摘要：The purpose of this phenomenological study was to talk to students about their
experiences taking introductory statistics. The author met with eleven students
individually for four interviews throughout the semester, followed by a memberchecking
focus group during the last week of classes. One of the most salient themes
to emerge was the students¡¯ reliance on their instructor for feedback about
performance, directions on taking notes, and the creation of a classroom environment
that motivated them to study. As part of the phenomenological tradition, the author
presents his own reflections based on these students¡¯ comments. Conclusions include
the encouragement of instructors to be more mindful of students¡¯ reactions to course
content, and suggestions for developing a more learner-centered learning
environment.
