Abstract

Driven by the demand for digital transformation, Statistics for Economics and Management, as a distinct application-oriented foundational course in university mathematics programs, requires ongoing exploration in its teaching reform. Against the backdrop of New Liberal Arts education, this study analyzes the current state of course teaching from both theoretical and practical perspectives and proposes teaching reform strategies from a New Liberal Arts viewpoint. The research aims to deepen reflection and exploration on the reform of statistics teaching, ultimately addressing the disconnection between traditional instruction and practical application, thereby providing insights for cultivating interdisciplinary talents in New Liberal Arts fields within economics and management disciplines.
