Abstract
The aim of teaching biostatistics is to provide second-year students with essential skills and knowledge to analyze, interpret, and draw conclusions from biological data. The objectives of teaching biostatistics are:
- Understanding of fundamental statistical concepts: students should gain a thorough understanding of basic statistical concepts such as probability, distribution, mean, median, standard deviation, etc.
- Data collection and analysis: students should learn data collection techniques, including the design of experimental studies, sample selection and collection of relevant data. They should also be able to analyze these data using appropriate statistical methods.
- Interpretation of results: Instruction should enable students to correctly interpret statistical results. This includes the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from statistical analyses, assess the validity of results, and recognize study limitations.
To achieve these goals, the student must have notions of probability and numerical analysis already seen in the subject Mathematics in the first year.
