Mathematics in T level Science : Teaching Chi-squared RX063
Explore why the Chi-squared test is used, how the test is performed and how to interpret the results
Summary
Are you looking to develop your students' understanding of statistical tests in T Level Science? This course forms part of a suite of CPD designed to provide you with a deeper understanding of the statistical tests required in T level Science.
This course builds upon the content in 'RX062 An introduction to statistical tests in T level science' course in order to develop methods of teaching to develop deeper understanding. You will explore the uses of the Chi-squared test and situations in which the test should be used and consider how the Chi-squared value is used to determine when to accept or reject the null hypothesis.
This suite of short professional development courses been have developed provide support for the statistical tests which are embedded throughout the T level qualifications. Each course will develop pedagogy, mathematical subject knowledge and highlight resources suitable for classroom use. The other three courses in this suite are:
RX062 An introduction to the Statistical Tests in T Level Science (2 hours)
RX064 Mathematics in T level science: Teaching student t-test (2 hours)
RX065 Mathematics in T level science: Teaching tests for correlation (2 hours)
If you'd like to book to attend the full suite of courses, please see RX067 Understanding the statistical tests in T Level Science
Outcomes
By attending this session you will:
- Understand why the Chi-squared test is used.
- Consider how the Chi-squared test is used to find ‘goodness of fit’
- Consider how the Chi-squared test is used as a ‘test of association’
- Explore what the Chi-squared tables tell us
