EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS

1. The concept of statistics does not exist in the oblivion as it has its
origin traceable to the existence of man and education. Every discipline
has some unique and special importance in any field of learning. The
Importance of Statistics in Education is referred to as ‘the essence and
significance of statistics to every field of learning’ concerning
mathematics, education, business, science, computer, history, etc.,
most especially the importance and role of statistics in educational
research.
Probably, no subject other than statistics demonstrates the existence of
several kinds of intelligence in different fields. Hence, statistics, if
clearly understood, is a fascinating subject that has tremendous
importance in computer, philosophy, mathematics, medical sciences,
psychology, and education in general.
Statistics is used every now and then even outside the field of core
Education such as Diagnosis and Programming. Statistics works hand-in-
hand with Mathematics. Hence, running away from Statistics is like
running away from mathematics, you will be tired at a moment.
Though Statistical approaches sometimes appear to be insignificant to
be noticed, but it does not deny the degree of its value and significance
in everyday life.
A study conducted by researchers wherein the results showed that
student-learning is measured more than ever before, and that means
that the educational field needs professionals who have expertise in
educational statistics and measurement.

Another research conducted which showed that Statistics in education


helps in the collection and presentation of data in a well-arranged
manner. Simply put, Statistics in educations helps in the orderly
arrangement of both processed and unprocessed data.
