Abstract
Statistic is a discipline present in numerous university curricula of very diverse degrees in Natural Sciences, Biosanitary, Engineering or Social Sciences. Given its role in the general training of students and also the strong evolution of the discipline in recent years, the teaching of Statistics in the university today poses specific challenges. In this context, this paper adopts the perspective of the American statistical community to offer a possible framework for innovation in the teaching of Statistics at the introductory level and for students with another field of specialization (e.g. Social Sciences). First, there is a documentary review centered on the guidelines offered by the American Statistical Association from the end of the last century to the present day. This is to offer an updated view of the parameters that, from this point of view, should define the teaching of statistics today. Second, an inventory of useful resources is presented for the development of teaching proposals aligned with such orientations and, in general, for the updating and innovation of the teaching-learning processes. Although the focus of this work is placed in the courses of introduction to statistics generically considered, some examples of useful resources refer more specifically to the field of Social Sciences, Behavioral Sciences and Education. The work closes with some notes on new paths for curricular innovation in the future.
