Abstract

This work has allowed the development of a case study module using the SPSS statistical software and the module has been used as support material for practical activities in the development of the Statistics Seminar course applied to educational research in the PhD students in the Sciences of the University.The case study module incorporates statistical data from the thesis found in the archive of the graduate school. The selected theses were of quantitative approach, of experimental research design in its classification of Pre-experimental, Quasi-experimental and Pure Experiments. The study was carried out with a population of 24 students, divided into two groups: control and experimental; To be able to form the groups, an entrance test was applied; the students who obtained the best scores formed the control group and the others the experimental group. The research instruments that were built measure conceptual, procedural and attitudinal learning. The instruments went through the validation and reliability study. With the Posttest scores, the corresponding hypothesis test was performed; the experimental group obtained better results than the control group; This is probably due to having used the case study module through the use of the SPSS software.
