Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Marks, Rachel; Brown, Margaret – Education Endowment Foundation, 2018
This document presents a review of evidence commissioned by the Education Endowment Foundation to inform the guidance document "Improving Mathematics in Key Stages Two and Three" (Education Endowment Foundation, 2017). The review draws on a substantial parallel study by the same research team, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, which…

Connecting Research to Teaching. Probability and Statistics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shaughnessey, J. Michael – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Presents research findings related to students' intuitive ideas about the concepts of chance to inform teachers how students form their concepts of probability and statistics. Discusses adolescents' conceptions of uncertainty, judgmental heuristics in making estimates of event likelihood, the conjunction fallacy, the outcome approach, attempts to…

Difficulties in Learning Basic Concepts in Probability and Statistics: Implications for Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Garfield, Joan; Ahlgren, Andrew – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
Although many articles in the education literature recommend how to teach statistics more effectively, there is little published research on how students actually learn statistics concepts. The literature reviewed in this paper indicates a need for collaborative, cross-disciplinary research on how students come to think correctly about probability…

The Concept of Chance in Everyday Teaching: Aspects of a Social Epistemology of Mathematical Knowledge.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Steinbring, Heinz – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
An attempt is made to elaborate on the connections and differences between the objective and subjective elements of mathematical knowledge using case study analysis relative to how an epistemological perspective about probability and randomness impacts upon a short classroom teaching episode.
