Abstract:

Teaching in a developing country is generally challenging due to the inadequate infrastructures in the development of teaching materials and the facilities in the delivery of such. The teacher has to be creative enough in developing cost-effective teaching materials, efficiently allocating the limited resources. Statistical consulting is generally taught using audio-visual infrastructure support. In the Philippines, it has to be taught through case studies, coaching and guided practice to complement the absence or inadequate audio-visual facilities. The methods are fairly adequate in imparting to the students the techniques and necessary skills in the practice of statistical consulting.
