Desvendando a estatística no ensino fundamental: uma análise crítica das práticas pedagógicas e estratégias

Abstract

The objective of this research was to carry out a critical analysis of teaching and learning practices in the 9th year of Elementary School, based on a literature review in the area. To support this work, authors such as Carzola (2004; 2020), Batista (2021), Fierri (2021), Nascimento et al. (2023), Magalhães (2022), Silva e Couto (2021), Lopes e Socha (2020), among others. The methodology used to conduct the research is characterized in terms of objectives as being descriptive. Regarding the technical procedures used, it is characterized as bibliographical research and in relation to the approach method, it is characterized as qualitative and quantitative research. Additionally, direct research was carried out in the classroom with 37 9th year students from a municipal school, located in the municipality of Rio Tinto - PB. As a data collection instrument, a structured questionnaire developed to analyze students' main difficulties in relation to statistics was used. The results showed that pedagogical tools and approaches, such as the PPDAC Investigative Cycle, the AtivEstat portal, Conversation Circles and Problem Solving, play a fundamental role in facilitating the understanding and application of statistical concepts. However, it was observed that the majority of students faced significant challenges in issues related to statistical problems, highlighting the need for innovative and effective methods in teaching these concepts at this level of education, with the aim of improving performance and understanding.
