Embracing Bayesian Statistics in the Modern Classroom

Oregon Convention Center 

A Bayesian statistical framework offers a versatile approach, allowing scientists to update their beliefs as new data emerges. Integrating Bayesian concepts into the STEM curriculum prior to graduate school will equip students with practical tools, applicable in diverse fields, encouraging adaptable statistical reasoning in the generations to come. To encourage science educators to infuse their courses with Bayesian reasoning, we provide access to an Open Educational Resource (OER) website that includes lesson plans, examples from various disciplines, and project-based learning activities.
