Common Pitfalls in Quantitative Research – A Game of Family fortunes

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Common pitfalls in quantitative research were examined with two audiences using a Game-Based Learning (GBL) approach to support the engagement and interaction of participants. The researcher asked the UK mathematics and statistic community to determine the game's answers. This approach mignited an enthusiasm to discover the benefits, which was later delivered at the CETL/MSOR annual conference. The paper explores the design and delivery of the Game-based learning session and
evaluates how this action research can benefit teaching quantitative concepts in the future.
