Abstract

The article entitled “The ‘p-hacking-is-terrific’ ocean – a cartoon for teaching statistics” by Dinghan Guo and Yue Ma has been awarded the Peter Holmes prize for 2022 The aim of this prize is to highlight excellence in motivating practical classroom activity. This article describes using a cartoon depicting “going on a fishing expedition” to assist in classroom discussion, student discovery activity, awareness and understanding of the scientific dangers and potential mistakes in searching for evidence in the form of “statistical significance” to support a scientific hypothesis or claim. The article underscores the importance in teaching the understanding of fundamental statistical concepts and their responsible use, for all students no matter what their future, and in professional development and re-development for researchers in other disciplines. The article uses a conversational style to outline some ways in which the cartoon could be used with a set of trigger questions. Although it is not the type of cartoon that an instructor would just put up on the screen to get laughs and have a brief classroom discussion, it can be used at different educational levels, from senior school to postgraduate and workplace in other disciplines, to discuss and think about different levels of questions relevant to the teaching context and cohort. The core messages of the article, including the inevitability of eventually getting the outcome you want if you just keep trying, making assumptions as desired all the way, appear to be difficult to communicate even to experienced scientists, and the fishing analogy is direct while also allowing for diving into more complex underlying concepts if appropriate. With references to pertinent commentary from other disciplines, statisticians and statistical educators, the article demonstrates how a cartoon can capture attention, highlight an important problem in use and misuse of statistics in research, and be used to trigger questions and student exploration, enquiry and discussion at a level relevant to the teaching context and cohort. Overall, this article embodies the aim and spirit of the Peter Holmes prize in an excellent demonstration of a fun stimulus to trigger classroom discussion and student questions and enquiry, across disciplines and educational levels, in order to promote responsible use, and prevent or call out misuse, of some fundamental statistical concepts.

2022年彼得·霍姆斯奖公告
郭鼎涵、马玥的文章《p-hacking-is-terrific’ocean——一幅统计学教学漫画》荣获2022年彼得·霍姆斯奖。该奖项旨在表彰在激发课堂实践活动方面的卓越表现。这篇文章描述了使用一幅描绘“钓鱼探险”的漫画来帮助课堂讨论,学生发现活动,认识和理解科学危险和潜在的错误,以“统计显著性”的形式寻找证据来支持科学假设或主张。文章强调了对所有学生(无论他们的未来如何)的基本统计概念的理解和负责任地使用的重要性,以及对其他学科研究人员的专业发展和再发展的重要性。这篇文章使用了一种对话式的方式来概述漫画可以与一系列触发问题一起使用的一些方法。虽然它不是那种教师只是在屏幕上放上笑声和简短的课堂讨论的漫画类型,但它可以用于不同的教育水平,从高中到研究生和其他学科的工作场所,讨论和思考与教学背景和群体相关的不同层次的问题。这篇文章的核心信息,包括如果你只是不断尝试,最终得到你想要的结果的必然性,并一直按照你想要的方式做出假设,似乎很难与经验丰富的科学家交流,钓鱼的类比是直接的,同时也允许在适当的情况下潜入更复杂的潜在概念。参考其他学科、统计学家和统计教育家的相关评论,本文展示了漫画如何吸引注意力,突出研究中使用和误用统计的重要问题,并用于引发问题和学生在与教学背景和群体相关的层面上的探索、询问和讨论。总的来说,这篇文章体现了彼得·霍姆斯奖的目标和精神,它出色地展示了一个有趣的刺激,引发课堂讨论和学生的问题和探究,跨越学科和教育水平,以促进负责任的使用,防止或指出误用一些基本的统计概念。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
