The aim of the tutorial is to help educators address misconceptions about P values and provide a tool that can be used to teach a more contemporary interpretation.
A scripted tutorial using problem-based learning and a diagnostic test analogy to deconstruct the misunderstandings about P values and develop a more Bayesian approach to study interpretation.
A diagnostic test analogy is an effective teaching tool. Learners' understanding of Bayes' theorem in diagnostic testing can be used as a bridge to the realization that the prestudy probability of a true difference is crucial for study interpretation. The analogy has several caveats and shortcomings. The limitations of this analogy and the conceptual difficulties with the Bayesian study analyses are addressed.
P values do not provide the information many assume they do-they are not equivalent to a probability of a chance finding. This tutorial helps move learners from these incorrect notions to new insights.
本教程旨在帮助教育者纠正对 P 值的误解,并提供一种工具,以教授更具现代性的解释。
使用基于问题的学习和诊断测试类比的脚本教程,解构对 P 值的误解,并采用更贝叶斯的方法来解释研究。
诊断测试类比是一种有效的教学工具。学习者对诊断测试中贝叶斯定理的理解可以作为桥梁,使他们认识到研究解释中真实差异的先验概率至关重要。该类比存在一些注意事项和缺点。本文讨论了这种类比的局限性以及贝叶斯研究分析的概念性困难。
P 值并不提供许多人认为的信息——它们不等同于偶然发现的概率。本教程帮助学习者从这些错误的观念转变为新的见解。
