TEACHING OF ANOVA THROUGH A RESEARCH PROJECT
Keywords:
ANOVA, teaching by projects, problem solving.Abstract
Statistics plays an important role in curricula, not only for university education, but also for middle and high school education. The changes that have occurred in recent years in the field of science and technology have generated a constant modernization of education; therefore, it becomes necessary for teachers to apply new didactic strategies that allow students to develop their learning processes. In this sense, the teaching of Statistics through research projects stands as one of the most appropriate pedagogical proposals for such purposes. Under this premise, the teachers in charge of the Statistics course of Licenciatura en Nutrición, Bioquímica and Licenciatura en Biotecnología from the Facultad de Bioquímica y Ciencias Biológicas de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina, proposed to address the content analysis of variance (ANOVA) under this methodology in order to analyze its impact. Teachers of Statistics courses worked with students from the Licenciatura en Nutrición, Licenciatura en Biotecnología y Bioquímica that attended Statistics course in 2018. After implementing the strategy, the students had to submit a report on the development and resolution of the proposed project. A statistically significant difference was observed between the group of students evaluated with this methodology in relation to those students evaluated in previous years where it was not applied. According to the observed results, we can be infer that the strategy would have a favorable action in the teaching-learning process of the topic, at least in those careers focused on health, biology or technique.
