In order to apprehend the meaning of a text, it is not enough to know how to spell the words that constitute it, it is necessary to use a wide range of other resources. Likewise, in order to “read” statistical information we need to know certain concepts, terminologies and methodologies used in their preparation.

ALEA – Local Applied Statistics Action – is a partnership project that aims to create and make available instruments to support the teaching and learning of Statistics.

The main support of its action is this website, although it also includes other initiatives, namely meetings/forums and training activities for teachers.

Mission and goals

ALEA – Local Applied Statistics Action – was created precisely with the purpose of providing instruments related to teaching, learning and, consequently, the understanding and use of Statistics, aimed essentially at teachers and students of basic and secondary education, but which may also benefit other audiences.

It is, therefore, par excellence, an instrument for increasing Statistical Literacy in different contexts, which contributes to the Information Society, with all the resulting benefits in Training for Citizenship.
