Ensino de Probabilidade como objeto de pesquisa: o que vem sendo investigado?

Abstract

This paper presents a bibliographic study about Teaching Probability in Statistical Education, aiming to identify, characterize and understand what has been investigated in Brazilian scientific productions that address Probability Teaching in special editions of Statistical Education. The methodological procedures followed the assumptions of a Bibliographic Review, through two moments: initially, Brazilian journals with publications in Statistical Education were selected, and in a period of nine years, the productions related to the Teaching of Probability in Statistical Education were selected; later, a synthesis was carried out in order to highlight the main theoretical and methodological focuses. 29 papers from 159 investigated articles were analyzed and from these two research categories emerged: in relation to theoretical foundation and in relation to methodological approaches taken by the authors in the works. For that, the data were analyzed qualitatively, using a bibliographic study procedure, with a descriptive objective and exploratory nature. Understanding these categories and their interrelationships can make this field of study more concrete for its effective application in Probability Teaching classes.
