Abstract

The objective of this article is to present the metatext constructed from the synthesis of the analysis of the results of the development of a Statistics Teaching Project in the initial training of mathematics teachers for the constitution of knowledge in professional formation. The classes were used for text reading, statistical tasks, construction/analysis of teaching materials for instruction, statistical competencies, and their development in Basic Education. Grounded in discursive textual analysis and based on the category of "Teaching Knowledge" and its subcategories, "Subject Matter Knowledge," "Curricular Knowledge," and "Knowledge derived from professional formation," a word cloud was constructed to group and organize words graphically based on their frequency, thus conducting a quantitative lexical analysis. To observe the connectivity between the active words in the excerpts, a similarity analysis was carried out, which made it possible to identify co-occurrences, that is, the syntactic or semantic combination of words. This interpretation made it possible to find, as a result, the concern of graduates on how to teach Statistics and develop their concepts.
