Haines, Brenna – Journal of Statistics Education, 2015
The purpose of this article is to sketch a conceptualization of a framework for Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics Teaching Knowledge. Recent research continues to problematize the lack of knowledge and preparation among secondary level statistics teachers. The College Board's AP Statistics course continues to grow and gain popularity, but is a…

Witterholt, Martha; Goedhart, Martin; Suhre, Cor – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
Due to changes in Dutch mathematics education, teachers are expected to use new teaching methods such as enquiry-based teaching. In this study, we investigate how teachers design, implement and evaluate new methods for statistics teaching for 7th-graders during a professional development trajectory based on peer collaboration. We monitored…

New Standards Require Teaching More Statistics: Are Preservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers Ready?
Lovett, Jennifer N.; Lee, Hollylynne S. – Journal of Teacher Education, 2017
Mathematics teacher education programs often need to respond to changing expectations and standards for K-12 curriculum and accreditation. New standards for high school mathematics in the United States include a strong emphasis in statistics. This article reports results from a mixed methods cross-institutional study examining the preparedness of…

Groth, Randall E.; Bergner, Jennifer A. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
This report describes a model for mapping cognitive structures related to content knowledge for teaching. The model consists of knowledge elements pertinent to teaching a content domain, the nature of the connections among them, and a means for representing the elements and connections visually. The model is illustrated through empirical data…

Cross Francis, Dionne; Hudson, Rick; Vesperman, Crystal; Perez, Arnulfo – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2014
Recent calls have been made to enhance and extend the statistical experiences of K-12 students. However, to ensure that such goals are met, teachers also need to develop deep conceptual understanding and pedagogical content knowledge that are essential to statistical thinking and reasoning. In this regard, over the past two decades, leading…
