Using Statistical Software at Czech Universities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Statistics is considered an unpopular and demanding course. It is partly caused by an obsolete concept of teaching disregarding modern methods. Consequently, students lack the necessary knowledge e.g. of available statistical software. The objective of this paper is to motivate faculties to change the approach to teaching statistics and to modify materials and methods used in their courses according to the specific needs of their students. The questionnaire survey involved by 763 respondents was applied. Results show that respondents often involve another person in processing their statistical data. Those who process the data themselves mostly tend to use MS Excel. Cluster analysis formed four groups of respondents according to their attitude to statistics. Three of them show the potential to change their negative or neutral attitude towards statistics by suitable methods and tools, such as using the software. The results may improve statistic courses and teachers&apos; approach towards students.
