But it is felt that though there are a number of text books available on this subject, there is a great dearth of suitable advanced level text books, which can satisfy the needs of the students pursuing higher courses in Education and Statistics. This book, Basis Statistics in Education, is expected to fill the gap. It provides up-to-date and basic information to the students of B.A. (Education & Statistics), M.A. (Education & Statistics), B.ED., M.ED. and M.PHIL. of different Indian Universities. This book comprises a general view of current knowledge in Education and Statistics and its application to teaching learning process. The need for a book that focuses on using and understanding statistics in a research or applications context, not as a discrete set of mathematical techniques but as part of the process of reasoning with numbers. The need for a book that isn?t focused on a particular subject area. Elementary statistics is easily discussed in this book. In fact, the text book has a vast coverage of topics and it includes the latest development in the various fields of Education and Statistics. Besides, this book has profusely illustrated with diagrams, charts and tables. At the end of each chapter assignments have been inserted for the benefit of students.
