DIDACTICS FOR STATISTICAL DEVELOPMENT IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

Abstract

"Didactics is a concept which leaves space for the learner's thinking not to be interrupted, and that unnoticed takes a good direction (Tierno Galván, 1986). With this in mind, this panel presents two instances in which didactics have contributed to the statistical development of fifth and sixth year primary school pupils. On the one hand, the methodological and didactic orientations of an implemented statistical proposal are detailed; in this block, didactic principles to be taken into account for statistical improvement in primary education are indicated. On the other hand, data on the results obtained after the didactic proposal are presented; data on the graphic reading developed and the mathematical language used in the communications will be presented. This panel provides significant data derived from a more complete investigation in which 312 primary school pupils participated, and where a quasi-experimental study with a control group was carried out."
