【 摘 要 】

Many readers of this journal are involved in teaching or designing educational programmes or studies. Often, either by yourself or in conjunction with others, you need to design studies asking questions such as what is the best approach for teaching this material for a particular type of learner? What context makes a difference in learner performance? What strategies motivate learners better than others? In planning these studies, there are many design considerations necessary to ensure that the results are meaningful. During the planning of the studies, and subsequently, numerous questions arise concerning the use of statistics. We recognize that medical educational researchers are often not particularly comfortable with statistics and thus could easily slip into making poor decisions about what to do with quantitative data in the study.
