Abstract
In the last three decades, a large number of countries have followed the international trend of incorporating statistics and probabilities throughout the complete school trajectory, leaving the responsibility for their teaching to mathematics teachers, who according to various investigations are not prepared for teach statistics or confront the difficulties of their students. Faced with this problem, following a qualitative methodology through a Content Analysis, in this work we present the process of construction of a Guide for the Evaluation of the Didactic Suitability of Educational Statistics Instruction processes for mathematics teachers. This guide is organized within the framework of Didactic Suitability Theory, in order to systematize the standards identified in search of improvements in the process of initial training of those teachers.
