The conventional teaching of statistics has been subject to constant criticism over time. According to researchers, these methods provide students with few tools applicable to their future professional careers. This monotonous and loosely connected teaching to genetics contributes to increased negative attitudes towards this discipline and a higher failure rate. Furthermore, concepts are generally taught from a purely formal approach, lacking real-world examples that students can relate to in their future work in the field of genetics. At the National University of Misiones (UNaM), "Biostatistics and Experimental Design" is crucial for Genetics Bachelor's students. Despite covering descriptive, inferential, and multivariate statistics, the dropout rate has become a significant issue. Almost half of enrolled students fail to regularize the subject, and many do not pass it in the first examination sessions. To address this challenge, collaboration between the University and the Human Genetics Institute (IGeHM) was sought. IGeHM promotes genetic education and focuses on topics directly related to the profile of a geneticist, including research on genetic diseases such as cancer. Cancer risk analysis involves estimating the probabilities of carrying a genetic variant and evaluating risks based on individual and family factors. IGeHM collects data from cancer patients, generating a variety of relevant variables. The aim of this work was to increase the rate of regular students in Biostatistics and Experimental Design and stimulate greater interest by using real data provided by IGeHM related to cancer. The methodology used was a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, with a descriptive and exploratory scope. Data were obtained from student surveys and analysis of approval rates. According to our surveys, most students had little or no knowledge of statistics before taking the course (76%), and only a minority had experience with health and geneti
La enseñanza tradicional de la estadística ha sido objeto de críticas constantes a lo largo del tiempo, según investigadores estos métodos proporcionan a los estudiantes pocas herramientas necesarias para ser aplicadas en su futura carrera profesional. Esta enseñanza monótona y con poca vinculación a la genética contribuye a incrementar actitudes negativas hacia esta disciplina y aumentar la tasa de desaprobados. Por otra parte, en general se enseñan los conceptos desde un enfoque puramente formal, careciendo de ejemplos del mundo real que los estudiantes puedan relacionar con su futuro trabajo en el campo de la genética. En la Universidad Nacional de Misiones, “Bioestadística y Diseño Experimental” es fundamental para los estudiantes de Licenciatura en Genética. Esta materia abarca desde la estadística descriptiva, inferencial y estadística multivariada. Sin embargo, la tasa de abandono se ha convertido en problemas significativos para la carrera; casi la mitad de los alumnos inscritos no logra regularizar la asignatura, y muchos de ellos no la aprueban en las primeras mesas de examen. Para abordar esta problemática, se buscó colaboración entre la Universidad y el Instituto de Genética Humana (IGeHM). El IGeHM fomenta la educación en genética y aborda temas directamente relacionados con el perfil de un genetista. Esto incluye la investigación sobre enfermedades genéticas como el cáncer. El análisis del riesgo del cáncer implica estimar las probabilidades de ser portador de una variante genética y evaluar los riesgos basados en factores individuales y familiares. El IGeHM recopila datos de pacientes con cáncer generando una variedad de variables relevantes. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo principal incrementar la tasa de alumnos regulares en Bioestadística y Diseño Experimental y despertar un mayor interés mediante la utilización de datos reales proporcionados por el IGeHM en relación al cáncer. La metodología utilizada fue un enfoque mixto combinando métodos cu
