ABSTRACT

This paper aims to highlight the intention of undergraduate students, who act as teachers of the Program of Statistical Multimedia Literacy (LeME), to promote Social Justice through Statistical Literacy. The LeME consists of an Extension Program, linked to the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG), which has the purpose of promoting the human right of equality in the scope of Statistical Education. Based on concepts of Descriptive Statistics, the LeME seeks to statistically teach young people in socioeconomic and environmental vulnerability, as well as to provide to the academics an experience in teaching initiation. The analysis of the corpus, composed of the reflexive diaries of actions developed in statistical workshops prepared by the undergraduates, was carried out through the methodology of Content Analysis. This process resulted in two categories: social context and criticality. The discussion of these results, based on Social Justice referential, in the interface with Education, Mathematics Education and Statistics, generated arguments that endorse and legitimize the social context and criticality as aspects that promote Social Justice through Statistical Literacy.
