I am looking for a textbook to use in a second-semester stats course in
a College of Education. This class could be called a survey course or a
breadth, not depth, course. Material covered in the class includes:
-- Review of knds of research; kinds of variables; hypothesis testing;
errors; one- and two-sample stats; and simple regression
-- one-way and two-way fixed-effects ANOVA
-- Multiple comparison procedures (usually I provide supplemental
material instead of relying on the text)
-- Intro to power
-- simple repeated measures design
-- split-plot design
-- Intro to multiple regression
I am looking for a book that is conceptual so that my generally
math-phobic grad students in Education don't freak out with
"symbol-shock," yet I want careful coverage of assumptions and
robustness. Currently I'm using Stevens' "Intermediate Statistics,"
2/e, and I am dissatisfied with it.
As I am new to this list, I searched the edstat archives and looked at
messages dating back as much as four years, and I couldn't find any
previous notes that apply to my situation. Any textbook suggestions
would be much appreciated. Thanks, & cheers.
