class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>When experienced analysts explore data in a rich environment, they often transform the dataset. For example, they may choose to group or filter data, calculate new variables and summary measures, or reorganize a dataset by changing its structure or merging it with other information. Such actions background, highlight, or even fundamentally change particular features of the data, allowing different types of questions to be explored. We call these actions <em>data moves</em>. In this paper, we argue that paying explicit attention to data moves, as well as their purposes and consequences, is necessary for educators to support student learning about data. This is especially needed in an era when students are expected to develop critical literacy around data and engage in purposeful, self-directed exploration of large and often complex datasets.</p><p>聽</p></div></div></div></div><div><h3 class="o-heading1a">Technology Innovations</h3><div class="c-pub"><h4 class="c-pub__heading"><a href="/uc/item/0h38g1n8"><div class="c-clientmarkup">A Modern Look at Freedman's Box Model</div></a></h4><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ASun%2C%20Dennis%20L">Sun, Dennis L</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AAlfredo%2C%20Joseph">Alfredo, Joseph</a> </li></ul></div><div class="c-pub__abstract"><div class="c-clientmarkup"><p>This paper revisits the <em>box model</em>, a metaphor聽developed by David Freedman to explain sampling distributions and聽 statistical inference to introductory statistics students.聽The basic idea is to represent all random phenomena in terms of drawing聽tickets at random from a box. In this way, random sampling from a population聽can be described in the same way as everyday phenomena, like coin tossing and card dealing.聽For Freedman,聽box models were merely a thought experiment; calculations were still done using聽normal approximations. In this paper, we propose a more modern view that treats聽the box model as a practical simulation framework for conducting inference.聽We show how concepts in introductory statistics and probability classes can聽be motivated by simulating from a box model. To facilitate this simulation-based聽approach to teaching box models, we developed an online, open-source "box model聽simulator".</p></div></div></div></div></div></section></main><aside><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>Journal Information</h2></header><div class="c-journalinfo"><ul><li><b>e-ISSN:</b> 1933-4214</li></ul></div></section><div><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>Recent Articles</h2></header><ul class="c-relateditems"><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/2z57b52x"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Supporting Statistics and Data Science Education with learnr</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AStoudt%2C%20Sara">Stoudt, Sara</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AScotina%2C%20Anthony%20D.">Scotina, Anthony D.</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ALuebke%2C%20Karsten">Luebke, Karsten</a> </li></ul></div></li><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/4k95g5j0"><div class="c-clientmarkup">NormalityAssessment: An Interactive Classroom Tool for Testing Normality Visually</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ACasement%2C%20Christopher%20J.">Casement, Christopher J.</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMcSweeney%2C%20Laura%20A.">McSweeney, Laura A.</a> </li></ul></div></li><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/7kk4d922"><div class="c-clientmarkup">An educator鈥檚 perspective of the tidyverse</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ACetinkaya-Rundel%2C%20Mine">Cetinkaya-Rundel, Mine</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AHardin%2C%20Johanna">Hardin, Johanna</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3ABaumer%2C%20Ben">Baumer, Ben</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMcNamara%2C%20Amelia">McNamara, Amelia</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AHorton%2C%20Nicholas">Horton, Nicholas</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ARundel%2C%20Colin">Rundel, Colin</a> </li></ul></div></li><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/8ck097s5"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Automated grading workflows for providing personalized feedback to open-ended data science assignments</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ARicci%2C%20Federica%20Zoe">Ricci, Federica Zoe</a>; </li><li><a href="/search/?q=author%3AMedina%2C%20Catalina%20Mari">Medina, Catalina Mari</a>; </li><li class="c-authorlist__end"><a href="/search/?q=author%3ADogucu%2C%20Mine">Dogucu, Mine</a> </li></ul></div></li><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/9jr7k5hp"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Access Statistics Canada鈥檚 Open Economic Data for Statistics and Data Science Courses</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AWarin%2C%20Thierry">Warin, Thierry</a> </li></ul></div></li></ul></section></div></aside></div></div></div><div><div class="c-toplink"><a href="javascript:window.scrollTo(0, 0)">Top</a></div><footer class="c-footer"><nav class="c-footer__nav"><ul><li><a href="/">Home</a></li><li><a href="/aboutEschol">About eScholarship</a></li><li><a href="/campuses">Campus Sites</a></li><li><a href="/ucoapolicies">UC Open Access Policy</a></li><li><a href="/publishing">eScholarship Publishing</a></li><li><a href="https://www.cdlib.org/about/accessibility.html">Accessibility</a></li><li><a href="/privacypolicy">Privacy Statement</a></li><li><a href="/policies">Site Policies</a></li><li><a href="/terms">Terms of Use</a></li><li><a href="/login"><strong>Admin Login</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://help.escholarship.org"><strong>Help</strong></a></li></ul></nav><div class="c-footer__logo"><a href="/"><img class="c-lazyimage" data-src="/images/logo_footer-eschol.svg" alt="eScholarship, University of California"/></a></div><div class="c-footer__copyright">Powered by the<br/><a href="http://www.cdlib.org">California Digital Library</a><br/>Copyright 漏 2017<br/>The Regents of the University of California</div></footer></div></div></div></div> <script src="/js/vendors~app-bundle-7424603c338d723fd773.js"></script> <script src="/js/app-bundle-63f992b6abba5f8338a3.js"></script> </body> </html>
