Estatística nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental: um olhar para dois livros didáticos do 3º ano

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the contributions of two textbooks, used by a class of the 3rd year of Elementary School, in the learning of statistical contents from the perspective of Literacy and Mathematical Literacy. Based on the theoretical texts of Lopes (1998), Dante (1996), of the National Curriculum Parameters of Mathematics (PCN, 1997); of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC, 2018), Gay (2008) among other authors, who support the research. The methodology is based on content analysis by Oliveira and Freire Andrade (2003), and Bardin (1977). We built two categories and seven subcategories of analysis for a universe of two textbooks. We used the open interview and two textbooks used by the teacher as the main research instrument. In this context, one of the results pointed out in this research was the importance of educating in having access to statistical concepts focused on the perspective of Literacy and Mathematical Literacy. This includes a strong ability to analyze and understand their meanings as well as being able to make a critical analysis of the data presented. Thus, the school has an important role to play in the dissemination of statistical knowledge, by improving and stimulating the ability to read and interpret data.
