Abstract

In order to encourage the study and active participation on the subject Statistics at the first year of the Bachelor of Computer Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, it was decided to use social networks by creating a Facebook group with students during the 2015-2016 course in order to provide students with a total of 10 items (both research and outreach, curiosities and news collected by the media), in which reference was made to the application of concepts or statistical techniques taught in the classroom, on different environments of daily life. All these works were commented on by students generating discussion groups and participating actively in the subject. The results show a high participation (103 students) with an average of 32.43 comments by item and 115.72 words on average for comment, although reaction (likes) metrics are very scarce, showing the inadequacy of these as a success factor in this type of educational initiatives.
