Direct linkFergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
The advent of data science has led to statistics education researchers re-thinking and expanding their ideas about tools for teaching statistical modeling, such as the use of code-driven tools at the secondary school level. Methods for statistical inference, such as the randomization test, are typically taught within secondary school classrooms…

Fergusson, Anna; Pfannkuch, Maxine – Journal of Statistics Education, 2020
Informally testing the fit of a probability distribution model is educationally a desirable precursor to formal methods for senior secondary school students. Limited research on how to teach such an informal approach, lack of statistically sound criteria to enable drawing of conclusions, as well as New Zealand assessment requirements led to this…

Forbes, Sharleen; Chapman, Jeanette; Harraway, John; Stirling, Doug; Wild, Chris – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2014
For many years, students have been taught to visualise data by drawing graphs. Recently, there has been a growing trend to teach statistics, particularly statistical concepts, using interactive and dynamic visualisation tools. Free down-loadable teaching and simulation software designed specifically for schools, and more general data visualisation…

Hipkins, Rosemary – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2014
This is the first report from a new initiative called TLRI Project Plus. It aims to add value to the Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI), which NZCER manages on behalf of the government, by synthesising findings across multiple projects. This report focuses on two projects in statistics education and explores the factors that…

Peer reviewedNg, Sik Hung; Pipe, Margaret-Ellen; Beath, Bruce; Holton, Derek – Educational Psychology: An International Journal of Experimental Educational Psychology, 1999
Examines how the wording of statistical problems affects 11-12 year old children's answers. Ninety-six children were given statistical problems on two statistical concepts (base-rate and the law of large numbers). Indicates that the children had a high level of statistical intuition and knew when to reason statistically. (CMK)

Pfannkuch, Maxine – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2006
Drawing conclusions from the comparison of datasets using informal statistical inference is a challenging task since the nature and type of reasoning expected is not fully understood. In this paper a secondary teacher's reasoning from the comparison of box plot distributions during the teaching of a Year 11 (15-year-old) class is analyzed. From…
