Statistics inquiry and the students’ engagement in the change of paradigm
Résumé
The Anthropological Theory of the Didactic introduces an instructional proposal called “study and research paths” (SRPs) based on the study of open questions that integrates inquiry processes with the study of new content to elaborate answers to the questions addressed. The aim of this paper is to analyse the students’ perspectives to an activity carried out as an SRP to teach statistics in grade 10 and compare it to a previous one implemented as a more traditional statistical project. The analysis is based on the results of a survey and semi-structured interviews to students who participated in both the SRP and the project activity. They show an increase of students’ responsibilities in the inquiry
process and an improvement of their engagement.
