Abstract

This project seeks to develop a meta-analysis of three case studies constructed from a survey subsidized by FAPESP (process 2010/15957-0 FAPESP) when they investigated how teachers acquire professional knowledge about the processes of teaching and learning of Statistics and mathematics in different levels of education. The common thread was the research was the process of professional development of teachers of Basic Education and University in the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies for teaching and learning of Mathematics and Statistics. Therefore, it is considered as a corpus analysis of the study required the assembly of these three case studies, by contrast and interplay, seeking evidence of evidence of practices that promote professional development in different contexts and formative spaces. The meta-analysis will be developed in two perspectives: socialization practices developed by participating teachers and mobilize action for reflection, collaboration and research during the training meetings. There is the expectation that the analyzes and interpretations to be produced to generate results which emphasize practical training in Statistics Education ruled in investigative activities and collaborative catalysts for professional development of teachers teaching mathematics. Moreover, it is expected to present methodological contributions on the process of meta-analysis. (AU)
