Abstract

In the first years of their economics degree programs, students will face many problems successfully dealing with a range of subjects with quantitative content. Specifically, in the field of statistics, difficulties to reach some basic academic achievements have been observed. Hence, a continuing challenge for statistics teachers is how to make this subject more appealing for students through the design and implementation of new teaching methodologies. The latter tend to follow two main approaches. On the one hand, it is useful for the learning process to propose practical activities that can connect theoretical concepts with real applications in the economic context. On the other hand, we should design multidisciplinary activities that link concepts from different subjects. With this goal in mind, in this article we propose a complete activity for first year students in business administration and economics degree programs, aimed to reinforce some basic statistical and economic concepts, while other basic transversal skills are also practiced, all within the subject of statistics.

摘要

在经济学学位课程的头几年，学生将成功地处理许多具有定量内容的科目，从而面临许多问题。具体而言，在统计学领域，已经发现难以获得一些基本的学术成就。因此，统计学教师面临的一个持续挑战是如何通过设计和实施新的教学方法，使该学科对学生更具吸引力。后者倾向于遵循两种主要方法。一方面，对于学习过程提出可以将理论概念与经济环境中的实际应用联系起来的实践活动很有用。另一方面，我们应该设计跨学科的活动，将来自不同学科的概念联系起来。有了这个目标，
