Os dados das eleições brasileiras de 2022 : uma abordagem diferenciada para a estatística no ensino médio

Abstract

The study of statistics in high school is very important for several reasons, such as knowing how to interpret and evaluate information present in tables and graphs, understanding information from the media and the world, and thus making decisions and developing critical thinking, in addition to helping students to prepare for college life. To facilitate the assimilation of contents related to statistics, some methodologies can be adopted. The purpose of this work is to present the planning and application of an unprecedented class where students were challenged to do research on data related to the 2022 elections, more precisely, with the composition of the legislative benches of the congress and the Brazilian national senate, and also from the Legislative Assembly of the state of RS. In a second moment, the students carried out the statistical treatment of the data, organizing them in tables and percentages, classifying the elected candidates according to income, race, political party and gender. As a result, the students elaborated the representation of the data using concrete material, producing posters that contain graphs and tables that explain the panorama of the distribution of chairs in the benches in question, highlighting their characteristics. The implementation of the lesson plan was quite effective, as the students showed great interest in the use of technological tools, such as cell phones and Chromebooks, and the didactic material. They actively participated in the proposed activities and, in general, achieved the objectives established in the work, demonstrating the ability to make a connection between the theory of basic statistics and everyday life, allowing them to perceive practical situations from day to day and relate the concepts taught in school with your real life.
