[tips] The Cult of Statistical Significance

2010-10-14 Thread Richard Hake 
Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsych might 
be interested in a recent post "The Cult of 
Statistical Significance" [Hake (2010)].  The 
abstract reads:

**
ABSTRACT: Math-Teach's Domenico Rosa has called 
attention to the review of Ziliak & McCloskey 
(2008) by Olle Häggström (2010). According to 
Häggström, Ziliak & McCloskey's major point is 
that "many researchers are so obsessed with 
statistical significance that they neglect to ask 
themselves whether the detected discrepancies are 
large enough to be of any subject-matter 
significance."

Consistent with that outlook, in "Lessons from 
the Physics Education Reform Effort" [Hake 
(2002)] I cited the position of many 
psychologists and biologists that the "effect 
size" is a preferred alternative (or at least 
addition) to the usually inappropriate t-tests 
and p values associated with Null Hypothesis 
Statistical Significance Testing (NHSST).

Nevertheless, many educational researchers (even 
some physicists) still utilize *only* NHSST to 
gauge the significance of their research results.

"After 4 decades of severe criticism, the ritual 
of null hypothesis significance testing - 
mechanical dichotomous decisions around a sacred 
0.05 criterion - still persists. This article 
reviews the problems with this practice, 
including its near-universal misinterpretation of 
p as the probability that Ho . . . .[[the null 
hypothesis]]. . . .  is false, the 
misinterpretation that its complement is the 
probability of successful replication, and the 
mistaken assumption that if one rejects Ho one 
thereby affirms the theory that led to the test. 
Exploratory data analysis and the use of graphic 
methods, a steady improvement in and a movement 
toward standardization in measurement, and 
emphasis on effect sizes using confidence 
intervals, ands the informed use of available 
statistical methods is suggested. FOR 
GENERALIZATION, PSYCHOLOGISTS MUST FINALLY RELY, 
AS HAS BEEN DONE IN THE OLDER SCIENCES, ON 
REPLICATION."  [My CAPS.]

Thanks Chris as examples provide the best insight into how that 
presentation style works.  I'm impressed and now plan to incorporate it 
as another option for presenting course concepts.  However, I would 
assume that this organizational style requires more prep time .  I 
happen to think that's a good quality BTW.

RE: [tips] Prezi

2010-10-14 Thread Paul C Bernhardt 
Like any technology, the tricks do become tired if used indiscriminately. 
Tricks should be content relevant. One thing about Prezi that I dislike is that 
it forces the 'pan and zoom' trick, it is just the fundamental method of moving 
from one content item to another. Therefore, if the content is not well-adapted 
to that kind of presentation, it will suffer rather than be enhanced. I think 
the recommendation that timeline material and that which can be arranged in a 
reasonable 2 dimensional are helpful for Prezi is correct. For much of the 
material we present, not so much.

RE: [tips] Prezi

2010-10-14 Thread Frantz, Sue 
I wrote a blog on Prezi earlier this year:
http://sfrantz.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/prezi-an-alternative-to-presenta
tion-slides/.  It will give you a quick overview of how Prezi works.

I concur that it's useful if the linearity of powerpoint leaves you
feeling handcuffed.  Although, if you use 'presenter view' in
powerpoint, linearity is less of an issue.  (To use presenter view, your
computer needs to see your projector as a second monitor.)  [Yeah, blog
on that, too:
http://sfrantz.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/powerpoint-2007-presenter-view/]
. 

A word of warning: The motion effects in Prezi can make some of your
audience members nauseous.

RE: [tips] Prezi

2010-10-14 Thread Shearon, Tim 
David
That's a good synopsis! I'm also working on some presentations for 
neuroanatomy, psychopharmaology, etc. I tried it in other classes and didn't 
like it. BTW- our library staff absolutely loves Prezi! I'm thinking that 
relates to the same non-linearity of the task (they are often presenting to 1st 
year classes on how to do library searches). So for those teaching Research 
Methods it is a good tool for design and searches.

Sorry Allen as I had made the incorrect assumption that you are a
psychologist.  How lucky are we that you participate on TIPS.  And you
did have a book in your hands as I noted on amazon a published critique
of Freud--_Seduction Mirage: A Exploration of the Work of Sigmund
Freud_, a book I certainly plan on purchasing.  But your post, in and

As I'm sure Chris will agree, though such rivalries sometimes play a 
role in the positions taken by the respective proponents, what matters 
in the end is the calibre of the work and the arguments. Whatever the 
rivalry between the Viennese and Paris "schools" of 
psychology/psychotherapy at the turn of the twentieth century, Janet's 
critiques of psychoanalysis were insightful ("The Journal of Abnormal 
Psychology", 1914-1915, pp. 1-35; 153-183), as was his later 
observation: "The psychoanalysts invariably set to work in order to 
discover a traumatic memory, with an a priori conviction that it is 
there to be discovered… Owing to the nature of their methods, they can 
invariably find what they seek."

>Interestingly, the one obvious conflict that was probably

In Freud's case, claims of opposition motivated by anti-Semitism have 
tended to be over-stated (the Nazi period excluded, of course). In his 
monumental volume *The Discovery of the Unconscious* Henri Ellenberger 
noted: "The [Freud] legend considerably exaggerates the extent and role 
of anti-Semitism, of the hostility of the academic world, and of 
alleged Victorian prejudices" (1970, p. 547). On misconceptions about 
alleged anti-Semitism in regard to the Minister of Education's failing 
to ratify Freud's nomination in 1897 for promotion from Assistant 
Professor to Associate Professor at the University of Vienna, see Frank 
Sulloway's *Freud: Biologist of the Mind* (1979, p. 463). (He was 
eventually promoted in 1902.)

"I now turn to psychoanalysis, the source of more, and of darker, smog

   I'm sure Koehler (trained as a physicist under Max Planck) had his 
legitimate doubts about psychoanalysis. One should keep in mind, also, 
the ongoing intellectual rivalry between Berlin and Vienna at work 
here. My wife once suggested to a friend of hers from Berlin, who was 
experiencing some personal difficulties, that she might seek out a 
therapist of counselor. The instant and definitive reply was "We are 
Prussian, not Austrian!" There is a religious aspect to the this 
rivalry as well (Prussian is Protestant, Austria Catholic). 
Interestingly, the one obvious conflict that was probably NOT at work 
in Koehler's remark was anti-semitism. The other major Gestalt 
theorists (Wertheimer, Koffka) were, of course. Jewish (though Koehler 
was not).
