Abstract

<p style="text-align:justify">This descriptive and correlational study investigated the effects of using PSPP in learning Statistics on students’ attitudes and performance. The respondents of the study were 200 Grade 11 Senior High School students who were enrolled in Probability and Statistics subject during the Second Semester of School Year 2018-2019. The respondents were randomly selected from those classes across the different academic strands that used PSPP in their Probability and Statistics subject through stratified random sampling. The results revealed that the students have favorable attitudes towards learning Statistics with the use of the PSPP software. The students became more interested and engaged in their learning of statistics which resulted to an improved academic performance.</p>

Summary

Introduction

The rapid development of technology has brought remarkable changes in the modern society and in all aspects of life such as in politics, trade and commerce, and education. Teaching and learning are becoming more engaging and innovative through technology-aided instruction (Mendezabal & Tindowen, 2017). Integration of technology is really perceived by educators as a very important tool for effective delivery of teaching for all levels of education. The use of technology as an aid in teaching plays a very important role in the present educational landscape. This is true to mathematics and statistics education. Previous studies had been conducted stressing the vital function of the use of technology in teaching statistics and mathematics courses (Mendezabal & Tindowen, 2017; Pierce, Stacey, & Barkatsas, 2005; Tabachnick, 2007; Chick & Pierce, 2008). Despite the fact that many colleges and universities today are privileged to fast internet connection, trained teachers to use educational technology, and a positive policy school-environment, the use of technology in the classroom is still low
