A Driving Need for Innovation in Quantitative Reasoning Education

Why try Intellectus Statistics?

• COVID has significantly impacted students’ skills and knowledge in quantitative reasoning.   “Learning Loss” is becoming well-documented in K-12 with students losing about a grade level in quantitative reasoning and math skills.   Though students learning loss is significant, the students have still graduated high school and have proceeded to colleges and universities where their quantitative reasoning and math skills are a key factor for student retention and graduation.  Consequently, incoming freshman are at significant risk to perform poorly and drop out because of their learning loss.
• Colleges and universities must innovate their quantitative reasoning and math requirements and enable students to accelerate their learning so they can succeed in their courses and graduate in a timely manner.   One innovative strategy is to include statistics as a course that will satisfy university requirement for quantitative reasoning.  
• Statistics can be contextualized to a range of topics, making the concepts and methodologies more relevant for diverse populations of students.      Statistical methods course develops students’ math skills, research methods skills, and writing skills for research.   All these skills are required for a wide good jobs.
• Colleges and universities must also innovate teaching statistics with technology that provides the students with both scaffolding and agency to learn and apply statistical reasoning and methods.  Intellectus Statistics is that unique and innovative technology to provide the scaffolding and agency for students learning and faculty accelerating students’ learning.

How Intellectus Statistics Accelerates Students’ Learning Statistics and  Empowers Faculty to Teach Statistics

• Let’s faculty easily customize:
  • the scope and sequence of statistical methods
  • the relevant data sets for students

so faculty can engage students with relevant quantitative reasoning problems for students’ lives

• Provides students the scaffolding support for their learning so they can get contextualized help automatically as they apply various statistical methods (rather than just relying on a single faculty to provide tutorial help).
• Provide students with autodrafting of statistical outcomes so they have models of how to describe statistical findings, helping them learn to interpret the statistical findings(rather than just relying on a single faculty to provide tutorial help).
• Provide students with the math support with an integrated set of math lessons and tutorials to apply statistics (rather than just relying on a single faculty to provide tutorial help).
