Resumo: | The objective of this research was to identify the students' behavior from Management and Accounting Courses in respect to the subject Statistics. The student's profile was obtained by the use of issues, the SATS scale (Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics), applied to 337 students from Management and Accounting Courses from 2 colleges. The research indicates 2 dimensions of attitude reached by factor analysis, denominated value and cognitive competence and difficulty. Cluster analysis was applied and found four groups of students, one of them has positive attitudes, one has negative attitudes and two don't have well defined attitudes. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis were applied to verify the differences between the clusters attitudes, among the courses attitudes and between male and female attitudes. Students present positive behavior in connection to Statistics. However, there is an unfavorable behavior about the complexity of Statistics and their beliefs about learning statistical concepts and tools. |

Trata-se do resultado obtido através da aplicação de um questionário, a escala SATS (Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics), a 337 alunos de cursos de Administração e Contabilidade de duas faculdades da região de Ribeirão Preto. Obteve-se, pela análise fatorial, duas dimensões atitudinais, denominadas valor e competência cognitiva e dificuldade. Pela análise de cluster foram obtidos quatro grupos de alunos, um com atitude predominantemente positiva, dois com atitude indefinida e um com atitude negativa. Foram aplicados os testes Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis para verificar a existência de diferença atitudinal entre os clusters, entre os cursos e entre os sexos masculino e feminino. Observou-se que os alunos possuem sentimentos positivos em relação à Estatística, mas consideram-na complexa e sentem insegurança quanto à aprendizagem dos conceitos e ferramentas estatísticos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2009-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8077.2009v11n25p3610.5007/2175-8077.2009v11n25p36Revista de Ciências da Administração; V. 11, n. 25, setembro/dezembro de 2009; 36-672175-80771516-3865reponame:Revista de Ciências da Administraçãoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/article/view/2175-8077.2009v11n25p36/17517Mantovani, Daielly Melina NassifLeite, Maria Flávia BarbosaShiraishi, Guilherme FariasViana, Adriana Backx Noronhainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-06-25T18:21:34Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/13076Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/admPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/adm/oairevista@cse.ufsc.br||mfpcris@gmail.com||rca.cse@contato.ufsc.br2175-80771516-3865opendoar:2018-06-25T18:21:34Revista de Ciências da Administração - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
