van Dijke-Droogers, Marianne; Drijvers, Paul; Bakker, Arthur – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
While various studies suggest that informal statistical inference (ISI) can be developed by young students, more research is needed to translate this claim into a well-founded learning trajectory (LT). As a contribution, this paper presents the results of a cycle of design research that focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of the…

Dierdorp, Adri; Bakker, Arthur; Eijkelhof, Harrie; van Maanen, Jan – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2011
To support 11th-grade students' informal inferential reasoning, a teaching and learning strategy was designed based on authentic practices in which professionals use correlation or linear regression. These practices included identifying suitable physical training programmes, dyke monitoring, and the calibration of measurement instruments. The…
