statistics competencies, mathematics competencies, statistics education, competencies approachAbstract
The main objective of this essay is to analyze how the competencies approach can contribute to fulfilling the goals of statistics education. A revision about the concept of competencies, their types and approach is performed. Additionally, the relationship between competencies and Statistics education, along with the way to incorporate literacy, reasoning, and statistical thinking as competencies to be developed in class is analyzed. Besides, definitions are given about mathematics and statistics competencies emphasizing that although they complement each other, are different. Finally, recommendations and suggestions of the Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) report are given for teaching statistics and how they could be applied in the classrooms under a competencies approach.
