Challenges in the planning of statistical projects from an interdisciplinary perspective: A didactic experience

We report the challenges four educators from different disciplines faced while planning a statistical project as a didactic strategy to promote interdisciplinarity. The study was framed in a nine-stage interdisciplinary system: inputs, group statism, relational game, decision game, dynamic game, dynamic-relational game, dynamic-relational-situational game, product, and new expectation. This system allowed us to identify the most challenging stages in the planning of statistical projects through an interdisciplinary approach. Though we recognize statistical projects can foster interdisciplinarity, this issue is difficult to address in real-time teaching practice. Our study shows the main difficulties lie in identifying real problems whose solution requires integrating distinct disciplines.References
