Lampen, Erna – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2011
Meaning in statistics is fundamentally related to contexts, which poses the challenge to teach statistics in contexts, taking everyday reasoning as the basis from which to develop statistical reasoning. I investigate how 13 teachers-as-learners in an introductory statistics course co-structure their situation models toward a shared real model that…
