Abstract

In this paper we present a study on the statistical knowledge needs of students in grades Social Sciences, in particular the degree of Public Administration and Management and Labor Relations and Human Resources. The goal we set ourselves in this work is to determine the implications of statistical training a student receives at the stage of secondary education and analyse the competence level that reaches these qualifications by submitting a proposal to improve the transition. How it is involved in the knowledge of Statistics. For this, the secondary curriculum in key skills and university programs is analysed, also the profiles of these degrees give some statistics skills that must be acquired by the student throughout the process. Why these students lost their knowledge in Statistics and why the students have not seen the need for it? With this work, we can conclude that the elements that affect knowledge devoid of statistics when the student goes to college are intrinsic to the real situation of the teaching system in mathematics, and this is knowledge must be improved through Curriculum and all the elements that surround it. The errors related to some mathematical and statistical elements that have incidence in the development of specific ideas of the issue have been identified, as it is that the student is submitted to him to begin continuously with the knowledge of statistics, regardless of whether it has assumed the necessary prior knowledge.
