PICCOLI, João Pedro; ALENCAR, Edvonete Souza de  and  DIAZ-LEVICOY, Danilo. Influences of the Chilean Didactic Manual for Teaching Probability and Statistics in the Early Years of Elementary School. Educ. Puc. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e238465. ISSN 2318-0870.  https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v28e2023a8465.

In the school environment, the textbook is a tool widely used by teachers and students. All these collections have a didactic manual, available for access only to the faculty. Thus, the present research sought to reveal the specialized knowledge of the Chilean didactic manual for teaching Probability and Statistics in the first and second year of Basic Education, in which six and seven years old students enroll regularly. The understanding of this knowledge, as well as its influences, allows the educator to identify the possible difficulties that students may acquire during the learning of this thematic axis. Consequently, it will be easier to devise strategies that minimize these impacts. The study took place in the form of documentary research, focusing on the Sumo Primero collection (2022). The framework was based on the theoretical model of the Mathematics Teacher’s Specialized Knowledge, which categorized the mathematics teacher’s specialized knowledge into six main subdomains. By studying and analyzing the afore mentioned manual, we sought to identify the knowledge that stood out the most, according to the classification of the indicated sections according to the norms of the mentioned model. As a result, the most evident subdomain was Knowledge of Mathematics Learning Standards and the least prevalent was Knowledge of the Structure of Mathematics. It is expected that this research will contribute to the formation of teachers, in order to also constitute itself for the thought of new investigations.
