O letramento estatístico em contextos sócio-político-culturais: contribuições a partir da trajetória do Gpemce.

Abstract

In this chapter we present aspects of the theoretical-methodological paths that the Research Group on Mathematics Education in the Contexts of Field Education (Gpemce) has followed since its foundation in 2008. Gpemce is linked to the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) together with the Postgraduate in Mathematics and Technological Education (Edumatec), has members from six Brazilian states and some international partnerships. It develops research that addresses the teaching and learning of Statistics at different levels, as well as teacher education processes, in the contexts of Field Education, Quilombola Education and Indigenous School Education. In its studies, Gpemce investigates social, political and cultural aspects as fundamental elements in mobilizing Statistical Literacy processes. To illustrate, we present aspects of three doctoral studies, which elucidate how this group faces emerging issues in society, explaining how Statistics Education and Statistical Literacy can contribute to the construction and consolidation of paths to social justice.
