Abstract(s)
Neste artigo pretendemos dar a conhecer um estudo realizado na Républica de São Tomé e Princípe, no âmbito do curso de Mestrado em Ensino das Ciências e centrado no ensino da Estatística no ensino superior. Aqui pretendemos dar resposta à questão de investigação: Que práticas letivas desenvolvem os professores do ensino superior no ensino da Estatística? Metodologicamente optámos pela realização de um estudo de natureza qualitativa. Participaram dois professores que lecionavam a disciplina de Estatística no Instituto Superior Politécnico de São Tomé e Princípe. A recolha de dados foi efetuada através da realização de uma entrevista semi-estruturada e pela observação de três aulas a cada professor, nas quais foram abordadas as “Medidas de Tendência Central”. A análise de dados consistiu na definição de categorias no início do estudo. No que concerne às práticas de sala de aula, os dois professores adoptaram, nas aulas observadas, uma metodologia centrada num tipo de ensino de caráter expositivo, estruturando a sua prática letiva em três fases: apresentação teórica de termos e conceitos, resolução de um exercício de aplicação do conceito em estudo e resolução de outros exercícios para a consolidação do mesmo. É de referir que os alunos manifestaram interesse nas aulas, procuraram esclarecer as suas dúvidas e ajudar os colegas na compreensão dos conceitos em estudo e cooperaram na realização das tarefas, tanto individualmente no caderno como coletivamente no quadro.
In this paper we aim at unveiling an analysis undertaken in the R.D. of S. Tomé e Príncipe within a master’s course in Teaching Sciences and centred on teaching statistics in higher education. We wish to furnish a question to the investigation question: which teaching practices do higher education teachers develop when teaching statistics. Methodologically we opted for a qualitative study. Two lecturers teaching Statistics in the Instituto Superior Politécnico of São Tomé e Príncipe participated. Data gathering occurred through conducting a semi-structured interview and observation of three classes for each lecturer, in which “Measures of Central Tendency” were approached. Data analysis consisted in the definition of categories in the beginning of the study. Concerning classroom practices, both lecturers opted for, in the classes observed, a teaching methodology centred on a basically expositive teaching approach, structuring their teaching practice around three steps: theoretical presentation of terms and concepts; solving an exercise applying the concept under study and; solving further exercises aiming at reinforcing the same. It must be noted that students have shown an high degree of interest in the lectures, have sought to solve their doubts and tried to help colleagues in understanding concepts under study and cooperated in performing tasks, both on an individual level on their exercise books or collectively on the blackboard.
