Employing Microsoft Excel for Enhanced Mathematical and Statistical Online Pedagogy in Economics Amidst a Pandemic
Journal Title: Education Science and Management - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a profound impact was experienced in various domains, including education. The abrupt shift to remote learning presented challenges, especially in subjects necessitating practical problem-solving, commonly executed on traditional boards. It was observed that students at the College of Economics particularly grappled with Mathematics and Statistics during online sessions. This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of MS Excel in facilitating online, application-driven learning in Mathematics and Statistics. Initially, emphasis is placed on articulating basic mathematical expressions, ensuring full visibility of formulae for students. Subsequently, an illustrative approach is adopted to elucidate the resolution of intricate systems characterized by multiple equations and variables. This framework provides students with a foundation, aiding in the application of the acquired knowledge. Additionally, the versatility of MS Excel is highlighted by detailing its potential in deploying various statistical functions. For contextual relevance, data concerning human mobility during the pandemic, disseminated by Google for 135 nations globally, is employed. This research not only bridges the pedagogical gap but also offers a resilient teaching tool in uncertain times.
