Poster: Solicitation for Participation

We are looking for participants who wish to learn data analysis. Each participant has to:

(a) be a male undergraduate or graduate student in McGill or Concordia;

(b) speak English fluently enough to pursue further studies;

(c) have taken an elementary statistics course (e.g. you've know concepts such as standard deviation and T-test) and be interested in updating your knowledge about data analysis;

(d) be a Chinese student or an Anglophone Canadian student. A Chinese student here refers to a participant who was born in Mainland China, mainly speaks Chinese at home, and has less than five years of learning experience outside China. An Anglo-Canadian student refers to a participant who was born in Canada or the U.S. , whose father or mother was born in Canada or the U.S., and who mainly speak English at home.

Only male participants will be selected in this study because gender differences are not the focus at this stage of the research and need to be controlled. The experiment takes about 2 hours in general and compensation is $10 per hour. Your learning processes will be recorded and analyzed in detail so that feedback will be available in helping you meet the challenges of learning in the future. You will also be authorized to use our software to learn statistics at home. Hours are flexible. You can click the SCHEDULE URL at the top left corner of the website to book your convenient time. You can also contact me through email yongchao.shi@mail.mcgill.ca for participation if you have special needs. This study is supervised by Prof. C. Frederiksen and K. Muis of McGill Educational and Counseling Psychology.
