RESUMO

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of an intervention of education on the concepts of Statistics with elementary students from high school, built from a cultural visit (exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci), and the environment as a tool complexity. It is a search for embossing qualiquantitative, which followed an almost-experimental model in the format pretest/ intervention/post-test, supplemented by qualitative analysis of the activities carried out during a speech of education. They were subjects of the search 45 students in two classes of the 2 nd grade of high school, a public school in the outskirts of the city of Sao Paulo. The two classes were randomly allocated to the experimental group, which participated in the intervention, the control group, which took its lessons routine. Both groups answered the pre-test simultaneously. Students in the experimental group visited the exhibition "Leonardo Da Vinci - A display of a Genius," focusing on the "Vitruvian man", which explores the various proportions of the human body, then in the classroom, collected their own data (age, gender, number of siblings, weight, height, size of the arms, among others), organizing them into tables and graphs, calculating measures of central tendency, exploring the relationship between the body measures, and finally dealt with the data on the environment using computer Tabletop software. After the speech the two groups answered the post-test. The results showed that the experimental group presented a statistically superior performance in the post-test, this result, combined the results of qualitative assessment allows us to conclude that the intervention of education, based on a work contextualized offered conditions for a significant learning these concepts
