Monitoring Students’ Success Rate in College Statistics with Categorical Data Analysis
Original language description
The paper reviews the students’ success rate development trends in the course of basic statistics at the College of Polytechnics Jihlava from 2006 to 2018. The analysis confirmed a continuous downward trend in success rates over the first years, followed by a period of improvement in the last few years, unfortunately not strong enough to match the initial figures. The results have prompted certain modifications as well as the development of support measures to ensure better success rate and improved and more comprehensible approach to statistics education that would allow the students to form better relationship with the subject and understand its usefulness in everyday life. The available data were analysed using the categorical data analysis, i.e. the Pearson’s chi-square test of independence in contingency tables, while the correspondence analysis served as a tool for graphical display of the sets of data.
