In this paper we analyse the didactic suitability of a teaching intervention on the learning of hypothesis tests, based on a project work methodology, which was implemented in 31 students of the Bachelor of Computer Informatics Engineering of the School of Engineering of Porto, in the academic year 2014 -2015. In this teaching intervention the students, organized into seven groups, carried out a project work, in which the various data produced by the different groups were studied and discussed according to the components and indicators of epistemic, cognitive and mediational suitability. From the analysis produced, in conclusion, there was a high epistemic suitability and a medium cognitive and mediational suitability.References
