Direct linkPark, JinHyeong; Kim, Dong-Won – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Coordination of theoretical probability and relative frequency estimates is challenging in probability teaching and learning. Modeling is one of the ways of teaching and learning that facilitates inquiry between these two perspectives. Given that, we designed a modeling activity to support fifteen secondary students in investigating theoretical…

Peer reviewedHeitele, Dietger – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1975
Arguing that the teaching of stochastic processes should reflect the experience and reality of the student, the author urges concentration on fundamental ideas. The development of intuition should be encouraged, and to this end continuity in teaching and a spiralled curriculum are important. (SD)

Features and tools to outline and shape the long-term learning process for ratio are presented, with examples. Ratio-anticipating activity and creating visual models and schemes are stressed, with the basis for a theory of teaching and learning ratio presented. (MNS)

Peer reviewedShaughnessy, J. Michael – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1977
The author presents an approach to the teaching of undergraduate introductory probability and statistics. He also presents experimental evidence that suggests the approach helps students rely upon probability theory in making estimates for the likelihood of events rather than rely upon heuristic principles which may bias probability estimates.

Peer reviewedWilensky, Uri – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1997
Presents two case studies of learners attempting to understand the concept of normal distribution, specifically why physical phenomena such as height fall into normal distributions. Draws conclusions about a Connected Mathematics learning environment that enables confrontation with epistemological anxiety and the features of modeling languages…

Peer reviewedZaki, Moncef; Pluvinag, Francois – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
Probability theory can be developed from a theoretical or experimental probability approach. The problem, "The Gambler's Ruin," is used to study whether students are naturally sensitive to learning probability from an experimental probability approach through simulations. Results indicated that use of simulations can contribute to…
