STUDY OF THE INSERTION OF STATISTICAL EDUCATION IN THE CURRICULUM OF MATHEMATICS IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL FROM CAUSES INFERENCES
We believe that the formation of mathematics teachers, specifically in relation to Statistics and Probability, reflects a current need of society, due to the increasing availability of information disseminated in different media and new forms of social interaction driven by technological advances. Information, often replete with statistical and probabilistic elements, circulates with great speed and volume in today's media, and serves as the basis for important decisions to be taken, both individually and socially. Therefore, understanding the panorama of the formation of Mathematics teachers about these subjects is fundamental in front of this new formative perspective of the individual that is based on Statistical Education. This would be due to the fact that finding mechanisms for intervention in the formative dynamics of mathematics teachers can result in a positive reflection on the teaching and learning of these subjects. Thus, this study aims to investigate the formative problem of Basic Education teachers with a focus on their curricular structuring, seeking to delineate the elements that are the causes of the current workload, number of disciplines and training of teachers focused on Statistical Education in the Mathematics Undergraduate courses of Brazilian public universities. To this end, it is planned to develop a methodology based on the Causal Inference Theory (HERNAN; ROBINS, 2018) allowing the inference of causes about this problem. The inference will be based on the curricular organization of the degree courses in Mathematics of public universities in Brazil and the training of each teacher belonging to these courses. At the end, the results obtained by this inference will be discussed in light of the theoretical reference of Statistical Education, and notes will be made on this study and future researches will be made.
