Mathematical Literacy on Statistical Measures - A Design Research Study

In most countries, only very limited time resources are available for statistics education within mathematics education. Thus, statistics education research needs to develop teaching-learning arrangements that are compact and applicable to classrooms. Christian Büscher designs and investigates a compact teaching-learning arrangement which aims at mathematical and reflective knowledge about statistics. Central results include the specification of the learning content of statistical measures, an empirical reconstruction of students' learning processes towards statistical measures, and the identification of students' situated reflections about mathematics within their learning processes.

List of contents

Mathematical Literacy in Statistics.- Specifying the Mathematizing Concept of Statistical Measure.- Reflective Concepts and Activities as a Conceptualization of Reflective Knowledge.- Designing a Compact Teaching-Learning Arrangement.- Identifying Students' Situative Reflective Concepts.
