Constituent elements of this process are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00a0the promotion of the paradigm of statistical research (fundamental in the process of acquiring knowledge through the empirical observation of reality);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0the orientation to the use and application of data and information produced by official statistics to a plurality of cognitive, decision-making and evaluation contexts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0the development of a method for decision-making, especially in conditions of uncertainty, through the use of official statistics;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0the knowledge of the set of criteria that guide the activity of the statistician and of the researcher;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0the promotion of metadata culture;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0the attention to quality and its \u201ccertification\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On these bases, Istat\u2019s proposal on the development of statistical culture is based on four pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>to disseminate the pervasive and reasoned use of statistics within the curriculum disciplines, oriented to humanistic subjects and social sciences, as well as to the Stem disciplines (sciences, technologies, engineering, mathematics);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to equip the learners with a \u201cstatistical toolbox\u201d and to develop the critical sense, the recognition of regularities (patterns), the capacity for synthesis (statistics) and the habit of interpreting reality through models;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to reach boys and girls outside the scholastic channel, through familiar and fun activities and methods (gamification);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0to develop the quantitative and statistical interest and literacy of adults.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, at the national level, Istat has started collaborating in 2018 with the project \u201cAt the School of OpenCoesion\u201d (A Scuola di Open Coesione \u2013 Asoc). This project is eligible as Pathway for transversal skills and orientation (Percorso per le competenze trasversali e per l\u2019orientamento \u2013 PCTO) and for teachers\u2019 training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An agreement was signed in 2019 with the Association of European Economics Education (Associazione europea per l\u2019educazione economica \u2013 AEEE Italia). The agreement is aimed at developing statistical literacy in schools and it is addressed to the training of teachers in secondary schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Istat also organizes study visits to illustrate the main activities of the Institute and the National Statistical System and to stimulate students\u2019 curiosity for statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the activities in Rome write to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:cultura-statistica@istat.it\">cultura-statistica@istat.it<\/a>, while for visits organized in other regions contact the\u00a0regional network\u00a0for the development of statistical culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\t<section class=\"gblock spacer white-bg  py-0\"  aria-labelledby=\"section-1\"><div class=\"container p-lg-0 block_count_1\" data-blockcount=\"1\"><div class=\"row pb-2\">\t<div class=\"col-12\">\r\n\t\t<div><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The&nbsp;development of statistical literacy&nbsp;is implemented through actions aimed at increasing the critical sense of the users through the correct understanding of statistical data and information.
