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…

Bakker, Arthur; Derry, Jan – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2011
This theoretical paper relates recent interest in informal statistical inference (ISI) to the semantic theory termed inferentialism, a significant development in contemporary philosophy, which places inference at the heart of human knowing. This theory assists epistemological reflection on challenges in statistics education encountered when…

Makar, Katie; Bakker, Arthur; Ben-Zvi, Dani – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2011
Informal statistical inference (ISI) has been a frequent focus of recent research in statistics education. Considering the role that context plays in developing ISI calls into question the need to be more explicit about the reasoning that underpins ISI. This paper uses educational literature on informal statistical inference and philosophical…

Madden, Sandra R. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2011
Recent studies have highlighted the potential importance of informal inferential reasoning (IIR) in supporting learners' general statistical reasoning. This paper presents a framework based on a retrospective analysis of design research in the context of technology-rich statistical professional learning experiences for high school mathematics…

Watson, Jane M.; Callingham, Rosemary A.; Kelly, Ben A. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2007
This study presents the results of a partial credit Rasch analysis of in-depth interview data exploring statistical understanding of 73 school students in 6 contextual settings. The use of Rasch analysis allowed the exploration of a single underlying variable across contexts, which included probability sampling, representation of temperature…
