These are summarized in: 1) present statistics oriented towards research, not mathematics; 2) focus training on the research population and on the needs and decisions that it must make; 3) reduce the use of statistical tables; 4) rely on statistical software; and 5) contextualize statistics as part of an intertwined, multifaceted and complex reality. The literature and the recommendations of the American Statistical Association support those five aspects.
