Development Statistical Thinking in Future Mexican Telesecundaria Teachers

The objective of this research is to analyze qualitatively the implementation of statistical projects as a strategy for developing statistical thinking in future telesecundaria teachers. This research provides valuable elements for the teacher training process such as having theoretical and methodological aspects that guide the training of prospective teachers. The theoretical elements—a framework of indicators and criteria to analyze the development of statistical thinking—serve as reference points around which to direct teacher learning; the methodological aspects favor the context to interact with these theoretical elements and take part in them. The results indicate that projects allow future teachers to develop important elements of statistical thinking and appreciate the use of statistics as a tool for solving problems such as those they face during their profession.
