I have a couple of colleagues doing research in Computer Science Education. I've talked one of them into using R (he is also interested in data mining) and am about half-way to persuading the other (who agrees that he ought to know more about analysing his data). Neither of them has a strong statistic background, but both are fairly able and willing to learn new tools and techniques. If anyone has a tutorial or set of course notes on how to use R to analyse the results of education studies, or knows where I might find such a thing, could you please tell me? I have downloaded and read all the English-language tutorials on the "Contributed Documentation" page; Baron & Li is probably closest to what I'm after but not quite there. This is *not* a request for general "Introduction to Statistics for Education Research" tutorials, although I wouldn't turn down any such references that people sent my way. I specifically want something to give my colleagues that explains how to use *R* to analyse their kinds of data.
I am in the process of learning R myself (when I have the time). I came
across these references that I think will be useful for your colleagues.
