Abstract
This study focused on the benefit of student-generated data in two undergraduate classes in introductory statistics. Whereas one section was taught using data provided by the instructor, students in the other class were asked to collect their own data. The dependent variables were the students' scores on the Attitudes Toward Statistics scale (Wise, 1985), a Likert scale that assesses a student's attitude toward the course as well as the perceived usefulness of statistics. Results indicate that students who generated data reported a decrease in their appreciation of the use of statistics; I found no significant differences in student attitudes toward the course.
