Dialectic modeling of statistics from a historical cultural approach: the object of study and its measurement

Abstract

This essay proposes a dialectic modeling of the concepts of statistics in a historical genetic perspective based on the method of ascending from the abstract to the concrete. The purpose of this work is to guide the teaching and learning process of the statistical concepts in the introductory courses from various university careers and trainings classes, so that the generally superficial, spread and ahistorical way of presenting the formal abstractions in the textbooks is overcome. It was possible to give unity to the diverse in two dimensions: the object of study in its phenomena part, and in the fundamentals of measurement scales, and at the same time, enrich with more determination the different and concepts serving its constants and invariables. Due to space, the way in which statistic deals with phenomena was not included, and it is reserved for future articles.
