Abstract

CARNEVALI, Graciela; FERRERI, Noemí  and  POZZO, María Isabel. Objectives for the development of statistical thinking in students of the first course of statistics of the industrial engineering career. SaberEs [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.159-172. ISSN 1852-4418.

Engineers from different specialties, and especially industrialists, work in the design, development, control and improvement of a wide variety of products, systems and processes, many of which are interconnected. In all of them, variability and uncertainty are present. Statistical thinking provides the empirical knowledge that completes engineering knowledge and hence the importance of beginning to develop it during undergraduate training. This work focuses on a first course of Statistics oriented in that line and proposes objectives to be reached based on the integral definition of statistical thinking proposed by Wild and Pfannkuch in 1999. The achievement of these objectives is based on the resolution of problems and on the understanding of statistical concepts and tools, both important pillars in the development of Statistical thinking.

Keywords : Industrial engineering; Statistical thinking; Statistics course.
