A Metodologia de ensino-aprendizagem-avaliação de matemática através da resolução de problemas no desenvolvimento da literacia estatística

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze which elements of statistical literacy were developed with students of the 9th year of Middle School when making use of the Methodology of Teaching-Learning-Assessment of Mathematics through Problem Solving. The research, with a qualitative approach, had as participants 24 students from the 9th grade of Elementary School, from a public school in the north of Paraná. The research instrument consisted of six generative problems developed from the context of situations experienced and preferred by the students, in addition to being themes that proved to be relevant due to being of collective interest. The data produced were recorded through problem resolutions, audio recordings of students' group discussions, in addition to the teacher-researcher's field diary. The elements of statistical literacy were mobilized throughout the implementation of the generating problems, which enabled its development with the research participants. In addition, even in the face of difficulties, students used prior knowledge when solving problems, and made use of different strategies. In this way, the resolution of problems in this research allowed them to opine, debate and reach a consensus, with the teacher as a mediator in the teaching-learning process. The research generated a material as an educational product, aimed at teachers, entitled “Development of statistical literacy through Problem Solving”. In it, the generating problems, references on Problem Solving and Statistics that were used in the research and general guidelines for teachers who want to take the problems to their classrooms are made available.
