Interactive Learning in Statistics and Students Performance in Higher Education

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of applying integrated learning tools to study statistics in a particular topic of sampling techniques. The researchers developed an interactive application, referred to as e-SampTec II, to enhance the overall student learning process. Based on a sample of 92 students from the Diploma of Applied Sciences at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Pahang, the mean test scores of the experimental group and control group were found to be significantly different at the 5% level. These results suggest that employing technology-assisted pedagogy can be a more compelling medium for teaching and learning the current university generation, and in turn, to enhance their overall study performance.
