Nivel de alfabetización estadística del alumnado universitario de letras: El caso de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Abstract

This study discusses issues related to the teaching/learning of mathematics and more specifically to the teaching/learning of statistics. Interest in modernizing this area over the past 70 years is evident through numerous legislative adjustments that have taken place to date. However, neither these changes nor the opening to the influence of international educational trends have achieved significant improvements in secondary and university education levels. The results of this study reveal a complex situation in which context, input, process seem to have quite a residual effect on the academic performance, especially in the college level; seemingly other variables could provide a better explanation of the academic performance in this context.
