Nakon saznanja da osnovne greške u analizi podataka doprinose
neponovljivosti rezultata istraživanja mnogih publikovanih studija, u
naučnoj zajednici prepoznata je potreba za boljim razumevanjem
statističkih analitičkih metoda. Cilj ove studije je da se ispitaju stavovi
studenata prema statistici u različitim edukativnim okruženjima, prate
njihove promene i uticaj na postignuća iz biostatistike. Takođe,
sproveden je sistematski pregled literature u cilju pronalaženja naučnih
dokaza radi pružanja podrške pedagoškim odlukama koje se odnose na
podučavanje studenata medicine iz oblasti primenjene statistike.
Metod
Upitnik za procenu stavova studenata prema statistici (eng. Survey of
Attitudes Towards Statistics – SATS – 36) je korišćen za anketiranje
studenata medicine na tri fakulteta Zapadnog Balkana, koji su pohađali
obavezni predmet iz biostatistike. Prethodno je urađena validacija i
kulturološka adaptacija upitnika na srpski jezik. Sistematski pregled
literature sproveden je pretraživanjem publikacija objavljenih od 1994.
godine u sledećim bazama podataka: Scopus, Web of Science, Science
Direct, Medline i APA. Urađena je i meta-analiza koeficijenata korelacije
skorova SATS komponenti i postignutih rezultata iz statistike. Zbirne
procene su izračunate korišćenjem modela slučajnih efekata...The scientific community increasingly is recognizing the need to bolster
standards of data analysis given the widespread concern that basic
mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of
many published research findings. The aim of this study was to
investigate students’ attitudes towards statistics within a multi-site
medical educational context, monitor their changes and impact on
student achievement. In addition, we performed a systematic review to
better support our future pedagogical decisions in teaching applied
statistics to medical students.
Methods
A validated Serbian Survey of Attitudes Towards Statistics (SATS-36)
questionnaire was administered to medical students attending
obligatory introductory courses in biostatistics from three medical
faculties. A systematic review of peer-reviewed publications was
performed through searches of Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct,
Medline, and APA databases through 1994. A meta-analysis was
performed for the correlation coefficients between SATS component
scores and statistics achievement. Pooled estimates were calculated
using random effects models..
