本文回顾和讨论了在一系列由经验丰富的大学社会科学学生定量方法教师领导的研讨会上提出和辩论的社会科学定量方法教学的想法和建议。尽管本科阶段的入门统计学模块的课程内容相当相似,但教师通常有很大的自由,统计学的教学方式也有很大的差异。这涉及到理论、例子、实践练习等不同的方法。我们认为,没有一种风格对每个人都是最有效的,相反,教师以适合自己的风格教学是很重要的。
