Abstract

Statistical education is a very important area of research because it builds knowledge and promotes innovation in the courses of this discipline. Based on the advances in this area, changes in the content and approaches of the courses at all educational levels have been promoted in several countries. In this study, we examine programs of introductory statistics courses at the higher education level, seeking to characterize the state of statistical education for non-statisticians in Mexico. The extent to which the Statistical Learning Goals (MAEs) were addressed was explored. Included in the study were 410 statistics course programs from various Mexican institutions. A checklist was constructed to assess the extent to which MAEs were considered in the programs; that is, indicators of the degree of consideration of each of the goals were constructed. Exploratory and descriptive analyses were carried out to identify the extent the goals were met, followed by multiple correspondence analysis to identify associations with the program identification variables. The results showed that the MAEs were applied very little in Mexico, especially those that refer to the development of statistical thinking and culture; the exceptions were the goals of organizing data, building tables and graphs, as well as calculating descriptive statistics. For all this, it was concluded that there is much work to be done on this issue in Mexico.

墨西哥统计服务课程诊断
统计教育是一个非常重要的研究领域,因为它在该学科的课程中建立知识并促进创新。根据这一领域的进展,一些国家促进了各级教育课程内容和方法的变化。在这项研究中,我们审查了高等教育水平的入门统计课程方案,试图描述墨西哥非统计人员统计教育的状况。探讨了统计学习目标的范围。这项研究包括来自墨西哥各机构的410个统计课程方案。建立了一份清单,以评估方案中考虑MAES的程度;也就是说,建立了每个目标考虑程度的指标。进行了探索性和描述性分析,以确定目标的实现程度,然后进行多次对应分析,以确定与方案识别变量的联系。结果表明,MAES在墨西哥的应用很少,特别是那些涉及统计思想和文化发展的MAES;例外情况是组织数据、建立表格和图表以及计算描述性统计数据的目标。为此,得出的结论是,墨西哥在这一问题上还有很多工作要做。摘要:西班牙统计教育是一个非常重要的研究领域,因为它可以在这一学科的课程中获得知识并促进创新。根据这一领域的进展,一些国家促进了各级教育课程内容和方法的变化。在这项研究中,我们审查了高级统计入门课程的方案,试图描述墨西哥非统计人员统计教育的状况。探讨了GAL和加菲尔德(1997年)提出的统计学习目标的考虑程度。从墨西哥各机构收集了410个统计课程方案。建立了一份核对清单,以评估MAE在该计划中的考虑程度;也就是说,建立了每个目标考虑程度的指标。进行了探索性和描述性分析,以确定每个目标得到了多大程度的满足,然后进行了多重对应分析,以确定与方案识别变量的联系。结果表明,MAE在墨西哥的应用很少,特别是与统计思想和文化发展有关的MAE;例外情况是组织数据、构建表格和图表以及计算描述性统计数据的目标。出于所有这些原因,得出的结论是,墨西哥在这一问题上还有很多工作要做。

期刊介绍: SERJ is a peer-reviewed electronic journal of the International Association for Statistical Education (IASE) and the International Statistical Institute (ISI). SERJ is published twice a year and is free. SERJ aims to advance research-based knowledge that can help to improve the teaching, learning, and understanding of statistics or probability at all educational levels and in both formal (classroom-based) and informal (out-of-classroom) contexts. Such research may examine, for example, cognitive, motivational, attitudinal, curricular, teaching-related, technology-related, organizational, or societal factors and processes that are related to the development and understanding of stochastic knowledge. In addition, research may focus on how people use or apply statistical and probabilistic information and ideas, broadly viewed. The Journal encourages the submission of quality papers related to the above goals, such as reports of original research (both quantitative and qualitative), integrative and critical reviews of research literature, analyses of research-based theoretical and methodological models, and other types of papers described in full in the Guidelines for Authors. All papers are reviewed internally by an Associate Editor or Editor, and are blind-reviewed by at least two external referees. Contributions in English are recommended. Contributions in French and Spanish will also be considered. A submitted paper must not have been published before or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
