“…Many recent studies [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] show that implementing a project-based view either for an entire statistics course, a module in a course or as an assessment tool can result in the improvement of student engagement and admittedly make them learn more compared to traditional education. Students seemed to favour projects to be included in statistics because they could learn better in such an environment that simulated future work and could obtain skills that are valued at the labour market as well.…”

To act as a responsible member of a democratic society, everybody needs statistical literacy and practical knowledge on how to use statistical data, visualization, and methods. In the case of professions that use or produce statistical data the correct use of statistics and statistical thinking are also important. Practice and knowledge applicable in real life are also needed. To reach these requirements, using real-life problems, modern technologies (digital solutions, online tools) and up-to-date teaching methods tailored to the target audiences is crucial. Several papers show that the use of real problems, technology and modern teaching methods are more efficient than the traditional frontal teaching method. In this study, we describe some new teaching methods, for instance problem-based learning, project-based learning, thinking-based learning, flipped classroom, gamification, new technological devices. We also discuss the combination of different methods and modern technology in action in the field of Statistics. The paper shares our developments, experiences, and lessons we learnt from classes. One of our main results is the idea that the use of modern teaching approaches leads to more practical and applicable knowledge; however, their success also depends on both the educators’ and the students’ time expenditure and attitude.

“…Because students have trouble defining and presenting research data in their thesis writing, their statistical literacy abilities have not produced the desired outcomes. Poor statistical literacy is a result of pupils' incapacity to apply statistics in daily life and a lack of statistical literacy abilities [5][6][7].…”

Statistical literacy skills in the era of society 5.0 are needed to overcome various problems. But interest in studying statistics is still relatively low. Thus, the learning process must be able to synergize between learning materials (content), learning methods (pedagogy), and learning media (technologi). The moodle-learning management system is one of these advances in education. If the moodle-learning management System is appropriately constructed to facilitate the usage of many platforms, users can utilize it as a learning environment with any device. This study aims to observe statistical literacy skills through the moodle-learning management system. Participants were selected from among sophomore students at the Indonesian Institute of Education: 32 people made up the control group, while 32 made up the experimental group. The results demonstrate that, at a significance level of 0.05, the experimental group’s statistical literacy abilities are substantially different from those of the control group. Students in the experimental group had literacy abilities that were 90.31% greater than those in the control group, which had literacy abilities that were 67.47%. These findings suggest that students’ statistical literacy skills are impacted by the Moodle learning management system.
