O letramento estatístico: uma proposta de intervenção para o 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

With the speed of information, statistics became an essential tool for every professional, having an increasingly effective participation in analyzing and evaluating data and thus contributing significantly to decision-making. For this to happen, Statistical Literacy must be developed. which is of paramount importance for society, as it enables individuals to build their critical knowledge. Therefore, teaching statistics is so important for citizens, as it enables them to interpret statistical tables and graphs that appear frequently in the media, enabling them to critically deal with statistical tools, helping them in their personal development. This work is based on Gal (2002) who defines statistical literacy and on Carzola (2017) who directs us in the teaching of statistics. The development of Statistical Literacy arises from the need to train citizens with interpretive and participatory views, and also to provide the teacher with more adequate training, and thus be able to act and intervene in statistical education, with the aim of providing dialogue on statistical literacy. The current work presents an intervention proposal in order to conduct a problematization in which the student would be invited to produce a survey to become intimate with the statistical vocabulary, organize the data collected through tables and graphs, deduce conclusions and, in the end, give opportunity for the student to explain orally or through a written text about the purpose of the research. In this context, the lesson plan is a statistical research through na investigation, which was developed for 6th grade students, the activities rely on step by step (problematization, planning and execution). Promoting the ability to make statistical interpretations and inferences.
