Abstract

This paper presents the results of the implementation of a Poisson distribution teaching design incorporating the use of Fathom software. The teaching experiment took place during three class sessions and 20 Engineering students from a Statistical Methods course at a chilean university participated. To analyze the productions of the participants, content analysis and some theoretical elements of the ontosemiotic approach were used. The results indicate that it was motivating for the participants to use the technological tool, and it allowed them to understand and reason about the main characteristics of the Poisson distribution as the final results of the questionnaire suggested.
