This study describes the results of implementing a data analysis project to develop statistical knowledge in prospective primary school teachers. The project was applied to a group of 70 students distributed in 16 groups. From the reports prepared, we analyzed the competition achieved, the type of responses and the errors manifested. The analysis clearly shows certain achievements of the constructivist approach applied, and also some limitations on the learning levels. Although students prepare some answers with a degree of autonomy, their justifications are based on aspects of common statistical content knowledge without actually applying more advanced thinking, required by the problem posed. This suggests that the constructivist didactic approach should be complemented with moments of knowledge transmission to overcome blocking situations generated by the lack of previous knowledge.

Palabras llave : teacher education; statistics; constructivist teaching; teaching by projects; common and advanced knowledge.
