- Abstract
We present research, an excerpt from a doctoral thesis, focusing on Critical Statistical Education (CSE) of students, aged between 14 and 17, from a pre-professional educational institution that serves young people in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability. Students developed Statistical Learning Projects (Projetos de Aprendizagem Estatísticos - PAE) in the context of implementing of the Statistical Literacy Multimedia Project (Projeto de Letramento Multimídia Estatístico - LeME). Our objective was to investigate emerging aspects involved in LeME that can mobilize an CSE and promote inclusion and social justice. To this end, transcripts of collective interviews with students held after completing the PAEs were analyzed. This analysis was carried out with the help of the Collective Subject Discourse technique and focused mainly on concepts related to Critical Statistical Education, inclusive education and social justice. The analysis of the answers to two interview questions revealed that the LeME mobilized several characteristics of the CSE, such as the contextualization of statistical concepts, collaborative work, encouragement of analysis and interpretation of results, a democratic learning environment, as well as critical reflection on the role of statistics in society. Regarding aspects related to inclusion and social justice, characteristics were observed in the LeME such as group work, use of real data, construction of statistical knowledge, development of social skills and reflection that are in line with a cooperative learning approach to inclusion. The LeME also made it possible to promote social justice through reading and writing about the world, considering the context and reality of the students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
