Abstract

Results obtained from a project carried out with the aim of studying the state of the art of statistics education in Colombian schools are reported. The methodology used was based on collecting, summarizing and analyzing more than forty written productions of Colombian authors, all of them related to statistics or probability education. These included monographs, research projects and lectures presented during Mathematics Education events, and school textbooks. It can be pointed out, as a finding, that it does not exist a consolidated vision of what statistics and probability concepts and methods should be taught and how they should be taught in schools. Further, very few of the reviewed written productions address the relationship between the teaching and learning of statistics and the use of technology.
