Abstract

There are presented thoughts and ideas about the dangers in respect to introducing consumer statistical software in teaching. The emphasis is on particular worrisome issues related to the algorithmic type of teaching, which is also disconnected from the theoretical and logical grounds, statistical methods through statistical software by specialists in the field of non-methodological sciences where statistical methodology is applied. A conclusion is made that when in teaching the focus is on statistical software as the main tool of ?recipe?-like learning of how to apply the methods rather than their essence and logics, to a greater degree digitalization turns out a curse than a blessing for the education in statistics.
