Abstract
This paper presents an experience carried out by teachers of the Statistics area of the Mathematics Department of the Universidad Nacional del Sur. It was carried out with second year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences, who are taking the subject Biostatistics and are aged between 19 and 21 years old. We share a teaching proposal using a didactic device that promotes the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by students. It was designed by the department and is based on spreadsheets containing the necessary tools for data processing. In this experience, the concept of sample composition of qualitative variables, dominance and diversity indexes and graphic representation by means of ternary diagrams were addressed. This didactic instrument involved students in intellectual activities related to reflection, exploration capacity, investigative interest, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
