A pesquisa de opinião como metodologia para o ensino de estatística na educação básica: NEPSO

Abstract

This article brings reflections on a project developed with a group of students in the finalyears of elementary school at the Pedagogical Center of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, conducted by a teacher in training and guided by two teachers from the institution. We highlight the pedagogical actions produced for the teaching and learningof statistics in Basic Education, especially those related to the treatment of information, which were made possible using the NEPSO methodology -Our School Research Your Opinion. This methodology aims to provide students with experiences and processes of scientific research. For this, we developed a work with 14 students with the theme “sports”, whose interviewees were students at the University. After the interview phase, the results were tabulated, processed and then the students built several analytical charts. We highlight the double potential of the development of this work, both for the students and for the teacher in training.
