III-  My Reflections:

          Module I - Introduction to 
                              Educational Statistics         
               I was so amazed by the expertise of our professor  thinking that she is just one year older than me. She shared to us the importance of statistics in our day-to-day living. It is really true that everyday in our lives statistics is always present.
          
          Module II- Variables: Matter of 
                             Statistics and Research 
              In my 17 years of teaching, I already handled pupils whose capacity ranged in varied ways. There were times, tough times especially, questions sometimes exist and also vary. Questions like- Would they learn from me? Would they live what they learn? Would they become successful and bankable individuals someday?... Well, variables really vary. As the definition says,a variable is a characteristic or condition that changes or has different values for different individuals.



          Module III- Integration of 
                             Innovation In statistics
                E-Portfolio is new to me. But I know this innovative strategy of Prof. Ava could unfold my ignorance to blogging and at the same time enhance my writing ability, so I tried to  grapple it and enjoyed it.  Though many times my daughter Josah and my friend Blessie kept on telling me on what to do and on how to do it, my blogging is still on the go.

          Module IV- The Measures 
                              of Central Tendency
               In everyday language, the goal of Central Tendency is to find the "average" or "typical" individual. The average value can be used to provide a simple description of the entire population.(Frederick Gravetter)         
               Just like computing the number of shampoo sachets used by an individual everyday. How many sachets will she/he consume for a month. This also conveys a simple description of the number of shampoo sachets used by an entire community for a month.What more for a country and for the whole globe?
               Though this problem had been posted since time immemorial, as advocates to preserve mother earth, now is the best time to recycle.







          Module V- Measures of Variation
               One of our classmates Sir Reden, reported this topic enjoyably. He sang a religious T'boli song for us before the start of  the lecture. Because it was raining, he used the rain as an example of his topic which is range- the range of the rain. We were all laughing not only because the words rhyme, but because he was also enjoying  his report. The laughter was justified when he said, "Range is the measure of the upper limit and the lower limit so we could use rain as an example."
