Abstract
Teaching Control Charts for Attributes using the Mouse FactoryAbstractThe Mouse Factory contains a set of web-based, active learning modules for teaching statisticalquality control. This paper will present teaching control charts for attributes using the MouseFactory. The current pedagogy in today’s classrooms is based upon lectures and homeworkproblems from textbooks. This approach typically focuses on the knowledge and applicationdomains of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The current pedagogy removes students from applying higherorder cognitive skills. By using the Mouse Factory, students must select the most appropriateimprovement project to undertake, design a sampling plan, implement a control chart andevaluate the effectiveness of the implement control chart. Assessment of student behavior andattitudes will be discussed and evaluated.
