R Statistical Programming in Higher Education: A Scoping Review

Abstract

This scoping review explores the ways that R has been used in applied research college courses in social sciences and reports on the relevant studies. The included studies, meeting the eligibility criteria, comprise both quantitative and qualitative work in higher education, non-computer science (or related) disciplines, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Through a comprehensive and rigorous literature search and screening process, 21 articles are included in the review, covering outcomes on academic performance, course recommendations, and student perceptions of using R.
