Andrew Zieffler Psychological foundations and quantitative methods in education Lecturer Ph.D., University of Minnesota Office: 167 Education Sciences Building Tel: 612-626-4081 E-mail: zief0002@umn.edu

My research interests are in the teaching and learning of statistics. I am also interested in measurement and assessment. I am currently working with Joan Garfield on a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project to develop and evaluate an innovative, activity-based curriculum for introductory statistics (AIMS) that does not follow a traditional ordering of topics.

Are you interested in finding a graduate program in statistics education?

• Courses in statistical education
• Degrees in educational psychology—statistics education concentration within the quantitative methods in education track

Courses I teach

• EPSY 3264—Basic and Applied Statistics
• EPSY 8261—Statistical Methods I: Probability and Inference
• EPSY 8262—Statistical Methods II: Regression and the General Linear Model
