INFERENTIAL STATISTICS IN DECISION MAKING 2
Inferential Statistics in Decision Making
The UC provides students with a key educational program that helps them become
servant strong leaders and disciplines. For too many school administrators, conceptually and by
"shooting from the hip," they have made the decisions about educational leaders. I have
repeatedly challenged the tremendous amount of time we spent gathering numbers over my
many years as a principal and school superintendent. From 30 to 40 minutes each morning were
spent collecting and reporting attendance. The yearly state-mandated test method began in early
October and for the whole year appeared to occur in one form or another. We compiled and
stored our test scores in the classroom, then never used them again. Those skills or experiences
help me make effective organizational decisions. I gain educational responsibility and credibility,
and self-discipline in best practice via the programs.
School districts obtain and retain multiple types of data for students everywhere. For
future investment, average regular attendance figures, states need test scores and transcript
results. Many schools collect these data to meet institutional criteria rather than measure and
analyze the progress of the school or students. Standardized test results are usually only quickly
checked before the native paper calls. Regular attendance of state educational agencies is
registered, then stored away. To determine the standard of teaching and training at their school,
educators rarely analyze such data comprehensively. Of course, presumes that supervisors,
central office managers, and directors have an understanding of the data assessment and how this
study can be used to teach and learning process[ CITATION Zha181 \l 1033 ].
Just several things are more dreaded than statistical analytical thinking. Statistics, for
most teachers, means constant estimates and formula memorizing. For the most part, statistics
are seen as a structured field of higher mathematics, characterized by a curriculum or two taught

by graduate school lecturers seeking to make a student's living as difficult as possible. In general,
courses in statistical techniques are taught with detailed reviews of statistical equations, and the
main focus is on deriving statistical formulae.
The administrator's fear of statistics possibly stems from several factors, but traditional
and teacher training systems have to acknowledge the fact that there are possibly four essential
components missing from the demonstration of statistics in education. Next, statistical training
doesn't stress the importance of data to the everyday lives of students and principals. Also, new
technology isn't fully incorporated into statistics teaching and learning. Thirdly, for
undergraduate students in teacher education or leadership programmes, few (if any) statistics
classes are planned.
Ultimately, as a method for conducting research projects and theses, many statistical
courses taught in educational colleges spend considerable time on inferential statistics. Far less
money will be wasted on statistical techniques that can help the headmaster or superintendent
focus on improving their analytical process, evaluation of programs and students, decision
making based on data, and reporting skills in preparation. Simple statistics do not have to include
data analysis. Throughout classrooms, data analyzes include data collection and the use of
accessible data to enhance teaching and learning. Strangely enough, it is relatively
straightforward for the administrators.
