Guidelines for quality improvement in the teaching of statistics in telecommunication engineering

Abstract

In recent years there has been a spectacular increase in social concern for problems related to the quality of services, and in particular, university education. Teaching quality can be understood as an objective to be achieved in three feedback stages: the preparation of the subject program, the adoption of a methodological approach and the evaluation of the results. Although it is a common objective for all university education, the ways to achieve it depend on the degree, the type of skills, aptitudes and knowledge to be taught and the technological means available. This article reviews and proposes a series of guidelines to improve teaching quality in the teaching of introductory courses in Statistics corresponding to the first cycle of technical schools of engineers, with special emphasis on the degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
