Formation for the development of the LeME Transforma Project: contributions to the academic and civic life of undergraduate students

This article discusses the contributions that the LeME Transforma Project can bring to the professional and citizen formation of undergraduate students. Therefore, the narratives of these students, shared during the training period in which they experienced Statistical Learning Projects, were qualitatively analyzed using the methodology of the Collective Subject Discourse. The undergraduates recognized the tools that Statistics provides for daily and teaching activities, which may be a reflection of the developed pedagogical strategy. Furthermore, they associated Statistics with financial issues and Probability, relating the knowledge derived from these areas to daily tasks. Participation in the project proved to be important in the construction of teaching knowledge, not only of content but also experiential. Therefore, the project and the proposition of an investigative methodology can contribute to a formation focused on critical citizenship, as well as in the constitution of teachers concerned with the social role that Statistics plays in the lives of their students.
