O ensino e a aprendizagem de estatística nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: o uso da ferramenta Scratch na formação do pedagogo

Abstract

The National Curriculum Parameters (PCN, in Portuguese) published in 1997 and incorporated into the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC, in Portuguese) in 2017, advocate that Statistics should be taught throughout Basic Education, since the initial years. However, studies show that teachers in the early years do not receive adequate training because, when provided in the course's curriculum, Statistics is generally geared towards school administration, so it does not present content for its teaching. In this sense, this research started from the following focus question: How can Scratch contribute to the improvement of the Pedagogue's pedagogical praxis for the teaching of Statistics in the early years of Elementary School? The main objective of this research is to develop an educational product with guidelines for the construction of animations/games, using the computational tool Scratch, which can help Pedagogy students in the teaching and learning process of Statistics content, provided for in the BNCC for the early years of Elementary School. The Product developed is a material in PDF format entitled “Introduction to Scratch Quick guide for Pedagogy Students”. The research presents a qualitative approach of an applied nature, the research instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. The product was tested by fifteen students from the Pedagogy course of public institutions and validated by an Expert Panel composed of three professors: two Pedagogues and one Statistician. The results presented show that the educational product meets the proposed objective, considering that the validation of the expert panel and the testing of pedagogy students were considered satisfactory, indicating that the product will be of great contribution to the target audience.
