Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the statistical skills of ninth-grade students in educational institutions in Río Quito, Chocó, Colombia. The study was conducted using a quantitative-descriptive and projective approach and incorporated data collection techniques using validated and reliable questionnaires, aimed at both students and teachers. The results revealed significant weaknesses in students’ statistical skills, especially in the procedural dimensions associated with the organization, representation, and interpretation of data. However, relatively superior performance was observed in the skill of generating conclusions, although without reaching optimal levels of statistical thinking. Based on a comparative analysis of teaching practices and student performance, the “Aula Est–Activa” (Active Classroom) proposal was designed, understood as an active statistical teaching model aimed at integrating projectbased learning, cooperative work, and gamified experiences, articulated with the stages of statistical thinking. The findings allow us to conclude that strengthening statistical thinking in rural contexts requires active methodologies, specific teacher training, and contextualized teaching, capable of linking statistics with the daily lives and realities of students in Chocó.
