Contradicting the “oldman of Restelo”: global analysis and components of the at...

The need to know the attitudes of teachers in relation to Statistics is recognized. Therefore, it’s possible to know better the teachers predisposition and commitment in the teaching and learning processes and also in their training. This study with 1098 teachers of the 1st and 2nd cycle of portuguese basic education focuses on the measurement of attitudes towards Statistics and theirs components by using a tes...

Estudio de las Actitudes hacia la Estadística en Estudiantes de Psicologia

La Estadística se ha incorporado en la mayoría de las carreras universitarias y entre ellas en el grado de psicología donde la enseñanza de conceptos estadísticos presenta problemas didácticos específicos debido a que los estudiantes que lo cursan tienen una base matemática muy heterogénea. En este trabajo nos centramos en el estudio de sus actitudes, por su influencia en el proceso de aprendizaje, y las analiz...

LET’S DO IT AGAIN: A SECOND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PORTUGUESE TEACHERS' ATTITU...

We continue to believe that teachers' attitudes towards statistics can have a significant effect on their own statistical training, their way of teaching statistics, and on the future attitudes of their students. The influence of attitudes in teaching statistics in different contexts was previously studied in several researches, including some of the authors. This work is part of a broader study of Portuguese o...

The knowledge of future teachers about proportionality through concept maps

We analyze the conceptual maps about proportionality produced by 24 pre-service primary school teachers. They developed individually two conceptual maps: one before to study of proportionality and scales in particular during several lessons at a context of formative evaluation and the other, on having finished the experience. Results show that most of misunderstandings do not persist in students after the exper...

The wonderful lamp of Aladdin? Project work in engineering courses

In the first semester of the 2012/2013 academic year we approached teaching and learning statistics using project work. Here we will present and discuss the proposal made to the students in the Probability and Statistics course for different engineering degrees – Civil, Energy and Mechanics Engineering from a Portuguese university. In the first cycle a survey from a Master’s thesis in civil engineering was the ...

Do you need to see it to believe it? Let's see statistics and geometry dynamica...

Statistical graphs, measures of central tendency and measures of spread are key concepts in the statistics curriculum, so we present here a dynamic method (software) that may be used in the classroom. In this work we begin with an introductory approach. This is done to emphasize the importance of stimulating the visualization of statistical measures by using available technology as a means of overcoming difficu...
