Since the start of the Nursing Bachelor’s program in 2006, there has been a serious difficulty in learning Statistics in the Research Methodology Module for Nursing. Various factors are associated with this issue. What is referred to as a “laboratory” is, in reality, a cubicle that includes a professor, an associate professor, and three nursing interns. The objective of the laboratory is to investigate the teaching and learning process of Applied Statistics in the scientific training of students. Our research focus on the teaching and learning process has allowed us to explore topics such as the meaning of the concept of scientific training, the association between Statistics and Epidemiology, teaching techniques to improve the teaching of Statistics, attitudes toward scientific research, academic achievement during the learning of Statistics, the use of the ritual of statistical significance, the use of predictive models in Statistics teaching, diagnosis of research competencies, methodological quality of student work, and intensive use of statistical software in teaching. This laboratory has facilitated the thesis-based graduation of approximately 40 nursing students in a period of 14 years, along with the publication of two books, more than 40 scientific articles, and participation in specialized congresses.
