Groth, Randall; Rickards, Megan; Roehm, Elizabeth – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2023
In this report, we analyze students' learning of compound probability by describing connections they generated while engaged with tasks involving two independent events. Several of their connections were compatible with the development of expertise, such as recognizing the need to determine sample spaces across a variety of situations and noting…

Kataoka, Verônica Yumi; Vita, Aida Carvalho; Da Silva, Claudia Borim – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
This article aims to investigate the teaching of chance in the context of tactile models (TM) from the perspective of the Theory of Register of Semiotic Representations. In this qualitative research, we sought to identify the different types of semiotic registers and transformations (treatment and conversion), in the solutions of the tasks of the…

Magalhães, Marcos N.; Camargo Magalhães, Maria Cecilia – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
Conceptual appropriation is central to the teaching-learning and development processes. The intellectual stage is expressed by writing, verbalization and the use of the object under construction, among other means of expression. This paper discusses the conceptual appropriation by means of the creation of collaborative situations in which the…

Ubilla, Francisca M.; Vásquez, Claudia; Rojas, Francisco; Gorgorió, Núria – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
We consider the ability to complete an investigative cycle as an indicator of the robustness of students' statistical knowledge. From this standpoint, we analyzed the written reports of primary education student teachers when they developed an investigative cycle in a Chilean and a Spanish university. In their development of the stages of the…

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…

Huey, Maryann E.; Champion, Joe; Casey, Stephanie; Wasserman, Nicholas H. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
Research-based guidelines for learning variation exist (e.g., Franklin et al., 2007; Garfield, delMas, & Chance, 2007), but little is known about how teachers plan to teach standard deviation, or how these plans align with recent recommendations. In this article, we survey lesson plans designed by inservice and preservice secondary…
