O RSTUDIO como suporte no ensino de probabilidade sob a abordagem frequentista

Abstract

The National Common Curricular Base suggests the teaching of Probability since the first years of Elementary School, highlighting the importance of the theme for the integral formation of the student as a citizen. Although it is observed in practice the frequent teaching of Probability under the classical approach, the theme can be treated under several approaches, and working with some of them simultaneously can be essential for a better understanding and mastery of the probabilistic contents. In this sense, this dissertation has as main objective to present to teachers and other interested parties a possibility for the teaching of Probability under the frequentist approach through simulations carried out in the RStudio software. To this end, the results of a documentary analysis that mainly highlights the history of Probability throughout human evolution and the recommendations of official documents that regulate Basic Education are presented. Subsequently, the main concepts and definitions related to the teaching of Probability under the two approaches are highlighted, in addition to providing the necessary support for conducting simulations in RStudio, necessary for the frequentist approach to Probability. Finally, resolutions of some problems of textbooks of Elementary and Secondary Education in the state education system of Tocantins are presented, under the classical and frequentist approaches, the latter, with the help of Rstudio. With this, it is intended that this work serves as a basis for lesson planning and development of other works, so that better results in the process of teaching and learning Probability are obtained through the diversification of pedagogical practice.
