I usually blog about funny examples for the teaching of statistics, but this example is for teachers teaching statistics. Normile, Bloesch, Davoli, & Scheer's recent publication, "Introducing the new statistics in the classroom" (2019) is very aptly and appropriately titled. It is a rundown on p-values and effect sizes and confidence intervals. Such reviews exist elsewhere, but this one is just so short and precise. Here are a few of the highlights:
1) The article concisely explains what isn't great or what is frequently misunderstood about NHST.
2) Actual guidelines for how to explain it in Psychological Statistics/Introduction to Statistics, including ideas for doing so without completely redesigning your class.
3) It also highlights one of the big reasons that I am so pro-JASP: Easy to locate and use effect sizes.
