Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to show how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be used to enhance the learning of statistics for psychology students.  Many psychology students often have difficulty in understanding statistics.  The ICTs can be of great assistance in learning statistics.  We can make use of mobile devices to make a lecture more interactive.  Smart phones can act as a second monitor to read text that explains a data analysis procedure, while a PC monitor is used to conduct the analysis.  Video-sharing services enable us to broadcast lectures.  Teachers can cooperate to develop a test item database, which can be very useful for finding appropriate items for exercise tasks or examinations.  Computer simulations using Excel are also useful for understanding statistics.
