Abstract
For the third time, in 2017 Portugal was a participant in the third International Posters Competition of the International Institute of Statistical Literacy, ISLP. The aim of the ISLP competition is supporting, creating, and boosting activities of statistical literacy in every country in the world, materializing through the execution of a project work in statistics and its disclosure by form of a poster. The schools that participated in the first ISLP competition still try to continue, although an effort has been made to involve all the Portuguese schools the fact is that the schools do not involve themselves in this competition. In this paper, we analyze the views of the organizers, the jury members, and from the participants – teachers and students – in the ISLP competitions.
