Probabilidades e Estatística no Ensino da Matemática

It is intended to adjust the student’s prior knowledge of mathematics to the didactic teaching practice requirements of the Secondary Education. The recent reforms in the curriculum point to a pedagogical practice grounded in the scientific rigor. Thus, it is required, from the future mathematical teachers, a greater mathematical fluency. Accordingly, at the end of this course, the students should have acquired the following knowledge’s and capabilities:

- teach with confidence the topics of Probability and Statistics presented in the Mathematics Program;

- distinguish valid didactic approaches from those that do not fulfill the objectives listed in the Mathematics Program;

- being able use the calculator and the computer on the implementation of different statistical techniques.
