Noções de estatística para sexto ano do ensino fundamental: aprendizagem por meio de projeto

Abstract

This research presents a research proposal whose objective is to verify the contributions that the implementation of the project provides in the construction of statistical knowledge and the development of statistical literacy for students of the sixth year of Elementary School. The choice of the object of study was based on the concerns that permeate the practice of the teacherresearcher, leading us to reflect on the importance of pedagogical interventions that promote the effectiveness of teaching and learning. From this perspective, the question of this research arises: What are the potentialities of structuring and conducting a project, together with a sixthgrade class of Elementary School, with a view to the construction of statistical knowledge? For the development of qualitative research and to achieve the proposed objectives and answer the research question, we will rely on the methodological assumptions of Didactic Engineering. The theoretical foundations that support the research will have an approach in the conceptions of Statistical Education, as well as the three competencies advocated by this field of study, Literacy, Reasoning and Statistical Thinking. The work with projects is a teaching alternative that aims to provide the involvement of students in the construction of new knowledge and, thus, we carry out studies on the proposals presented by the Project Pedagogy. The research was developed during mathematics classes in a 6th grade class of Elementary School in a public school, and the researcher is the regent teacher. The implementation of the project as a proposal for the construction of statistical knowledge evidenced that teaching practices that stimulate student engagement promote skills and competencies to the subjects involved in the teaching and learning process in the educational environment
