Unethical Usage Of Statistical Tools In Science Education Researches: The Way Out
Keywords:
Unethical usage, statistical tools, science education researchesAbstract
This paper critically examined the technicalities involved in
choosing and using the appropriate statistical techniques
accurately in integrated Science research. The choice of
statistics to use in any integrated science research is dictated
by the design and type of data to be collected. Hence any
research endeavour has to incorporate the statistical method
to be used right from the on set. Efforts are then made to
identify the conditions for the selection of statistics, as well
as the scale to be employed in making such selections. These
were then used to design the strategy for the choice of
appropriate statistics techniques to use in integrated science
research.
