Description: Research in student learning can be based on a theoretical framework, observations of students’ learning, the products of this learning, and students’ own conceptions of the subject and of learning. In the final analysis, such investigations have a clear purpose-to improve student learning. We report on using the results of research into student learning in statistics to improve the learning environment in a university class on regression analysis. We believe this is an effective method of becoming “researchers of practice” in statistics education.
