Abstract: 

New technologies involve a reformulation of statistical teaching contents and methodology and, at the same time, reinforce the need for a deeper training of students, including developing students' statistical reasoning. In this work we evaluate the statistical reasoning ability acquired by health sciences students from the analysis of their final undergraduate projects.
