Los sujetos de estudio fueron 19 estudiantes con edades entre los 19 y 21 años de la carrera de Políticas Públicas de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa (México), quienes tomaban el curso de Probabilidad y Estadística. Para el análisis de la información se consideraron las etapas del ciclo de investigación estadística e indicadores de pensamiento estadístico que tienen lugar en cada una de ellas. La motivación se evaluó con una prueba de actitudes hacia la estadística. Los resultados muestran que los proyectos tienen potencial para ayudar al estudiantado a desarrollar una actitud positiva y sentido de utilidad hacia la estadística, ya que los promedios de las principales variables reflejaron una opinión favorable sobre el trabajo con proyectos. El análisis revela la presencia de diversos indicadores de pensamiento estadístico desarrollados por el estudiantado, tales como la identificación de problemas presentes en la recopilación de los datos y el reconocimiento de la importancia de los métodos aleatorios para generalizar la información de la muestra a la población. Aunque los procesos de transnumeración de los datos estuvieron enfocados principalmente en el análisis de variables individuales mediante construcción de gráficas, fue suficiente para identificar algunas hipótesis plausibles del comportamiento de la población de donde provenían los datos. El análisis bivariado de datos tuvo poca presencia en los proyectos de los y las estudiantes.]]></p></abstract>
