The incorrect interpretations and researchers ' excessive confidence in statistical inference have lead to intensive criticism by different professional organisations that have had scarce impact on the didactical practices at University level. In this paper we analyse this situation and conclude with some reflections about the teaching of statistical inference to undergraduates. Resumen Controversias metodológicas y didácticas sobre la inferencia estadística Las interpretaciones incorrectas de la inferencia estadística y la excesiva confianza de los investigadores en ella han originado una extensa crítica por parte de diferentes organizaciones profesionales que ha tenido poco impacto sobre las prácticas didácticas en la Universidad. En este trabajo analizamos esta situación y concluímos con algunas reflexiones sobre la enseñanza de la inferencia estadística en los cursos de pregrado. Résumé Controverses méthodologiques et didactiques à propos de l’inférence statistique Les interprétations incorrectes de l’inférence statistique et l’excessive confiance manifestée par les chercheurs à son égard ont donné lieu à une large critique de la part de diverses organisations professionnelles qui a cependant eu peu d’impact sur les pratiques didactiques au niveau de l’enseignement universitaire. Dans ce travail, nous analysons principalement cette situation et nous concluons avec quelques réflexions sur l’enseignement de l’inférence statistique dans la formation en statistique des étudiants dans les divers cours universitaires. Empirical sciences rely heavily on establishing the existence of effects using the statistical analysis of data. Statistical inference dates back almost 300 years. However, since the logic of statistical inference is difficult to grasp, its use and interpretation are not always adequate and have been criticized for nearly 50 years (for example, in Yates, 1951). Extensive review of criticisms against significance testing can be found in Morrison and Henkel (1970)
