The teaching-learning of statistics for computer engineers focusedon the project method

Abstract

The professional training of computer engineers at the University of Pinar del Río has historically been determined by learning statistical content, which are key to understand their culture and professional identity. In the present study, a didactic conception was proposed for the teaching-learning process of Statistics energized by the project method. Theoretical methods (modelling, systemic-structural, analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction) and empirical methods (scale of attitudes towards statistics, teacher survey and document review) were used. The research was descriptive-cross-sectional. Working with scientific-professional projects favored the appropriation of statistical content. The experts assessed the proposed concept as positive and confirmed its validity, functionality, applicability and durability over time.
