The association between database and visualization system may present several advantages to teaching and learning various statistical techniques. This practice objected to presenting how Gapminder system might be used as a support to teaching and learning processes of Simple Correlation Analysis basic concepts to students from higher education courses. An investigation was developed by using exploratory research in a qualitative approach, considering a questionnaire as a data collection tool. After the students’ performances analysis, it was possible to verify that the results were positive, once they presented passing scores close to eight on a zero to ten scale, and low variability, what gives the two groups a good development in the proposed evaluations. By the obtained results, it was possible to verify Gapminder system may assist in the construction and consolidation of introductory concepts linked to studies about linear relations between two quantitative variables.
