Abstract

In general, engineering students show little interest in the activities inherent in statistics subjects. This claim may be partly explained by the competition with other subjects in the first years of undergraduate courses, or by student perceived low attractiveness of the classes. In this context, several studies indicated that methodologies where the student is the protagonist of the learning process lead to greater engagement during the activities and better scores in the assessments. This work describes the use of active learning methodologies in an introductory probability and statistics course for Engineering classes at a Brazilian public institution. Two classes were monitored during one term: in the first one (control class) traditional lectures were used, in the second one (experimental class) three different active methodologies were applied, namely: Jigsaw, Peer Instruction and Think-Pair-Share. On the one hand, the results indicated slightly better performances in the experimental class, as well as an increase in attendance. On the other hand, dropout rates were similar in both classes. This study is part of a renewal proposal of the mathematics subjects, based on the use of active learning methodologies and the review of curricular content to meet current pedagogical demands.

在统计学入门课程中使用主动学习方法
一般来说,工科学生对统计学科固有的活动兴趣不大。这种说法的部分原因可能是本科第一年与其他学科的竞争,或者是学生认为这些课程的吸引力不高。在这种情况下,一些研究表明,让学生成为学习过程的主角的方法会使学生在活动中更投入,在评估中获得更好的分数。这项工作描述了主动学习方法在巴西公共机构工程类概率论和统计学课程中的使用。一学期监测两个班:第一个班(控制班)采用传统讲课方式,第二个班(实验班)采用三种不同的积极方法,即拼图、同伴指导和思考-配对-分享。一方面,结果表明实验班的表现略有改善,出勤率也有所提高。另一方面,两个班级的辍学率相似。本研究是数学学科更新建议的一部分,基于积极学习方法的使用和课程内容的审查,以满足当前的教学需求。摘要:葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府,葡萄牙政府Tal constata -。在此背景下,不同的研究人员采用了不同的方法,以确定参与者的主要参与过程,并将其作为参与者的主要参与过程,并将其作为参与者的主要参与过程。Este trabalho de mettoologgias de aprendizagem ativa em curso introdutório de Probabilidade de genharia para turmas de genharia, numa institut o pública brasileira。Duas turmas foram monitoradas ao longo de um semstre: na primeira, fez-se uso de aulas expositivas dialogadas (turma control) e, na seunda, aulas com três metologgias ativas差异,a saber: Jigsaw, Peer Instruction和think -成对-共享(turma实验)。结果:①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①①。可怜的拉多,一种叫做曼特拉多的动物,似乎把它们看作是肿瘤。Este estudo - 研究建议- 革新机构- 学科- 机构- 机构- 基础-研究方法- 革新机构- 修订- 课程- 需求- às atuais。

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.
