Kazak, Sibel; Leavy, Aisling – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
To promote the development of young children's probabilistic intuitions through experience, we focus on the dual nature of probability related to both belief (subjective notion) and frequency (objective notion). This paper reports on the responses of 7-8-year-olds on two tasks used to bridge subjective and objective notions of probability. We…

Martha Elena Aguiar Barrera; Humberto Gutierrez Pulido; Veronica Vargas Alejo – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
This research presents the results of the implementation of a model-eliciting activity called Brickyards, designed to promote the learning of the binomial distribution. The theoretical framework used was the Models and Modeling Perspective, and the participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a probability and statistics course of the…

Zorzos, Michail; Avgerinos, Eugenios – Research in Social Sciences and Technology, 2022
Data analysis is one of the most popular fields of mathematics and includes statistics and probability. These two mathematical domains are some of the most well-known, influencing everyday life and the various sciences. Their teaching lays the foundation for primary education and culminates in secondary education. Probability and statistics are…

Ekol, George; Mlotshwa, Simphiwe – Pythagoras, 2022
This case study carried out during the 2020 coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown used online data collection means to investigate the distribution of cognitive demand levels of probability and counting principles (PCP) learning tasks in a popular online Grade 12 mathematics textbook, based on the PCP teachers' rating. The teachers'…

Sharma, Sashi; Sharma, Shweta; Doyle, Phil; Marcelo, Louis; Kumar, Daniel – Teachers and Curriculum, 2021
Learning about probability can pose difficulties for students at all levels. Performing probability experiments using games can encourage students to develop understandings of probability grounded in real events. In this reflective paper, we explore the thinking of a group of students and teachers as they reasoned about experimental and…

Yusuf, Mardiana; Rahim, Suzieleez Syrene Abdul; Eu, Leong Kwan – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2020
Various solving strategies in probability of events could complicate the students in choosing the best strategy in problem solutions. This research was carried out to identify the favourite solving strategies used by college students to solve probability and event problems. As a preliminary of a case study, only three students were selected as…

Seebut, Supot; Wongsason, Patcharee; Kim, Dojin; Putjuso, Thanin; Boonpok, Chawalit – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Simulation modeling is an effective tool for solving problems that cannot be explained analytically or when data cannot be collected. This is done by simulating the observed behavior of a problem under study using a computer program. In math education, this can develop knowledge and fundamental competencies of simulation modeling at a higher level…

Wijaya, Ariyadi; Elmaini; Doorman, Michiel – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
This research is aimed to describe a learning trajectory for probability through game-based learning. The research employed design research consisting of three stages: preparing for the experiment, design experiment, and retrospective analysis. A hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) using Sudoku and Snake-and-ladder games was developed by…

Hokor, Evans Kofi – Pedagogical Research, 2020
Several studies revealed that probability misconceptions were widespread among students, but the activities for addressing the misconceptions has been lacking. This study designed activities that reflect real life situations for addressing equiprobability bias, positive and negative recency effects, belief bias and representativeness bias for…

Batista, Rita; Borba, Rute; Henriques, Ana – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
This study aims to analyse the reasoning that children and adults with the same school level use to assess and justify the fairness of games, considering aspects of probability such as randomness, sample space, and comparison of probabilities. Data collection included a Piagetian clinical interview based on games of chance. The results showed that…

Park, Jihyun; Yu, Renzhe; Rodriguez, Fernando; Baker, Rachel; Smyth, Padhraic; Warschauer, Mark – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Time management is crucial to success in online courses in which students can schedule their learning on a flexible basis. Procrastination is largely viewed as a failure of time management and has been linked to poorer outcomes for students. Past research has quantified the extent of students' procrastination by defining single measures directly…

Hourigan, Mairéad; Leavy, Aisling M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Probability education has fast become a contested area, with curriculum authorities in some countries recently suspending its introduction until the post-primary years. In other countries, children as young as 7 years are introduced to informal probability concepts. These recent international shifts in practice have contributed to a paucity of…

Majid al-Rifaie, Mohammad; Yee-King, Matthew; d'Inverno, Mark – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
This paper proposes a new technique for analysing the behaviour of students on an online course. This work considers a range of social learning behaviours supported in our recently designed and implemented collaborative learning system which supports students giving and receiving feedback on each other's developing work and practice. The course…

Braham, Hana Manor; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2017
A fundamental aspect of statistical inference is representation of real-world data using statistical models. This article analyzes students' articulations of statistical models and modeling during their first steps in making informal statistical inferences. An integrated modeling approach (IMA) was designed and implemented to help students…

Haigh, Martin – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2016
Education for Global Citizenship is about living as though the future mattered. This evaluates learner reactions to a tree-planting exercise that invites reflection upon hopes for the world, personal responsibilities and acting locally while thinking globally. Participant hopes concerned: environmental sustainability, peace on earth, then the…
