Abstract

In the talent cultivation of economics and management field, the Statistics is a basic course of methods that has the instrumental aspect as well as idea aspect. In recent years, the Statistics teaching team of School of Business of Jianghan University has tried to link the goal of guiding students to take virtue on foot with that of service to the national strategy. We set up a teaching route from "actual problems" starting from actual cases, traced by actual problems, and ending in hands-on practice. The preliminary teaching comments from students show that they are more willing to study statistical thinking by themselves and, at the same time, more willing to think about social values in data. The "good" self-development of professional competence and values awareness demonstrates the possibility that this route can serve as a replicable model of conferring with the ideological and political education to an economics and management course.
