Elbehary, Samah Gamal Ahmed – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
Probability signifies a mainstream strand in mathematics curricula. Nonetheless, many curricular documents prepared for teachers might not offer enough support. In such a situation, a further reflection on teachers' professional knowledge for teaching probability is demanded; especially, from the perspective of probabilistic reasoning (PoPR) that…

Alex, Jogymol Kalariparampil – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Teachers' content knowledge impacts on what they teach, how they teach and what their students learn. In order to check whether the prospective teachers in a rural South African university know the mathematics content they are expected to teach in the schools, at least at the same depth as their future students expected to attain, the research on…

Dolor, Jason Mark Asis – ProQuest LLC, 2017
In the last three decades, there has been a significant growth in the number of undergraduate students taking introductory statistics. As a result, there is a need by universities and community colleges to find well-qualified instructors and graduate teaching assistants to teach the growing number of statistics courses. Unfortunately, research has…

Gómez-Torres, Emilse; Batanero, Carmen; Díaz, Carmen; Contreras, José Miguel – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2016
In this paper we describe the development of a questionnaire designed to assess the probability content knowledge of prospective primary school teachers. Three components of mathematical knowledge for teaching and three different meanings of probability (classical, frequentist and subjective) are considered. The questionnaire content is based on…

Chernoff, Egan J.; Russell, Gale L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
The objective of this article is to contribute to the documented dearth of research on teachers' probabilistic knowledge. Prospective teachers of elementary school mathematics were asked to identify which result from five flips of a fair coin was least likely to occur. Participants, instead of being presented with sequences, were presented with…

Mischo, Christoph; Wahl, Stefan; Strohmer, Janina; Wolf, Carina – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2014
Early childhood teachers may differ regarding the knowledge base they use when making professional decisions. In this study two orientations are distinguished: the orientation towards scientific knowledge vs. the orientation towards intuition and subjective experience. As different tracks in early childhood teacher education qualify for…

Chernoff, Egan J.; Russell, Gale L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
The main objective of this article is to contribute to the limited research on teachers' knowledge of probability. In order to meet this objective, we presented prospective mathematics teachers with a variation of a well known task and asked them to determine which of five possible coin flip sequences was least likely to occur. To analyze…

Lee, Hollylynne S.; Doerr, Helen; Ärlebäck, Jonas; Pulis, Tyler – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2013
Our study, situated within graduate-level courses for teachers focused on statistics, illustrates work across institutions for making sense of teachers' statistical thinking. Using a common assessment instrument, we identify and discuss four items that indicate strong statistical thinking and two that highlight concepts with which teachers…

Metz, Mary Louise – Journal of Statistics Education, 2010
Statistics education has become an increasingly important component of the mathematics education of today's citizens. In part to address the call for a more statistically literate citizenship, The "Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE)" were developed in 2005 by the American Statistical Association. These…

McLeod, Kevin; Huinker, Deann – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
There has been much debate in recent years as to the amount and type of mathematical knowledge that teachers need to acquire. One set of recommendations is provided by the Mathematical Education of Teachers (MET) report, produced jointly by the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. This paper reports on efforts…
