Atitudes em relação à aprendizagem estatística: o caso dos estudantes de pós-graduação em linguística aplicada
Palavras-chave:
Estatística de Ensino-Aprendizagem, Atitude, Estudantes de Lingüística AplicadaResumo
Pesquisadores, estudantes e profissionais da área de estudos da língua inglesa freqüentemente evitam estatísticas que podem ser devidas ao medo de sua natureza numérica e alta tecnicalidade. Este artigo apresenta as conclusões de um estudo que investigou um pequeno grupo de atitudes de estudantes de pós- graduação em relação às estatísticas de aprendizagem. Os respondentes foram 20 estudantes de pós- graduação da faculdade de língua de uma universidade pública na Malásia. A Pesquisa de Atitudes em Relação à Estatística de Schau et al. (1995) foi usada para elucidar os dados. Os resultados quantitativos indicaram que a maioria dos estudantes tinha atitudes moderadamente positivas em relação às estatísticas de aprendizagem. Essas descobertas também indicaram como um workshop de dois dias poderia melhorar significativamente a atitude desses estudantes de pós-graduação em relação às estatísticas de aprendizagem. Os resultados qualitativos revelaram que os estudantes consideravam as oficinas de estatística como altamente necessárias e poderiam tornar seus resultados mais apresentáveis e creditados. Os resultados destacam a necessidade de mais e melhores cursos de estatística e oficinas para alunos de áreas afins.
