van Borkulo, Sylvia Patricia; Chytas, Christos; Drijvers, Paul; Barendsen, Erik; Tolboom, Jos – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) is gaining attention in education as a part of digital literacy and can be addressed in several disciplines, including mathematics. Through the lens of Brennan and Resnick's framework, we investigated how computational concepts, practices, and perspectives can be addressed in upper-secondary statistics lessons using…

Ayhan Kursat Erbas; Mehmet Fatih Ocal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, to explore middle and high school students' intuitively-based (mis)conceptions in probability, particularly availability and representativeness heuristics. Second, to investigate teachers' awareness of these intuitively-based (mis)conceptions and the effectiveness of their instructional practices to…

Anna Fergusson; Maxine Pfannkuch – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Statistics teaching at the high school level needs modernizing to include digital sources of data that students interact with every day. Algorithmic modeling approaches are recommended, as they can support the teaching of data science and computational thinking. Research is needed about the design of tasks that support high school statistics…

Per Nilsson; Andreas Eckert – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
This study contributes to the call for influencing practice by increasing attention to how learning environments can be designed to support learning in statistical inference. We report on a design experiment in secondary school (students 14-16 years old), that resulted in a set of lessons with the learning goal of teaching students how to apply…

Suzanne Harper; Dana Cox – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2023
Modernizing mathematics refers to the idea that teachers should rethink how mathematics has traditionally been taught in schools by making rich tasks and collaboration the focus of instruction and promoting opportunities for active learning. "Modern Math Tasks to Provoke Transformational Thinking" presents carefully crafted tasks that…

Sashi Sharma; Phil Doyle; Daniel Kumar; Louis Marcelo – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2024
Aotearoa New Zealand is a super diverse nation in terms of the ethnicities of its people and languages spoken. With an increased rate of immigration from various parts of the world, the presence of multiple languages in many domains of social life is a reality. Consequently, classrooms are now places where learners have different linguistic and…

Morgado Hernández, Cindy Nathalia; Sánchez, Ernesto Sánchez – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We report the results of a study on informal covariate statistical reasoning conducted with 22 students (aged 16 and 18 years). We designed and implemented a task in a digital technology environment to introduce the line of best fit. The task design having elements that foresee misconceptions reported in the literature, and by focusing on four…

Gomez-Blancarte, Ana Luisa; Chavez, Reynaldo Rocha; Aguilar, Rosa Daniela Chavez – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
This paper presents partial results of a one-year project funded by a grant from Mexico's National Science and Technology Council and the National Institute for the Evaluation of Education that was designed to characterize the teaching of statistics in Mexican high school education. Work was organized in two 6-month phases. The first stage…

Lee, Hollylynne S.; Harrison, Taylor – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
This study provides a glimpse into the professional learning, beliefs, and practices of high school teachers of Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics. Data are from a survey of 445 AP Statistics teachers in late 2018. Results indicate many AP Statistics teachers have taken several statistics courses and engage in professional development related to…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
Tasks for teaching predictive modelling and APIs often require learners to use code-driven tools. Minimal research, however, exists about the design of tasks that support the introduction of high school students and teachers to these new statistical and computational methods. Using a design-based research approach, a web-based task was developed.…

Yimam, Mekonnen; Dagnew Kelkay, Asrat – Cogent Education, 2022
This study attempted to develop a literature-informed discourse-based instructional approach and evaluated its effects on eleventh-grade students' conceptual and procedural understandings in probability and statistics. To this end, a quasi-experimental study that involved two control groups and one experimental group was used. One-way analysis of…

Esquibel, Joseph; Rook, Deborah L.; LoRe, Sondra M.; Starnes, John H.; Miller, Jillian M.; Buntz, Jennifer G.; Hugo, Alys; Nieuwsma, Christianne B.; Seitz, Heather; Bissell, Ahrash; Gross, Louis; Kiser, Stacey; Lenhart, Suzanne; Mills, Michael A.; Neuhauser, Claudia; Corriette, Irene; Prescott, Sarah; Jenkins, Kristin P.; Karpakakunjaram, Vedham – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…

Ozturk, Ayse – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2014) highlights that effective teaching practices promote students' reasoning and sense making through various problem-solving strategies. Rather than telling students what to do and how to solve problems, teachers are expected to engage learners in accessible real-life problem situations…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
Informally testing the fit of a probability distribution model is educationally a desirable precursor to formal methods for senior secondary school students. Limited research on how to teach such an informal approach, lack of statistically sound criteria to enable drawing of conclusions, as well as New Zealand assessment requirements led to this…
