Spiral Progression Approach for Improving Students' Retention in Statistics and Probability

This study looked into numerous academic domains, including engineering, physics, and the social sciences, place a high value on statistics and probability research. The high dropout and low retention rates that result from these disciplines are due to how challenging they are for students to learn. A number of teaching strategies, most notably the Spiral Progression Approach (SPA), have been developed to solve this problem. The Spiral Progression Approach, a teaching strategy that builds on existing knowledge and abilities and reinforces concepts via repetition, presents and revisits ideas in a cyclical fashion. Because it promotes deeper learning and allows for ongoing engagement with the material, this approach is expected to increase student retention. The Spiral Progression Approach's effectiveness in boosting student retention in Statistics and Probability has not received much research despite its potential advantages
