A VIEW OF THE STOCHASTIC TRAINING OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS IN THE STATE OF TOCANTINS

Abstract

The inclusion of Statistics, Probability and Combinatorics content in Mathematics curriculum recommendations, at all levels of Basic Education, reinforced the need for the Mathematics teacher to also be a stochastic educator. Thus, in addition to the concepts and procedures related to these themes, it is essential that theoretical, methodological, critical and reflective aspects are guaranteed in teacher training. So, this article proposes to investigate the initial training promoted by face-to-face Mathematics Degree courses in Tocantins with regard to stochastic content, using bibliographic and documentary research. As successful actions, the use of technologies, the integration of content with transversal themes and practices as a curricular component and the frequentist probability approach were identified. However, there is no specific course that covers all these elements or explains the existence of spaces in the subjects offered to discuss the teaching and learning of stochastic content in Basic Education.
