Abstract

The purpose of this study is to integrate student-problem chart (S-P chart) and ordering theory (OT) on statistical concepts for university students. S-P chart is adopted to classify all students into proper six learning styles. OT is to determine item hierarchies of statistical cocnepts. The empirical data is statistical concepts testing for university students. The results show that integration of S-P chart and OT is feasible for cognition diagnosis and would be helpful for remedial instruction. Finally, some suggestions and recommendations for future research are provided.
