Abstract(s)
A Estatística é cada vez mais uma disciplina incontornável no laboratório do
conhecimento humano. Esta ciência constitui, a par com os sistemas de informação, um
dos pilares base da Sociedade de Informação e Conhecimento, em franco
desenvolvimento e procurando cada vez maiores alcances no domínio do ser humano
sobre os fenómenos sociais e naturais, de forma a preveni-los e antecipa-los. É deste
modo uma disciplina transversal a todas as áreas de conhecimento científico e
tecnológico. Sendo assim a sua aprendizagem e captação pelos cidadãos deviam estar
coroados de êxitos. Porém, verifica-se que o seu ensino parece enfermar-se de um certo
insucesso, e tal situação não tem fronteiras, pelo que S. Tomé e Príncipe não foge a
regra.
O estudo realizado teve como finalidade equacionar os desafios à volta do
processo de ensino/aprendizagem da Estatística. Nesse sentido, foi desenvolvida uma
revisão bibliográfica para sistematizar as características dos métodos de ensino em geral
e da Estatística em particular, procurando relacioná-lo com os relatos sobre o relativo
insucesso no ensino desta disciplina. Particular destaque foi dado aos estudos e análises
desenvolvidos no Brasil, em Portugal e noutros países no âmbito da área cognitiva,
esperando assim contribuir para a divulgação de ferramentas educativas, muitas vezes
desconhecidas ou mal aplicadas nas escolas, pelos professores e educadores.
Na investigação empírica, optou-se por procurar conhecer, na ótica dos alunos, o
grupo alvo no processo de ensino/aprendizagem, quais são as barreiras ou os
constrangimentos que se podem identificar, seriar e diagnosticar soluções, no ensino de
estatística. A recolha de dados no terreno foi dirigido a um grupo de alunos do ensino
superior, e nesse sentido auscultámos, através de inquéritos por questionário, a opinião
de alunos do Instituto Superior Politécnico de S. Tomé e Príncipe (ISP).
Esperamos que as conclusões e recomendações extraídas deste estudo, com base
neste inquérito, venham a contribuir para promover melhores dias de sucesso no
processo de ensino/aprendizagem de Estatística em S. Tomé e Príncipe.
Nowadays, statistics is increasingly a subject indispensable in the laboratory of human knowledge. This science is, together with information systems, one of the basic pillars of the Information Society, in rapid development and increasingly looking for greater achievement in the field of human beings over natural and social phenomena, in order to prevent and anticipates them. It is thus a discipline across all areas of scientific and technological knowledge. Thus, their learning and uptake by citizens should be crowned with success. It however appears that it teaching seems to be tainted with a certain failure, and such a situation has no borders, so S. Tome and Principe is no exception to the rule. The study made was aimed to equate the challenges around the process of Teaching and Learning of Statistics. In this regard, a systematic review was developed to systematize the characteristics of the teaching methods in general and statistics in particular, trying to relate it with the reports of the relative failure in teaching this subject. Particular emphasis was given to studies and analyzes in Brazil, Portugal and other countries within the cognitive area, hoping to contribute to the dissemination of educational tools, and often unknown or poorly applied in schools by teachers and educators. In empirical research, it was decided to seek to know from the perspective of students, the target group in the teaching-learning process, and what are the barriers or constraints that can be identified, serialized and diagnose solutions in teaching statistics. Data collection in the field was directed to a group of students in higher education, and in that sense, we heard from them through questionnaire surveys, the opinion of students of the Polytechnic of S. Tome and Príncipe (ISP). We hope that the conclusions and recommendations drawn from this study, based on this survey will help to promote better days of success in Teaching and Learning Statistics in S. Tome and Principe.
