| Sumario: | An experiment examined the relation between students analyzing unique versus shared data sets for a psychology statistics homework assignment and their subsequent performance on an exam. Male and female undergraduates first analyzed either a common or unique data set for an assignment on repeated measures analysis of variance. Several weeks later, participants completed a regularly scheduled exam covering the target material. Students who previously had analyzed unique data sets scored significantly higher on both computational and conceptual exam items than did students who had analyzed shared data sets. Thus, analyzing unique data sets appeared to promote learning of statistical principles and procedures. Benefits and limitations of using the unique data set strategy are discussed. |
