Uso de metodologías activas para la alfabetización estadística: desarrollo de al herramienta LearnSTAT

Abstract

[ES] Este proyecto de innovación docente ha abordado la enseñanza de la estadística desde un enfoque integral, que combina diagnóstico, intervención y creación de recursos abiertos. A partir de instrumentos validados y encuestas aplicadas a estudiantes de distintas titulaciones, se identificaron diferencias entre áreas de conocimiento en la actitud hacia la estadística, el uso del software y el nivel de alfabetización percibido, lo que permitió identificar barreras y oportunidades específicas en la enseñanza de la estadística y sirvió como base para diseñar actividades más contextualizadas y eficaces. Sobre esta base, se implementaron metodologías activas —como el aprendizaje por proyectos, el aprendizaje basado en problemas, la gamificación o el trabajo colaborativo— adaptadas a distintos niveles educativos y áreas. Estas iniciativas incluyeron talleres interdisciplinares, materiales interactivos, experiencias colaborativas entre grados, juegos didácticos y materiales para etapas preuniversitarias, siempre con un enfoque aplicado, interdisciplinario y socialmente relevante. El alumnado del Grado en Estadística participó activamente en la creación de recursos como pódcast, integrados junto a otros recursos desarrollados en LearnSTAT, una plataforma digital abierta orientada al aprendizaje autónomo y a la difusión de buenas prácticas docentes. El proyecto ha contribuido a transformar la enseñanza de la estadística, conectándola con los retos sociales, la realidad profesional y el compromiso educativo.

By using validated instruments and surveys applied to students from different degree programmes, differences in attitudes towards statistics, software use and perceived literacy levels were identified in different areas of knowledge. This enabled specific barriers and opportunities in the teaching of statistics to be identified and formed the basis for designing more contextualised and effective activities. Active methodologies, such as project-based learning, problem-based learning, gamification and collaborative work, were then implemented and adapted for different educational levels and subject areas. These initiatives included interdisciplinary workshops, interactive materials, collaborative projects between degree programmes, educational games and materials for pre-university students, all of which took an applied, interdisciplinary and socially relevant approach. Students on the Bachelor's Degree in Statistics actively participated in creating resources such as podcasts, which were integrated with other resources developed on LearnSTAT — an open digital platform aimed at autonomous learning and disseminating good teaching practices. This project has transformed the teaching of statistics by connecting it with social challenges, professional reality and educational commitment.
