Resumen de Teaching statistics with projects at the university: a case study

Kristina Markulin, Marianna Bosch , Ignasi Florensa

• We present the implementation and analysis of a study and research path (SRP) in Statistics for business administration students. An SRP is an instructional proposal developed within the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic based on the inquiry of open questions. Our analysis focuses on the in-process evolution of the SRP, as well as the qualitative a posteriori analysis of its implementation. The results help describe interesting instructional devices for their design and management and identify some critical challenges that explain the difficulties of their dissemination in university education. We emphasize the need for educational research to focus on the conditions and constraints that enable and hinder the existence of project-based learning activities in current educational systems.
