Most, if not all, programmes at the undergraduate level have recognized statistics as a necessary component required for data collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation in our data driven society.

This project will implement and evaluate Project Based Learning (PBL) method in two introductory statistics modules in the School of Science, ATU Sligo. PBL will use real-world projects pertinent to the students' course of study to improve their learning experiences and boost their motivation and interest in the study of statistics.

The implementation of PBL will lead to the development of a collection of targeted, practical, and long-term resources for projects that teach statistics, support innovation in current teaching techniques, and inform best practices in teaching and learning.
