Abstract

Many students in introductory statistics courses do not engage in learning under traditional classroom settings. A statistics instructor is often irritated by student behaviors such as sleeping, talking out of place, and acting bored or apathetic during lectures. The lecture and exercises in the computer laboratory should constantly compete with materials via the Internet to draw the attention of the student. To address problems in statistics education, we propose a digital nervous system in which a teacher and students can communicate with each other.

전통적인 강의실의 기초통계학 수업에서 많은 학생들이 수업에 집중하지 못하고 있다. 수업 시간에 졸거나, 잡담하거나, 휴대폰을 만지작거리면서 다른 생각에 잠겨 있다. 인터넷이 가능한 컴퓨터실에서의 강의와 실습은 인터넷이 제공하는 콘텐츠와 부단히 경쟁을 해야 한다. 이러한 문제를 조금이나마 해결해 보려고 시도한 방안이 교수와 학생을 하나의 유무선 네트워크로 묶는 교육용 디지털 신경시스템 하에서 기초통계학을 가르치고 학생들이 공부하게 하자는 것이다.
