Estadísticas de Enseñanza- Aprendizaje, Actitud, estudiantes de lingüística aplicada

Resumen

Investigadores, estudiantes y profesionales en el área de estudios del idioma inglés a menudo evitan las estadísticas que pueden deberse a su temor a su naturaleza numérica y su alto nivel técnico. Este artículo presenta los hallazgos de un estudio que investigó las actitudes de un pequeño grupo de estudiantes de postgrado hacia las estadísticas de aprendizaje. Los encuestados fueron 20 estudiantes de postgrado de la facultad de idiomas de una universidad pública en Malasia. Se utilizó la Encuesta de actitudes hacia la estadística de Schau et al. (1995) para obtener los datos. Los hallazgos cuantitativos indicaron que la mayoría de los estudiantes tenían actitudes moderadamente positivas hacia las estadísticas de aprendizaje. Estos hallazgos también indicaron cómo un taller de dos días podría mejorar significativamente la actitud de estos estudiantes de posgrado hacia las estadísticas de aprendizaje. Los resultados cualitativos revelaron que los estudiantes consideraron los talleres de estadísticas como altamente necesarios y que podrían hacer que sus resultados sean más presentables y acreditados. Los resultados resaltan la necesidad de más y mejores cursos de estadística y talleres para estudiantes en áreas similares.
