Should we still teach significance testing?
ERIM report series research in management Erasmus Research Institute of Management
In the longer term null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) will disappear because p- values are not informative and not replicable. Should we continue to teach in the future the procedures of then abolished routines (i.e., NHST)? Three arguments are discussed for not teaching NHST in introductory courses in inferential statistics: NHST is too difficult for introductory courses; dichotomous thinking is a cognitive obstacle for interpretation; students can find relevant information in research reports without knowing NHST.
