BELLO, Samuel Edmundo Lopez  and  SPERRHAKE, Renata. Education and social risk in the inclusion of curriculum statistical knowledge in Brazil. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.4, pp.415-424. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v38i4.27882.

The inclusion of statistical knowledge in the curriculum of basic Education is discussed. Why are certain themes, developed on the curriculum statistical knowledge, underscored? Why are statistics a curriculum subject through school programs for good teaching and learning practices? The Brazilian Curriculum Parameters for Basic and High School Education and Teachers´ Formation Book 7 of the National Agreement for Right Age Schooling are investigated. Foucault´s concepts of Governamentality and Countability are employed for analysis. Results show that inclusion of statistical knowledge in the curriculum does not merely include the teaching and learning of certain contents, but also the learning and teaching of attitudes in the agents´ mode of being by taking a stand in determined situations and making decisions.

Keywords : governmentality; curriculum; risk management.
