Equivalence-based instruction and the teaching of statistics: a systematic literature review

Abstract

In this work, the objective was to systematically analyze the literature found in the world context that addressed the use of Equivalence-Based Instruction (EBI) in teaching statistical concepts at any level of education. Seventeen works were selected and the IRaMuTeQ software was used to carry out multivariate textual analysis by organizing texts that were prepared considering the focus of the research, the method used, the context in which the work was developed, the type of study and the main results and conclusions. The analysis showed the potential of using the EBI for teaching advanced concepts in Statistics (statistical inference) to higher education students. In addition, the research showed a large space to be filled by research that explores the use of teaching technologies derived from IBE associated with experimental applications aimed at teaching statistics in the context of basic education.
