Abstract

This paper investigates how a project about electronic waste surrounding the teaching and learning process regarding the production, organization, and information of data can provide opportunities for the development of students' ecological awareness. It is characterized as qualitative research supported by the didactic engineering methodology and based on the theory of didactic situations. It was developed in a remote teaching scenario, due to the adjustments imposed by the new coronavirus pandemic, with 7th grade students from a federal public school, nineteen of whom were subjects of the research. The students' productions in the project phases composed the research data and were analyzed, validating the hypothesis that the assimilated knowledge enhanced the learning of objects of statistical knowledge, and, at the same time, added values related to ecological awareness. As a result, it was developed the educational product “Electronic waste: from collection to disposal” in the format of a guidebook, with guidelines for the development of a project which main objective is to raise the ecological awareness of the electronic waste through the mobilization of objects of statistical knowledge.
