| Resumo: | We continue to believe that teachers' attitudes towards statistics can have a significant effect on their
own statistical training, their way of teaching statistics, and on the future attitudes of their students.
The influence of attitudes in teaching statistics in different contexts was previously studied in several
researches, including some of the authors. This work is part of a broader study of Portuguese of
attitudes towards statistics of Portuguese in-service teachers. Here we used a qualitative content
analysis of survey responses from Portuguese 2nd cycle in-service teachers (students aged 10 or 11),
focusing on 9 open-ended items from the EAEE – Escala de Actitudes hacia la Estadistica de Estrada.
The EAEE survey was presented to Portuguese in-service 2nd cycle teachers and all of them were
asked to complete the 9 open-ended explanations, and 132 (54% of 246) chose to do this for at least
one of those 9 items, but only 41(17% of 246; 31% of 132) did it to all 9 items. The 246 in-service
teachers had a mean attitude total score of 97 (SD 9.5), a median of 97, higher than the
indifference/neutrality 75 (mid-point of EAEE). Now we present the qualitative content analysis of the
EAEE survey open-ended answers from Portuguese in-service second cycle teachers. Among
teachers’ explanations for positive attitudes in the items considered, is their need for and interest in
teaching statistics, and for negative attitudes they emphasize mistrust of statistics presented on
television and their manipulation. These analyses allowed us to investigate teachers’ attitudes towards
statistics in order to devise a way to improve them. |
