MASDER: Developing a instruments to measure attitudes in statistics and data science
The Motivational Attitudes in Statistics and Data Science Education Research (MASDER) research group is developing a family of instruments to measure student and instructor attitudes and characteristics of learning environments for statistics and data science courses. This work is funded by the National Science Foundation (DUE-2013392).
