Abstract
This work is largely concerned with teaching students how to plan and carry out statistical investigations. After outlining some of the problems encountered in conventional teaching, the contributions the computer can make are discussed. The resulting programs use simulation packages as well as pre‐stored teaching material. Experiments showed the need for decision rules which relate teaching mode and type of feedback to a student's competence. Finally, the experience of using these methods as an integral part of the statistics teaching of a psychology department is reviewed.Keywords
