Today we face a more heterogeneous student population in higher education than before and it should be our main objective in this respect to ensure future-oriented, creative and innovative candidates as researchers in STEM subjects, as statistics, when we today face the era of digitalization and big data. In an ongoing study at the Norwegian University of Life Science we try to adapt to this diversity in the introductory statistical course. In 2016 the course was redesigned as a flipped classroom with cooperative learning activities in class. In 2017 further adaption were made: The students that preferred to work alone, could choose to solve problems individually and out of class. Output variables like exam scores and evaluations have been analyzed in light of the learning preferences of the students. Results show, among other, that the so-called digital and introverted students are over- represented in the group that took the course individually.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
