Abstract:
The role of Statistics is becoming increasingly important in today's society. According to several authors, collaborative work has shown to be one of the most adapted forms of facilitating knowledge appropriation and the mobilisation of competencies. The project Interaction and Knowledge has studied and encouraged peer interactions in the Mathematics class, in association with a new didactic or experimental contract, as a way of promoting pupils' performances, allowing them to reach relational knowledge. By analysing excerpts of these interactions we can understand the facilitating character of this working method.
