This document provides references for research related to using projects in statistics education. Some key findings from the research include:
- Projects have been shown to help develop students' statistical reasoning, conceptual understanding, and positive attitudes towards statistics.
- Implementing discovery projects and student-designed data collection projects in introductory statistics courses improved learning outcomes and attitudes.
- Research has evaluated the effectiveness of using projects to assess students' statistical competence and conceptual understanding after a course.
- Studies also explored how to best implement statistical investigation projects and develop teachers' abilities to teach with projects.
