An Error Analysis And The Impact Of Contingent Teaching In Solving Problems Involving Measures Of Dispersion

The importance of statistical learning has been widely discussed. However, little effort has been made to understand the difficulties of students in learning measure of dispersion, which is the key component to statistical learning. Employing multiphase mixed method, the present was divided into thr...
