description Currently, statistical inference is a key element to apply the experimental scientific method. However, classic textbooks give a great importance to parametric methods, biasing their use in various academic-research fields. The objective of this research work is focused on the investigation of the treatment given by university texts to the subject of non-parametric statistical models in relation to hypothesis testing. The methodology includes content analysis techniques applied to 10 classic statistics books and 12 specialized in non-parametric statistics. The results showed that the classic statistics books used in different universities careers deal with little content on non-parametric methods and with different levels of depth. It is concluded that university textbooks give low importance to the approach of non-parametric models, required in a diversity of investigative practices.

Actualmente, la inferencia estadística se constituye en un elemento clave para aplicar el método científico experimental. Sin embargo, los libros de texto clásicos conceden un mayor peso a los métodos paramétricos, parcializando su uso en diversos ámbitos académico-investigativos. El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación se focalizó en indagar sobre el tratamiento otorgado por los textos universitarios al tema de los modelos estadísticos no paramétricos en lo referente a la prueba de hipótesis. La metodología incluyó técnicas de análisis de contenido aplicadas a 10 libros clásicos de estadística y 12 especializados en no paramétrica. Los resultados evidenciaron que, los libros de estadística clásicos usados en diferentes carreras universitarias tratan pocos contenidos sobre métodos no paramétricos y con diferente nivel de profundidad. Se concluye que, los libros de texto universitarios otorgan baja importancia al abordaje de los modelos no paramétricos, requeridos en una diversidad de prácticas investigativas.
