Abstract

Despite the possibilities of interactions and sharing information, only few studies investigated the use of messenger apps as a pedagogical tool. This paper reflects on possible uses of messenger app as a way to share and expand knowledge about the teaching and learning of statistics. The discussion is based on theoretical perspectives on statistics education, critical mathematics education and M-learning. A pilot study was conducted with early years elementary school Brazilian teachers. In this paper we discuss results from participants’ responses to an online questionnaire. The results indicated that participants frequently use WhatsApp application and email on daily basis. Regarding the teachers' previous teaching of statistics, their responses suggested that they know about statistical graphs and they already approached pedagogical activities on statistical contents. Further stages of this study will explore in-service teacher education situations in which the use of Whatsapp might assist discussions and elaborations of pedagogical activities in school and extra-school contexts.

在智能手机信使应用的支持下，老师们就统计素养进行对话

尽管有互动和分享信息的可能性，但只有少数研究调查了将信使应用程序作为教学工具的使用。本文反映了messenger应用程序作为一种分享和扩展统计学教学知识的可能用途。讨论基于统计学教育、批判数学教育和移动学习的理论视角。对巴西小学早期教师进行了一项试点研究。在本文中，我们讨论了参与者对在线问卷的回答结果。结果表明，参与者在日常生活中频繁使用WhatsApp应用程序和电子邮件。对于教师之前的统计学教学，他们的反应表明他们了解统计图表，并且已经接触过统计内容的教学活动。本研究的进一步阶段将探讨在职教师教育情况，在这种情况下，使用Whatsapp可能有助于在学校和课外环境中讨论和阐述教学活动。
